The guy above me nailed it on the head. The series has not lost its freshness; it keeps changing enough to stay interesting and is often a full-blown riot. It takes those awkward, embarrassing moments you have no doubt experienced in your own job and allows you to laugh at them (because it's not very funny when the people in your own office are incompetent and dumb). It is, as I refer to it, "believably over-the-top," meaning that although the characters often find themselves in bizarre situations, they never break character and react in realistic ways. If you haven't seen this show, what are you waiting for?

Steve Carell's character will go down as one of TV's all-time greats. He embodies this show perfectly: he is offensive, inappropriate, and completely self-centered, but he has a good heart and he really tries to make people happy.

Yeah I totally agree with the last reviewer. All four seasons of The Office in one nice set, at a great price. The 2-4th seasons alone would cost over 90 dollars USD, and the 1st season (which is still overpriced at over 20 dollars, in my opinion) is thrown in there as well at a total of only slightly more than 100 dollars.

Personally I thought season four was great, and possibly my favorite season of The Office so far, despite that the critics went harsh on it for a while and said the formula was 'losing its originality' this past season. They covered a lot of events and delved into new ground, and I'm hoping that the writers can keep the magic working as well as that for the duration of the series.

And that's not to downplay the first three seasons either - each of them are great, and just seem to get more creative and breathe new life into the series with each new season. I will say that The Office may not be for everyone - this style of comedy moves at a slow and steady pace, and may be too boring and even too heart-warming for people that are more into, say, your 'CSI's'. But it does a great job at duplicating, if exaggerating, the way people think, feel and act in life and at work - and is just plain fun.

For any 'office-fan', new or old, this 4-season set is going to be a steal.

Let me be the first to say - this will be the best use of your $105 that you will ever spend.

You don't want to buy from this seller. The boxed set is shipped directly from China and the quality is pathetic. There are episodes missing, some episodes will not even play, some are on a disk more than once under different titles. The list goes on and on. They skip. They came in pink plastic sleeves and nothing is properly labeled so you don't know what season or disk you are on. It was very disappointing. Pay a little extra and buy from a better seller.

It so good it will keep you up at night because you just can't get enough.
That's what she said.

This has been the best investment for some good laughs. I love this show. My husband and I couldn't wait to come home and watch another episode. Love it, Love it!!!!

I was introduced to The Office a few months ago through some friends. This show is brilliant, unique, fresh, and entertaining. All of the characters are funny in their own way, and once you get over the initial annoyance of Michael Scott you learn to love him too! The extras that are on seasons two and three are great. This is a great show that you can watch over and over again. I would recommend this show to anyone looking for a comedy that will keep you laughing and smiling time after time.

Arrived right on time, gave this as a present for my sister for Christmas. She loved it.

I don't watch much television, but my wife knew about this series and introduced it to me with this set for my birthday. It is a spot-on parody. Actors deliver their lines so well you'll swear it is all ad libbed! The humor is too risque to watch with our daughters, but for the two of us it is hilarious! Plus, the whole show is so subtle that you can watch a disc many times and still be fully entertained. Season 1 is a little out of character compared to the rest of the seasons here, but it's still worthy. A+

This was a gift for my daughter and husband, and they love it of course - can't get enough Office!
