The Office - Season Three (DVD, 2007, 4-Disc Set)

Season 3 of "The Office" not only hilariously distinguishes itself from other generic comedies, but further extends the identity of the US version of "The Office" beyond the UK version. In fact, I dare say that future reviewers shouldn't even bother with any comparisons.

When it comes to balance, "The Office" shows undeniable poise. The format of the show with its pseudo-documentary camera work with the talking heads sections gives the show an aire of seriousness countered by the witty onscreen action and dialogue. Also, while Michael (Steve Carell) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and their interaction with other characters provide the bulk of the awkward humor (i.e. Michael's obvious discomfort with topics like Oscar's out'ed homosexuality and being dominated in his relationship with Jan), the sweetness and sentimentality of Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) anchor the action with a love story caught in the lines of inevitability.

Sometimes characters seem to be one dimensional, but solid writing breaks them into instantly relatable people. The forever strangeness of Dwight, but a sense of humanity in his relationship with Angela. The everyman quality in Jim and his back and forth with the girl of his dreams. The clueless boss in Michael that really just wants attention just like everyone else.

Overall, the third season of "The Office" comes highly recommended even without the additional special features and deleted scenes. The humor may seem a bit slow for newcomers, but after a couple episodes its personality and humor is infectious. "Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica."

I was very excited with the delivery time of the product as it was only about 2 days, but I am very very upset because the seller said the product was new and wrapped, but when I opened the shipping package and pulled out the disc case I could tell right away that it was opened already and then re wrapped by this guy. When I then took off the fake wrapping I looked at the discs and there were some pretty bad scratches on them and there was food remnants left on the plastic part of the DVD case. This seller is rediculous and a lier.

GREAT SELLER A+++++ GREAT PRODUCT IN GREAT CONDITION ALOT CHEAPER THAN WHAT IT COSTS IN STORES. SHIPPED REALLY FAST GOT PRODUCT IN KLESS THAN A WEEK OF FINAL PURCHASE

My husband and I love the office and already had seasons 1 & 2. Season 3 is great as well. They are all funny!

The whole season of the office is great, this dvd just had me in stitches laughing throughout it all.
I would really recommend it to anyone. I will be watching it over and over again...

The season was great, however for some reason the second to last episode had no audio. I dont lnow why this happened but it did. I dont think this was the sellers fault, because the dvd set was factory sealed.

The third season of The Office is the best so far on DVD, each new season is getting better and better, with new characters being integrated, and old favorites being known on deeper and deeper levels. The comedy is still sharp and quick, with snappy one liners delivering laughs as easily as the numerous awkward pauses. I would recommend this for any fan of the show, or even a new viewer, who although may be unfamiliar with the show, could catch on quickly. Seller shipped quickly and item arrived as advertised.

Everything was OK except one of the episodes didn't have any sound. Otherwise, it arrived on time and was sealed. It was just defective with one episode.

I love the office. Amazing show. I have some problems with the disks though. One episode doesn't have sound, another skips the opening sequence. I don't know if this is common, but it's not much fun

Some issues with two episodes on the third disk - First two episodes would play video but no sound under the "play all" function. The sound would play under the episode index, however.

Excellent show and the out takes are as good or better than the show itself.
I would recommend seasons 1 -3 and any additional that come up.
The on line buying such as e-bay enables you to "set your price" and quit if you feel it's to high. It took me 3 times to get this copy and it was alot of fun also.

The Office just gets better as the series grow old. This third season in special, cannot be compared to the first two ones in terms of brilliance. Starting with the kiss scene between Michael (Steve Carell) and Oscar (Oscar Nunez)in the season opener "Gay Witch Hunt" episode - the funniest moment I've seen lately on a comedy show - anyone could imagine what would come next. And what comes next is definitely worth it.

Although every episode of a comedy show does not necessarily have to be connected with previous episodes (this is not a soap), some things about the characters can only be understood if you paid careful attention to passages over the first two seasons. So if you are considering to follow the show from now on, the purchase of the first two seasons is recommended. After all, not only you will understand better some things but also, laugh a lot more.

I missed a handful of the shows from the 3rd season and BOY AM I GLAD I GOT THIS DVD SET! Awesome! The show is the most hilarious thing on TV. Anyone who has ever worked the "Land of the Cubicles" can relate to this show. You can find this DVD set for less than $24 used with shipping and less than $31 with shipping new.

This is one of our sons favorite TV shows, and he ask for some of the back seasons for Christmas. Ebay is a great place to find wonderful deals.

I got the Dvd real fast after I won it. The Dvd looks real good. I would tell anyone to buy from this person as I would again. Thanks!!!

I love the Office. It was BRAND NEW and in perfect condition. The seller was very good and fast at communicating and trustworthy. Would do business with again!

i think this is the funnest season the office has ever made. once you watch one episode you cant turn the tv off untill you watch them all.

I started watching THE OFFICE just recently. I went to visit my daughter in NC and she had all of the seasons on DVD. I stayed a week with her and we ended up watching every single episode while I was there. I have never laughed so hard in my whole life!!! I loved these so much I came home and bought every one of the seasons on EBAY. My daughter got me Season 5 for my birthday so I am all caught up and now watching it every Thursday night! Can't wait to see Jim and Pam's wedding this coming Thursday!!!!!!!!!

I am a huge fan of The Office, and it was important to have the entire season brand new. I was able to buy this one, which hadn't even been opened, so it worked out perfectly.

it was a really fast delivery and a reasonable shipping price. i was very satisfied with my transaction and i hope i can buy from you again. thank you!!

the disk holder was broken so the disk was out of its spot and scratched. poor shipping protection for the disk.

This product was listed as brand new but there is no way that was true. One of the discs was scratched in a crucial spot, so there is no way they were brand new. I am terribly disapointed.

products in great shape exactly what i expected quick and efficient processing couldn't have expected anything better!
