5.0 out of 5 stars This season is terrific, May 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Office Season 5 (Amazon Instant Video)
At first I just bought a couple of episodes to pass the time while eating dinner. ..but I should have known better. This season is 'classic': Weight Loss, Stress Relief and Lecture Circuit are worth the price of admission. I'll be buying the entire series now!
PS: Dwight and the CPR dummy is one of the best scenes from the Office ever, to me. (Stress Relief episode)

1.0 out of 5 stars Didn't Work, February 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Office Season 5 (Amazon Instant Video)
I bought this and it never worked at all, just kept loading for over an hour but still never worked. Asking for a review reminded me I actually paid for it so I'm going to try and go about getting that back. Great show, but buy the DVD's not the episodes online.
