This is a dream come true: a TV show with comedy, heart and intelligence at the same time. I watched all the episodes in three days, a thing I never did before with any TV show. The 20-22 minutes goes by so fast, so great this show is. Not a single wasted moment. A real gem.

I love The Office. I recommend it to anyone. My only problem with this product is that it is almost as expensive or as expensive as season 2 but has only about half the episodes. The writers strike cut off the season early and so they didnt make as many episodes in the season. They were sneaky and put 4 cds in the case just like season 2, but if you notice there are less episodes per disc. In my opinion it should be a discounted rate.

Season 3 doesn't disappoint. I'm about halfway through the set now, laughing so hard I'm crying all the way.

In this season, Michael seems more serious, and even more mature. Not sure what the turning point was for him. When did he become normal?



I used to LIKE Pam. She was so endearing. Then, after Pam blows Jim off twice when Jim works up the courage to tell her his true feelings on her wedding day (for the sake of suspending the plot, no doubt), after three years of reticence on her part, when it would have taken no courage to tell HIM her feelings, since he was the single one; after blowing him off TWICE, she breaks up with Roy, then Jim returns happy with Karen (carbon copy of Pam, personality-wise), Pam gets back together with Roy, then a few days later dumps Roy, then finally sabotages Jim's happy relationship with Karen. Pam turned out to be a bitch, and whichever screenwriter did that should be fired.



So Pam is either more erratic than Jan (who, btw, was in this season embarrassingly unstable and clingy and unprofessional...did some writer mix up the characters?). Or Pam is just as mature as a 15 year old school girl. She turns Jim away when he opens up and makes himself vulnerable beneath the stars at night; THEN she sabotages his relationship with Karen and his promotion, just because she can (or because, again, she's actually a 15 year old schoolgirl who can't stand to see a guy she's attracted to be happy with another girl).

i had a blast watching the 3rd season of the OFFICE.

it's the best season by far and the cast are simply top notch!!!
