| I love this show and if you haven't seen it, you must be living under a rock. every episode is just as funny as the last. Be warned some of the scenes are so hilariously awkward their really hard to watch, they'll have you covering your face with both hands saying "Oh no" while laughing out loud the whole time. with 22 episodes you'll be cringing and howling for hours. |

| Season Two was by far my favorite and the DVD set is a wonderful one to own. I have all the seasons, but if I was going to get just one, I'd get season two. I find myself watching it all the time and laughing HARD. I can't wait for the premier tonight! |

The Office is such a funny and entertaining television series. It's one of my favorites, and in my opinion the second season is one of the best so far. The series really starts to mature and the cast begins to gel in the second season. The writing is superb, and the cast is simply terrific. Steve Carell gives an award winning performance throughout the season, but the quality cast does not end there. Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, and John Krasinski are great, along with the rest of the cast.
The second season consists of the following 22 episodes:
"The Dundies" - Originally aired September 20, 2005
"Sexual Harassment" - Originally aired September 27, 2005
"Office Olympics" - Originally aired October 4, 2005
"The Fire" - Originally aired October 11, 2005
"Halloween" - Originally aired October 18, 2005
"The Fight" - Originally aired November 1, 2005
"The Client" - Originally aired November 8, 2005
"Performance Review" - Originally aired November 15, 2005
"E-mail Surveillance" - Originally aired November 22, 2005
"Christmas Party" - Originally aired December 6, 2005
"Booze Cruise" - Originally aired January 5, 2006
"The Injury" - Originally aired January 12, 2006
"The Secret" - Originally aired January 19, 2006
"The Carpet" - Originally aired January 26, 2006
"Boys and Girls" - Originally aired February 2, 2006
"Valentine's Day" - Originally aired February 9, 2006
"Dwight's Speech" - Originally aired March 2, 2006
"Take Your Daughter to Work Day" - Originally aired March 16, 2006
"Michael's Birthday" - Originally aired March 30, 2006
"Drug Testing" - Originally aired April 27, 2006
"Conflict Resolution" - Originally aired May 4, 2006
"Casino Night" - Originally aired May 11, 2006
All of the episodes are so good that it is difficult to even pick out some favorites, although I will say that The Dundies, Sexual Harassment, Performance Review, Booze Cruise, and Casino Night are hilarious.
This DVD set is absolutely worth owning and you'll get a lot of enjoyment out of watching the episodes. If you're already a fan of The Office, you'll want to add this set to your collection. If you know someone who is a fan and doesn't already own this DVD set, it would make a great gift. |

| While the first season took a little while to ramp up, the second season of The Office is comedic gold all the way through. The second season expands upon many of the supporting characters and makes the main cast really shine. This is a show that's not to be missed. |

I was slow getting on board for The Office. I remember reading a creative writer, one time (can't remember who), saying that the most important element for writing a successful story was to have a likeable narrative voice. I think the reason it took me a while on this show was that the first season just didn't have that sort of voice. It was biting and harsh and a little dark. I didn't hate the show, but I certainly didn't like it enough to make the time to see new episodes.
But then, a couple of years later, I saw part of one episode, `The Dundies,' where Pam was accepting her award, and she was so charming, and the tone was so different from the previous season (you seeing such compassion displayed toward Michael) that I was hooked. It's been such a rewarding show since then. Especially in Season 2, there's not a bad episode. Everything is so smartly written and so well acted. This sense of humor is new to American tv. And it's a meaningful show, too.
My favorite thing about the show is how it's not conceived as just a bunch of single episodes. For most sitcoms, the season-long and multi-season-long story arches seem so episodic (no pun intended). There's always a big finale, but the plot wasn't developed such that the ending is logical, and the viewer is rarely emotionally prepared for whatever big even happens. I think this so hampers sitcoms, even good ones. They so rarely are conceived in a way that allows them to be anything beyond amusing.
The Office, of course, is the opposite. The Pam and Jim storyline is realistic (I've been Jim before, I know) and heartfelt. The characterizations (what acting by both of them!) are of such depth (two sitcom characters who are actual adults!) that we can see this as a truthful situation and feel for them. And there are no hasty movements. The story arches have been orchestrated expertly, and the wonderful season finale, `Casino Night,' makes for a perfect climax.
Of course, I love everything else, too. The childishness of Michael, the zaniness of Dwight, and the eccentricities of the other characters provide the perfect counterpoint for the more serious aspects of the show, and the show still succeeds as satire (as Season 1 wanted to be), albeit a less bitter one.
Anyway, I can't think of a better season for any show. This is a real can't-miss, clearly (to my mind) the best show on tv right now.

| A lot of people don't "get" this show but if you have a sharp sense of humor and appreciate some physical comedy mixed in you will love the office. Especially season two which I think has some of the funniest episodes of all. It's worth every penny!! |
