Editorial Reviews

It’s funny business as usual, as Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch celebrates 100 episodes of comedy and laughter in this uproarious five-season collection. Join Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and his downtrodden staff of paper pushers as they shamelessly conduct their office affairs in front of the all-seeing eyes of a documentary film crew. Developed for American television by Primetime Emmy® Award-winner Greg Daniels, The Office: Seasons 1-5 Collection not only contains the critically acclaimed series’ first 100 episodes but goes into overtime with tons of bonus including deleted scenes, gag reels, commentaries, webisodes and more!

1.0 out of 5 stars What the crap is this?, April 24, 2010

By

This review is from: The Office: Seasons 1-5 (DVD)

Let me start off by saying I'm not rating the show (the show is great), I am rating the quality of this boxed set. As you know, it doesn't come cheap. Based on the Amazon price for this, you could buy each individual season for the same price, if not cheaper, in which case you would be better off. When my DVDs arrived, they were sealed and appeared to be brand new. There is no way possible they are new. First of all, each and every disc has scratches or dings. All 17 discs are damaged in one way or another. Second, season 4 didn't have the plastic disc holder inside. It had a place for one, but somebody glued Styrofoam circles for the DVDs to hook onto instead. That means for all four discs to fit inside, they had to glue over and cover up the episode guide. Third, some of the discs are cracked. I didn't pay over $100 for damaged items. Normally, I would assume this was a mistake and send it back for an exchange but judging on the other reviews, this is just a low quality way to get The Office on DVD. Do yourself a favor and buy each season separately.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality; obvious scam, March 31, 2010

This review is from: The Office: Seasons 1-5 (DVD)

I purchased this boxed set so I could finally catch up with the show everyone talks about. I love the few episodes I've seen, but I haven't watched The Office much because I like to see shows from the beginning and watch them chronologically. Therefore, I believed this box set would be the buy for me.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to even bother trying to play these DVDs. As many other reviewers have said, the set is an obvious repackaging scam. Many of the discs I got were either scratched or showed obvious signs of use.

I was told that I was going to receive new DVDs. I obviously did not receive new, and am already working towards a return. I am very displeased. Don't let yourself be fooled. Don't buy this box set.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware - Not New As Advertised!!, January 13, 2010

Just got this delivered today, and it appears that this is some sort of repackaging scam; where items returned to vendors are bundled up and sold as a "collection". All the seasons boxes were dirty and or smudged, including most of the DVDs. In one of them, the plastic DVD holder was completely detached from the cardboard, with the DVDs just floating about. I'm not even going to bother to play any of the DVDs. I payed for new, and that's what I expect. It seems I'm not the only one with this problem. Other reviewers have alluded the same. I've just sent an email to the vendor, so let's see how this is handled.
