Summary: If only it was longer!
Comment: The first season of The Office does not disappoint, except in its length. Not having paid attention closely, I was surprised to find that it was only six episodes. That aside, the six episodes were all extremely entertaining. Steve Carrell is ingenious as Michael Scott, the regional manager with absolutely no class. He really shines in "Diversity Day." Also, as someone who started watching The Office during the second season, it was nice to be able to come back and see how everything began. This was definitely a worthwhile purchase!

Summary: Great Humor
Comment: My husband and I love watching The Office. The humor is amazing and it gets more funny the more we've watched it. In particular, I think season one is my favorite because of all the character development and fresh ideas. All I can say is that I'm sooooo glad that Michael Scott is not my boss!

Summary: Hilarious
Comment: There's something in watching Steve Carell act when you suddenly come to the conclusion that the man is not acting at all. He's that good. Michael, the character he plays is the boss of a paper supply company where a tv crew has been taping. You can tell immediately his employees pretty much can't stand him. He is an arrogant, sexist, awful excuse for a boss- but he think's the complete opposite. He tells the cameras that he thinks everyone there loves and admires and respects him. It's too damn funny cause you really believe he believes it.
Again, it all comes down to the flawless acting. And not just him, but everyone in the office is very natural at what they do-if they didn't it wouldn't be believable. It's very seamless and a joy to watch everything go down. You almost DON'T want to keep watching because it seems to pathetic and sad to watch a character like Michael do the things he does. But it is very addictive.
It's a comedy unlike any other. Those other shows rely on stupid gags and dumb jokes that are not even remotely funny. The Office relies purely on acting ability and flawless execution. And the ability to make it look as if it is not a show at all, but an everyday office environment. And in that, it succeeds brilliantly.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Light-hearted, refreshingly funny, good clean fun
Comment: Season 1 is the only one I've seen so far; I don't have much spare time to watch tv. After viewing all of the first season's episodes, though, it was enough to make me go out and buy the second and third seasons. The cast is great on this show. This is refreshing, light-hearted humor.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hillarious
Comment: Awesome show. Love the product. Six episodes should NOT cost this much. But it's good to have it.

Editorial Reviews:

In this hilarious and faster-paced adaptation of the popular British comedy series, Steve Carell is Michael Scott, the egotistical, insensitive and almost supernaturally incompetent regional manager of the Dunder Mifflin paper supply company. Michael sees himself as the office funnyman, a fount of business wisdom and his employees' cool friend. He has no clue that his staff merely tolerates his inappropriate behavior because he signs their paychecks. Michael acts as the obnoxious tour guide for an omni-present documentary crew who unflinchingly capture his many shortcomings along with Dunder Mifflin's petty workplace politics, simmering romances and side-splittingly awkward moments.
