Description
It's time to clock in for Season Two of The Office, the hilarious and witty TV-mockumentary starring Steve Carell (The 40-Year-Old Virgin) in his Golden Globe Award-winning role. From sexual politics to performance reviews to email espionage, the employees at Dunder-Mifflin are there to get the job done…or not. Join earnest but clueless boss Michael Scott (Carell), Assistant to the Regional Manager Dwight (Rainn Wilson), receptionist Pam (Jenna Fischer), sales rep Jim (John Krasinski), and the office temp, Ryan (B.J. Novak), as they make the daily grind a lot more laughable. Fully staffed with 22 outrageous episodes and hours of side-splitting bonus features, it’s the must-own collection that caused Time magazine to declare "Never has a lousy job been so much fun."
Thank goodness for second seasons. While the first season of The Office started dubiously with a pilot that was just a poor copy of the original British version, it did manage to provide enough good material to stay on the air and hint that better was yet to come. And here it is. The second season of The Office finds its own footing and manages to do the near-impossible by not only breaking free of the gravity of that excellent BBC version to stand solidly on its own, but establishing it as one of the best comedies on TV. Season 2 starts out strong with "The Dundies," where Regional Manager, Michael Scott (Steve Carell, The 40 Year Old Virgin) hosts the company’s annual office-awards event with his signature less-than-perfect grace. Things seem to only get worse for him this season as he bumbles a potential affair with his boss, Jan (Melora Harding), angers his employees by reading their emails ("Email Surveillance"), cooks his foot ("The Injury"), and accidentally destroys the warehouse with a forklift in "Boys and Girls," one of the season’s highlight episodes. Always at his side is the clueless paranoid Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the Assistant Regional Manager ("Assistant to the Regional Manager," Michael always reminds him in one of the show’s running jokes). One of the reasons for the show’s improvement in the second season is increased focus on Dwight’s character, who’s becoming something of a pop-culture icon right down to having his own bobblehead. He in turn provides so much good material for Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinsky) to play off of, to their own amusement. But of course, Pam and Jim’s simmering relationship is the real meat of the show, as their compatibility becomes more obvious, Jim’s feelings for her continue to grow, and Pam struggles with the impending marriage to her less-than-caring boyfriend, Roy (David Denman). Things have to come to a head, and they do nicely in the final episode, "Casino Night." As strong as the leading characters are in The Office, it’s the excellent peripheral characters that really make the show hilarious, especially dimwitted office-slug Kevin (Brian Baumgartner), long-suffering intern Ryan (B.J. Novak), office-ditz Kelly (Mindy Kaling), and ultra-conservative Angela (Angela Kinsey). As with season 1, this season contains excellent bonus features to give you an excuse to spend more time at The Office, including the fake PSAs, commentaries, Michael’s The Faces of Scranton movie, the ten stand-alone webisodes, and deleted scenes. --Daniel Vancini

Reviews
I guess the writers used up most of their best ideas during the first season of THE OFFICE because, during the second, there was a significant drop in laugh-out-loud moments. The show was still funny, mind you, and worth watching, but just not as funny as the first season. To be fair, the first season was so funny that one couldn't have realistically expected the writers to sustain it. But during the second season, Michael Scott and a couple of the other characters followed Dwight Schrute down the path to unbelievability. Dwight was too crazy to be real during he first season. By the middle of the second, Michael Scott had been transformed into another grossly exagerrated caricature. The show is shot in "documentary style" but, every time you see Michael Scott or Dwight on the screen, you're reminded that this is just a TV show. During the second season, THE OFFICE also devolved into a soap opera - albeit an often funny and interesting one. Having said that, it was still the best show on TV. (Not that that's saying much.)
I purchased this gift for my friend for her birthday. She received it in a timely manner and was very pleased. Thank you for helping me celebrate her birthday!
I ordered this item at the beginning of March, it's not mid-April and I still haven't received anything. I tried contacting the seller, but they didn't even bother responding. I had to file a claim, and am expecting that Amazon will just cancel the order. If you want to purchase something and actually receive it, I wouldn't order from this seller. They obviously don't care at all about the people trying to purchase their items.
This is the defining season of The Office. After a slow start in season 1, the crew and writers did an amazing job with the character development and the set up of future relationships among the crew. If you were disappointed by season1, fear not, this season redeems the show.
I love The Office... one of my favorite shows. But it is really disappointing the way these DVD's are packaged. What ever person decided to go with this packaging should be FIRED! I handle my DVD collection with care and yet still both seasons that I have that came with this packaging end up with massive scratches with render them unwatchable. There is little more annoying than getting half way through an episode that you are really into and having it freeze because the DVD is scratched. I realize in the grand scheme of things this is minor but I am not rich and cannot afford to replace these. Luckily I have Netflix so I can get this season on instant viewing but it doesn't have the extra's that I bought the DVD for. My recommendation if you buy these, put them into a DVD book and don't leave them in their original packaging. This goes for Season 2 and 3. I will watch the rest on Netflix.
