Product Description: The British sitcom The Office has the most devoted following this side of Monty Python, so an American remake seemed doomed. Amazingly, the remake actually finds its own enjoyable version of the original's uncanny comedy of embarrassment. Office manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell, The Daily Show, The 40 Year-Old Virgin) believes he's the beloved leader of the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of a paper products company--but his relentless and painfully forced efforts at comedy creep out everyone around him, including paranoid Dwight (Rainn Wilson, who had a memorable recurring role on Six Feet Under), nervous receptionist Pam (Jenna Fischer, LolliLove), and aimless salesman Jim (John Krasinski, A New Wave), who's smitten with the already engaged Pam. The pilot episode suffers from closely replicating the British pilot, but after that The Office finds its own footing, turning diversity training, an office birthday party, and a basketball game into excruciating yet hypnotically funny rituals of humiliation. Carell, though clearly talented, can't match Ricky Gervais' unique performance as the aggressively needy British manager (it's hard to imagine that anyone could); as a result, the supporting roles become more prominent, and Wilson, Fischer, and Krasinski quickly create a rapport that matches and may even exceed that of their British counterparts. Be sure to watch the deleted scenes; remarkably, they're as good as the material that made it on the air in this six-episode season. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews
I Can't Think Of A Very Good Title...
I'm not really a TV show person because I have too many other fun things to do, and I can never make it to the TV every (day of the week) at (time). Take a star for the fact that this DVD waits for you to start...
The cast of this show is great! The combination of Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and the supporting cast is comedy dynamite (in a good way) and makes for some laugh out loud moments. Take another two stars.
The music in the opening credits is awesome...another star.
And finally, the actual shows. Somehow, each one is very different from the next, yet they all have the same combination of stupidity (the good kind) awkwardness and hilariousness, which isn't a word but neither is Goobleneck...take another two stars.
Well what do you know, Amazon didn't give us enough stars for The Office...

Best... comedy...ever!
You have to do yourself the favor of watching this. It's too bad the first season was so short. I watched it in one sitting, and immediately bought the 2nd and 3rd seasons. The actors were perfectly chosen, Steve Carrell is amazing, and the whole cast is flawless.
Bear...beats... Battlestar Galactica.

Best Show Ever!!
This show is the best show ever! It has comedy, drama, romance, everything that you want in a television show. The actors are fabulous, and the writing is superb. I never saw the British version of the show, so I can't compare the two, but I must say I eagerly wait for every Thursday night on NBC to see what will happen next. If you are looking for a great tv show to watch, this is it!!

The Office, Season One
Hot. It's the original American season and it's awesome. They get better as the seasons go on, but you gotta start somewhere!

Must Watch Television
For any one who enjoys real, biting, and intelligent humor, this is a must watch show.
The first season is only 6 episodes, but once you watch this season, you will be hooked forever.
Not only does the show present the wittiest humor on television, but there are also significant plot lines to follow as the season develops. My wife, at first, enjoyed the romantic sub-plot between Pam and Jim, and now she is as hooked on the show as I am.
Whether you enjoy sarcastic, sardonic humor or just great television, this DVD and indeed the entire Office Series is a must buy.
