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

You can't go wrong with this DVD January 6, 2009
Amanda J. Klemz (Minneapolis, MN)
This DVD is great, my husband and I have bought all of the season's of the office because all the DVD's have hilarious extras and take outs. I would highly recommend.
Even better than the first season December 29, 2008
Val (RI)
It's unfortunate that Season 1 had so few episodes, but Season 2 more than makes up for that. At more than double the episodes, it's also double the hilarity. Michael is even more absurd, if possible and the rest of the cast more enjoyable. We get to know them even better and we laugh and sympathise and have a great time watching them interact with each other. From long-awaited confessions (which btw, is an AWFUL, AWFUL EVIL way to end the season), to the outrageous ideas that Michael randomly concocts, The Office is a brilliantly funny viewing experience.
For everyone that likes well-written, perfectly acted comedies with heart, The Office is the perfect choice.
Awesome! December 22, 2008
Brandi Couch (Texas)
We watch this over and over. We are big fans of this show and love having the DVDs to watch any time we want!
The Office is Awesome! December 16, 2008
Ladonna Blount (Atlanta, GA)
I could watch these episodes over and over and they are still funny! I'd recommend them for anyone who works in an office and appreciates intelligent humor!
Clearly, the best season of "The Office" December 13, 2008
Aloha Christina (Philadelphia, PA USA)
Season Two of the The Office is; hands-down the best season out of all the seasons so far. The latter ones just have captured the magic, IMHO. However; this is one DVD set I keep watching over and over. I highly recommend it for fans of this show!
