The Office Season 4 DVD Box Set
Season four was awesome even with the break in taping because of the writer’s strike. It forced me to go back in my DVR and watch the earlier episodes again. I am curious to know what your favorite episodes were from The Office Season 4.
Mine has to be the season opener, Fun Run. I guess because it covers almost all of the characters in the same episode. Andy’s chaffing, Jim and Pam’s secret relationship, Dwight and Angela’s rocky relationship, Michael trying to plan and execute another perfect event but falls on his face again are all covered in this hilarious episode.
Here are the breakdown descriptions of each episode. Comment on your favorite.

Description
Steve Carell (Get Smart) returns in his Golden Globe®-winning role of “The World’s Greatest Boss,” Michael Scott, in Season Four of the hit comedy series The Office! This must-own four-disc set includes every irreverent episode from Season Four, including the five extended full TV-hour specials, plus hours of hilarious deleted scenes and bonus features! Rejoin Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) as they bring romance to the workplace, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) as he continues his quest to be Michael’s right-hand man, and newly deemed “Wunderkind” Ryan (B.J. Novak), who’s working to drag Dunder Mifflin into the digital age. Developed for American TV by Primetime Emmy® Award winner Greg Daniels (King of the Hill, The Simpsons), The Office is the intelligent and edgy Primetime Emmy® Award-winning series that critics are hailing as “the funniest show on TV” (Gavin Edwards, Rolling Stone). You’ll enjoy the inappropriate remarks, uncomfortable silences and petty behavior again and again!
Is a season of The Office with less episodes still a great season? That seems to be the debate among the Emmy-winning sitcom's faithful audience in regard to season four, which like every program in 2007 and 2008 suffered due to the Writers Guild strike. But even a truncated season can't dispel the fact that The Office remains one of television's funniest and most consistently inventive programs. If a theme can be grafted upon season four, it's Things Fall Apart: former temp Ryan (writer-producer B.J. Novak) is promoted to executive position and then squanders that power, while Dwight (series MPV Rainn Wilson) attempts to recover from his breakup with Angela (Angela Kinsey) and her apparent relationship with the hapless Andy (Ed Helms). Elsewhere, HR's Toby (writer-director Paul Lieberstein) finally flees Dunder Mifflin for that long-threatened vacation to Costa Rica (and is replaced by Oscar nominee Amy Ryan), and Stanley (Leslie David Baker) reaches his own breaking point in "Did I Stutter?" The center of office entropy is, of course, boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell), who is knocked off his pedestal throughout the season; his sweetly naïve television spot is disparaged in "Local Ad," he's passed over for the executive outing in "Survivor Man," and in the season's highlights, he is forced to twice endure humiliation at the hands of his own girlfriend Jan (Melora Hardin), first in the heartbreaking "Deposition," and then immediately after in the Emmy-nominated "Dinner Party," which puts their disintegrating relationship in sharp focus. Even office lovebirds Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) experience some rocky moments as Jim anguishes over the right time to propose to her. But don't let that laundry list of disasters fool you into thinking that season four is a downer; if anything, many of the episodes are among the funniest the show has produced to date. Most notable among these are the opener "Fun Run" (the Scranton team participates in Michael's charity race for rabies prevention), "Job Fair" (Michael attempts to hawk Dunder Mifflin to high schoolers, while Jim struggles to land a client), and the aforementioned "Dinner Party" and "Goodbye, Toby." Longtime viewers may wince at some of the broader gags in the season, like Michael and Dwight driving into the lake in "Dunder Mifflin Infinity," but the best episodes are so strong--and Carell and his fellow players so dead-on in their performances--that it's hard to make a case against the season for those relatively few low points. Extras in the season-four set are fewer than in previous releases, though that may have to do with the reduced number of episodes. Deleted scenes are offered for every episode, and many are real gems, most notably those in "Dinner Party" and "Goodbye Toby." A smattering of commentaries is also included; Carell and Krasinski are noticeably absent, but Wilson, Fischer and the writing and directing staff more than make up for their absence. And the featurette "Writer's Block," which includes footage of the writers' panel at an Office convention, gives an amusing alternate to the usual behind-the-scenes coverage. Michael's complete ad for Dunder Mifflin, a battery of amusing faux PSAs for rabies, and a gag reel do much to fill out the supplemental features. --Paul Gaita Stills from Season Four of The Office (Click for larger image)

Reviews
I am from the UK where only seasons 1,2 and 3 have been shown/been released on DVD. Therefore you can imagine my joy when I found out that my DVD player was multi region and therefore could play The Office Season 4. This season is by no means the best season, however it is still hilarious. It is well worth a buy if you, like me were dying to know what happened after the end of the season 3 climax. Also, I have to add that in my opinion, American DVDs seem to be of a better standard than their European counterparts. Both in packaging, content and freebies. All in all, an amazing product that I would recommend to anyone State side or European.
They should have stopped after three. Season four is where the show's humorous moments are outweighed by the "this is just too stupid" moments. In one episode, for example, Michael Scott is driving a car with Dwight. The GPS system in the car says "right turn" and, with Dwight protesting that they should only bear right, Michael turns right and drives into a lake. You know the show is losing it when Michael Scott is portrayed as even more demented than Dwight. Season four is still laugh-out-loud funny at times, but usually not enough to make it worth your time. The only reason to watch season four is as a soap opera: There are some interesting things going on in the characters lives, if you care enough about them.
The only bad thing about owning the office season on dvd is that I can't stop watching them once i'v started. Before you know it I finished the whole season in two days:( I LOVE all the characters, and the humor in this show is exactly what gets me laughing hard outloud! I guess my review isn't about this particular season-it's about the show. In my opinion they all won't disappoint if you like the others.
Ah, this season brings us back to a slightly changed office of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Scranton, Pennsylvania branch. Ryan is now the Vice-President of the entire North East Region and is Michael's Boss. There's love in the air in the fourth season - love found, love lost, love faked and love denied. There's death and injury and people leaving and new people arriving. There's also a lot of the outrageous humor that makes The Office the great show that it is! I must say that I am a gigantic fan of The Office. Though this season is truncated, it is very funny (except for the seventeenth episode, "Did I Stutter?" which is surprisingly unfunny), and I really enjoyed it (especially Dwight's B&B). I like the extras, especially the deleted scenes. So, if you are a fan of The Office, like I am, then get this DVD set, you won't be disappointed!
Such a funny show! Odd to get used to at first - based on the British show - but very comedic! The product came before it was scheduled to and in great condition.
