Editor's Note
THE OFFICE portrays the everyday lives of the employees at the Dunder Mifflin paper company in Pennsylvania. In season three, imbecilic boss Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) manages to further offend and alienate his co-workers. Jim (John Krasinski) transfers to another branch after he believes Pam (Jenna Fischer) will still go ahead with her wedding to Roy. The third season also features "The Convict," an episode penned by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the minds behind the original British show.

 | The Office: Season 3 - DVD Review By: Ed Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/9/2007 9:57 PM | | Carell's Michael Scott is the same insensitive, unaware, unfunny boss who considers himself God's gift to, well, everything. In addition to the usual workplace issues, Michael ends up in two relationships. First with his real estate agent Carol (Carell's wife Nancy Walls) and later a reprise of his fling with boss Jan (Melora Hardin), although this time it sticks. Michael's ineptness in forming and breaking up relationships adds another layer to areas where he can humiliate himself and others for our benefit. ...read the full review |

"In the history of the workplace sitcom, never have the professional stakes been lower....But the personal stakes for our OFFICE drones couldn't have been higher in season 3....A quick-witted comedy..." -- Grade: A- 09/07/2007 65Ultimate DVD
5 stars out of 5 -- "[S]uperb....With more depth, more comedy....This is the best season yet." 10/01/2007 p.113 Reel.com 9 of 10
Seinfeld was touted as "a show about nothing," but the TV situation comedy that actually fulfills that promise is the excellent American version of The Office, with episodes built around truly mundane office scenarios...The premise is meant to be as dull as possible: a paper distribution company populated by resigned, worn-down long-term employees and I'm-outta-here short-timers...It's a blank slate, in other words, in which the actors can work their characters, and this great cast knows just what to do...Ricky Gervais, who conceived and starred in the original BBC version of The Office, was so funny in the British version that fans of that series were naturally skeptical about the effort to bring the project across the pond with an all-American cast. But the NBC version works very well, in large part because of Carrel, who is not imitating Gervais' character, but doing something all his own. - Ken Dubois
