Product Description Scranton’s most outrageous workforce is back to give their clients the business in the fifth hilarious season of The Office. Join obnoxious regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell) and his fellow paper pushers Dwight (Rainn Wilson), Jim (John Krasinski), Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Ryan (B.J. Novak) as they steal customers, frame co-workers, indulge in intra-office love affairs and just plain behave badly while a documentary film crew captures their every word and misdeed. Developed for American television by Primetime Emmy® Award-winner Greg Daniels, The Office: Season Five features 26 uproarious episodes – including two one-hour specials, exclusive commentaries, webisodes, deleted scenes and more in a sidesplitting five-disc collection no true fan of The Office can afford to miss! desertcart.com Season Five is not just another day at The Office, delivering break-ups, corporate shake-ups, and a game-changing finale that, as with Jim (John Krasinski), should leave you ecstatic and speechless. The writers continue their masterful handling of the Jim and Pam (Jenna Fischer) romance, taking care of some unfinished business from last season's finale in the season opener with a glorious rain-swept gas station proposal. Their initial separation--while she attends art school in New York--avoids the usual sitcom mechanics ("We are not that couple," Jim states as he aborts a panicked trip to see her). The course of true love is no smoother for The Office's other soul mates, Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) and "major dork" Holly Flax (an Emmy-worthy Amy Ryan), the new HR rep. Meanwhile, Angela (Angela Kinsey) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) are having office trysts under the nose of her fiancé, Andy (Hangover star Ed Helms, having a breakout season in a career year). On the corporate front, Michael shockingly quits after butting heads with no-nonsense new boss Charles Miner (Idris Elba). In a brilliant stroke, Jim immediately gets on Charles's bad side, much to Dwight's delight. The formation of The Michael Scott Paper Company is a highlight of the season, as Michael and his dream team, Pam and Ryan (B.J. Novak), improbably put a major dent in Dunder Mifflin's sales (but at what cost?). For everyone who wonders how the blundering and tactless Michael keeps his job, it is instructive to get a glimpse of his sales acumen in the episodes "Heavy Competition," in which Michael poaches one of Dwight's clients, and "Broke," in which he negotiates a buyout of his struggling company. The Office's own dream team got dreamier with the addition of Ellie Kemper as "Erin," the adorable and naïve new receptionist. The Office still makes for cringe-worthy discomfort television (see a reunited Michael and Holly's excruciating skit at the "Company Picnic" in the season finale), but some of the best episodes are the ones in which the Scranton branch bonds in the face of adversity. A season benchmark is the episode in which the former Michael Scott Paper Company office space is transformed into "Café Disco" and all squabbles and resentments are forgotten on the dance floor. This season is representative of why The Office is one of television's most DVR'd series. Each episode offers priceless bits of background comic business and charming character grace notes that lend themselves to repeated viewing. Among them: Andy's drunken late night phone call to Angela in "Company Trip"; Pam demonstrating her volleyball prowess in "Company Picnic"; Kelly (Mindy Kaling) setting up one of the series' very best "that's what she saids" in "Customer Survey"; and Andy and Kelly's "dance off" in "Café Disco." As Dwight notes in "Heavy Competition," "There's a lot going on" in The Office, and in that chaos, this series soars. --Donald Liebenson Review: Five Stars - Perfect! Best series that ever was!

oh god! i can't stop laughing!
this is the one show that just keeps getting funnier and funnier as each season progresses! every episode offers a barrel of laughs! Only problem is that i don't like the commentary's. a few of them are good, but most of them are by people such as caterers and others. I love the commentary's that involve the actors, they just have so much fun!

Still a great show
While it is possibly true that The Office will never again reach the heights of excellence seen in seasons two and three, it remains the best sitcom on television. In the entire run of the series there is only one instance where a joke was so bad it had me thinking, "What the hell were they thinking?!" That being the season four episode in which Michael drove into a pond because his GPS told him to take the next right. I'll always respect the producers for actually allowing the characters' lives some progression. Especially in the case of Pam and Jim. Hollywood just loves jamming never ending "will they, won't they" stories down out throats. How nice to see characters in a sitcom acting like real human beings. I'm looking forward to revisiting these episodes prior to the season six premier on 9/17/09. Special features are said to include: Commentary for 10 episodes, Gag reel, over three hours of deleted scenes, Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presents The Office, The Office promos, four webisodes, One-Liner Soundboard-- a BD Exclusive which allows the user to string together one-liners and quotes from the show to create your own character audio mix that you can share with others via BD-Live.

Not a set-back at all
I don't think this season was a step-back at all. They actually progressed the storyline quite a bit during the 5th season and introduced one character, in particular, who is awesome and needs to be incorporated in the 6th season as well. It was as funny as ever! I hope this show isn't even half way done!

The Office....
If you don't own the set of the office series... its about time you do... This show is my number one! I could watch the whole set and when the last episode is over, put season one back in. This show never gets old. Recommend!

Some actors with terrible talents; not Dwight; I mean Jim.
Another season of boredom and misery! Nothing changes. Miserable characters continue their miserable lives. I must say, Jim Halpert's character is terrible. And the fact that the tv show is trying to show him as kind and nice, it is mind blowing. And Jim's actor is terrible in his job. Zero talent.

Still a fantastic series after all these years! It's great going back and re-visiting these episodes. This show is always good for a laugh....or 10. Definitely pick this up

Compre esta versión por lo económico pero el empaque no es muy bueno puesto que no es el original de las series es una versión económica para latinoamerica al final lo que vale son los discos y poder disfrutar de esta serie.

Ca me fait penser aux Monty Python par bien des côtés. Une entreprise improbable, des personnages hauts en couleurs et sans nuances, un humour absurde qui pourrait être anglais, et des acteurs très bons dans leurs rôles. Une série sans prétention, sans doute passée relativement inaperçue chez nous, mais qui vaut bien largement la "télé-réalité" à la française, vide de tout ce que l'on peut attendre de ce vecteur culturel qu'est la télévision (ou qu'elle devrait être).

As always good experience, good product good seller, no worries!

Cette Note parce que les DVD sont neuf et la série est Génial, inefficacité de l'achat est parfait. La série est parfaite, l'emballage est adéquate, pas de mauvaise surprise. Idéal pour passé une bonne soirée devant sa télévision.
