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

Thank You October 25, 2008
Arrived in perfect condition like 2 days after it was ordered. Would recommend this seller in a heartbeat
Funny show October 24, 2008
I almost stopped watching the office because of season 1, but after i let a friend talk me into watching season 2, i was glad i did not give up on the show. This show is very funny and addictive.
Fall out of your chair funny September 29, 2008
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.
The Office hits its stride! September 26, 2008
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!

This season gave me an apiphary that this is the best show ever. There's bears, beets, and battlestar galactica- but nothing compares or bets The Office
