After a shaky first season of finding its footing, and a second season of establishing itself as one of the funniest shows on TV, the third season of The Office finds the show in its strongest form yet, thanks in large part to the addition of some new characters and stronger plotlines centered on office romances. A corporate merger brings the Stamford staff to the Scranton office of Dunder-Mifflin a quarter of the way through the season giving a nice boost to the season's arc of story lines, especially the addition of Andy (Ed Helms, another Daily Show alum in a role that seems custom made for him) who serves as yet another foil to Dwight (Rainn Wilson) in his unending fight for Michael's approval. As the season begins, the focus is more on Michael (Steve Carell) and his unique "leadership" style in the Scranton office. "A good boss gruntles the disgruntled," and despite his best intentions, he proceeds to somehow screw it up, as in the opening episode, "Gay Witch Hunt," in which he accidentally outs a gay employee. In the second episode, "The Convention," Michael tries to get the party started at the Mid-Market Office Supply Convention ("fun jeans"), and ends up revealing his insecurity about Jim's (John Krasinski) decision to move to Stamford. It leads up to "The Coup," where Dwight meets with Michael's Boss Jan (Melora Hardin) in a misguided attempt to take control of the office. The merger of the two offices into the Scranton location provides the fuel needed to continue the Jim and Pam (Jenna Fischer) subplot as Jim returns with his new girlfriend, Karen (Rashida Jones) who also transferred, and with Pam no longer engaged to Roy, the tension among them increases significantly. Other major plot points this season include: Dwight shows his true feelings for Angela in an excellent climax to one of the funniest subplots on the show; Michael negotiates a raise after learning he barely makes more than his subordinates; new office suck-up Andy is forced into anger management classes; and finally, in what may be the most bizarre company retreat in history, a day at the beach ends with Pam revealing her true feelings for Jim in front of the entire office. The season wraps up in unpredictable fashion when Karen, Michael, and Jim all travel to headquarters to interview for the same position. The strength of this season just continues to solidify The Office's place as the preeminent satire of today's cubicle culture. --Daniel Vancini

Best season so far! July 6, 2008
I received this as a gift after catching reruns of the office on TBS. Not watching the episodes sequentially I never really had a clear sense of what "season" I was in. I was pleasantly suprised when watching all the episodes that just about every one of my favorites so far were on this collection. A truly excellent run, and some exceelent commentary on episodes to boot. A must have for any fan of The Office!
The Year The Show Came Into Its Own July 6, 2008
This is quite possible the best season of the American Office. It finally sets it self apart from its British counterpart, gets incredibly hilarious, and almost unstopping-ly cringe-worthy. Not to mention the occasional beautiful moment between Pam and Jim that truly makes it one of the best comedies on NBC right now- hell, on TV right now.
Best Comedy Series... Of All Time? June 30, 2008
As I said in my review for the second season, this is the best comedy on air. However, I have to amend that. The US version of "The Office" may very well be the best comedy series of all time.
That's a bold statement, yeah, but it doesn't make it any less true. Never before have I seen a comedy that really goes to the most ludicrous, ridiculous places and still manages to keep the integrity of the characters, creating a multi-layered story that can mean so many different things at once. Many times during this season, I found myself unsure whether to laugh, cry for, or just be insanely proud of these characters. From Dwight's pepper spray incident, to the Andy stuff, to the Pam/Jim/Karen triangle, to everything Michael did or said, this season was just so full of hilarious moments that, while they're still as gut bustingly funny as anything from the first season, really strive to move the audience by showing the humanity of these characters. After the supreme climax of Season Two's finale ("Casino Night") in which Pam and Jim finally kissed, this season could have been a let down in so many ways... but both the writers and the cast rose to the occasion, creating the best season they've turned in so far.
Not only is this season the best story and character-wise, it also has some major "perks." This season has more double-length episodes than we've seen before, and also has some really cool guest directors taking the reigns. Joss Whedon and J. J. Abrams are some examples. Also, there are some great new additions to the cast that really spice things up. All in all, it's another outstanding season that continues to set "The Office" apart from every other sitcom out there.
9/10
Hilarious! June 25, 2008
The funniest show on television! If you don't watch "The Office" yet, start now. Really, it is the funniest show around. You cannot lose.
Great Show June 24, 2008
I started watching this show around Christmas time and have been addicted. It's a great show, good comedy, a little over the top at points, but very funny.
