Clock in to The Office, for even more inappropriate remarks, uncomfortable silences, and petty behavior in the complete fourth season of the Primetime Emmy Award-winning series!

Trusty and loyal assistant-to-the-regional manager Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) continues to uphold the office honor as Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) find ways to sabotage him and encourage Michael's hysterics. Plus, see wonder kid Ryan (B.J. Novak) in his new role at corporate as he pushes the 'infinite' limits of Dunder-Mifflin, often pushing Michael to his limits as well. This 4-disc collection contains all 14 hilarious Season Four episodes, including five that are double length, and tons of smack talkin' bonus features! You'll want to stay late at The Office to relive every entertaining episode of this must-see, must-own TV show that demands to be watched again and again.

Editor's Note
In the hilarious and cringe-worthy fourth season of THE OFFICE, Ryan "The Temp" Howard (B.J. Novak) moves up to the Dunder Mifflin corporate headquarters, sweethearts Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinski) go public with their long-awaited romantic relationship, and Dwight (Rainn Wilson), salesman geek extraordinaire, bristles as his ex-girlfriend, Angela (Angela Martin), is wooed away by the obnoxious Andy (Ed Helms). Of course, overseeing it all is self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Boss," Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell with a terrific obliviousness that rings painfully true to cubicle dwellers everywhere. Fresh from an Emmy win for Outstanding Comedy Series, the 2007-08 season of the workplace mockumentary delves even further into the tedium of daily office life, including the company's struggle to enter the "digital age," the production of a local TV commercial, and the constant threat of a bored-employee insurrection. This volume also follows Michael's out-of-control relationship with the increasingly unstable Jan (Melora Hardin), culminating in a bitterly hysterical dinner party that many in the office are forced to endure.

5 stars out of 5 -- "It's the moments of vulnerability that lend Michael a depth of character....This fourth year looks set to showcase both the big laughs and the dramatic pathos that define its success." 05/01/2008 p.128 |
