The Office: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]

The Office was, especially during the Steve Carell years, one of the best sitcoms to ever air. Chances are most people looking to get this already know what the series is like so I will not spend a ton of time reviewing the show itself. In a nutshell, it is a sitcom that follows the day-to-day operations of the Scranton PA office of the Dunder-Mifflin paper company headed by Michael Scott (Carell), the manager of the Scranton branch. It is a Mockumentary in which the various characters are "interviewed" although we never see an interviewer, so they are essentially just talking to a camera. It is a very character-driven show and the plots were a mix of self-contained stories and then arcs, usually dealing with various character relationships. It ran for nine seasons (although season one was very short, just six episodes) and was adapted from a British show of the same name that starred Ricky Gervais and Martin Freeman. The first season mirrors the BBC version sometimes slightly and sometimes a lot, and then after that really becomes its own thing. This DVD set is just the individual season sets packaged together. So, if you purchased the seasons separately you are not getting anything different aside from a box to hold all the individual season cases. All of the extras (and there are a lot of them) are exactly the same, and nothing (at least in the DVD version) was added. I cannot say what they did with the Blu-Ray complete series set, although from what I have read it has the same extras as the DVD set. The extras include audio commentaries on many of the episodes which rotate various members of the cast. There are many commentary tracks in the early seasons and fewer as the seasons go on. Then there are a ton of deleted scenes (the best of which involve Creed and "Schrute Bucks", blooper reels, webisodes, promo material, and more. Basically, if you love watching bonus content, there are hours worth (apart from the commentary tracks) to keep you busy. Overall, the series is very good. Like many shows that last nine seasons, it was not as good at the end as it was in the beginning, especially after Steve Carell left. It had a large ensemble cast that included Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, Mindy Kaling, John Krasinski (who, other than Carell, has probably had the biggest post-office career), and Craig Robinson. There are also a ton of very recognizable comedy actors and actresses that appeared in the series in both large and small roles. The show definitely lives up to the hype, and even though the last couple of seasons are not as good as the early seasons, they are not as bad as some people make them out to be. So, if you are a fan of the show, this is a great pickup.

When I watched The Office for the very first time in the summer of 2016 I was immediately hooked. While I was bringing the series, I went on a trip to LA and I remember one of the reasons I couldn't wait to get back home was so that I could continue watching it! Like most, I was saddened to hear it was being taken off of Netflix (even though Netflix fought to keep "Friends", a far inferior sitcom, but I digress... Lol) so, I knew it was far past time to finally add it to my growing Blu-ray collection. Conveniently, this box set was just released not too long ago! So I didn't hesitate to purchase it (especially since it might be In high demand due to the show being taken off of Netflix) It arrived quickly and I was not disappointed! This is all a superfan of The Office could ever ask for! ALL the episodes in glorious HD, along with extended episodes, episode commentaries, deleted scenes, bloopers, webisodes, original cast audition tapes, a Dwight Schrute music video(?!) and much more!! Beyond just the crazy amount of content that's included, I love the packaging and how each individual Blu-ray is unique and detailed, with descriptions and fun little Office related imagery to go along with them! I also appreciate them listing what's exactly on each disc on the insides of the covers. Each case contains 4 discs. Except Season 1 that only contains 1 disc, and Season 8 which contains a whopping 5 discs! And as you can see from the images attached, mine arrived in near perfect condition! The only noticable damage is that little arrow that snapped off at some point, but it's not a big deal because I can still secure that disc to the case. In conclusion: I absolutely love this Blu-ray set, and if you're a superfan of The Office like me, I know you will, too! If you know you'll continue to watch through this show several times in your life, buy this! You won't regret it, I promise.

I didn't watch The Office when it was on television because I just hate keeping up with a show week to week and then deal with commercials. After several recommendations from friends, I decided to buy the blu-ray on a blind buy. I began with the first episode and was hooked! The Office is so great and super funny! Where this bluray shines, it's all the special features. There are so many essential deleted scenes that must have been cut for time, but you should really check out. Some of them are really lengthy and fill in some gaps. There are so many more special features too! The picture is perfect, sound is great, and to have no break in comedy makes all the difference. The Office is a mandatory buy for any Office fan or who like comedy that doesn't tip-toe around issues and is just Funny!

Fantastic series and excellent DVD collection for a great price! Lots of bonus features with commentaries on all but the last two years. It would have been great to have perspectives on the last episode; for example, because the table read bonus segment for that episode was NOT what they eventually broadcast, I would have liked to know how they sprang the major character change at the wedding (I won't give it away) on the rest of the cast and how it was received. Almost every episode has a "deleted scenes" bonus as well as lots of other goodies. I agree with other reviewers that the last two years were not as good without Michael Scott, and I personally found Andy and Ryan extremely annoying as the series went on, but I realize it must be great acting for me to dislike their characters. Some of the Dwight going out of control episodes were over the top and, I feel, dragged on too long (like the fake radio interview routine). But even given all that, I still enjoyed it very much and was quite sad at the last episode. Now if I can only get Hunter's song out of my head!

I bought the complete series on Blu-ray because I wanted a reliable, easy going option to unwind after work. I like having a long run ready on my shelf, so I can pick up where I left off without hunting for episodes or checking streaming availability. Using it in daily life is simple. I pop in a disc, and the menus are straightforward to navigate. The set is organized by season, so jumping to a favorite moment or a new episode is not a chore, and I can keep a steady watching pace without interruptions. What stood out was how well the humor holds up and how easy it is to fall back into the vibe. The characters feel familiar, and the writing still has that quick pace that makes me smile. The physical discs and packaging feel solid, and labeling is clear enough that I rarely waste time hunting for the right episode.

This is just the best show of all time. Perhaps I'm a bit biased because it holds a special place in my heart due to the fact that I started watching the show in 8th grade and all through college, and it was always a big weekly viewing party event with my friends. So there's always a huge sense of nostalgia and good memories in that regard when I watch the show. But the show itself is just hilarious, heart-warming, and always makes my wife and I laugh no matter how many times we've watched. Another great part about the show is there's always new things you pick up on when re-watching - small jokes or things in the backgrounds of shots or references that I didn't pick up on before. I couldn't recommend this show enough. This DVD set is great because it includes bloopers and deleted scenes, and I love the bloopers almost as much as the shots that made it into the actual show (and makes the shots that made it into the show that much more funny).

So far the discs are fine. If you're an Amy Adams fan, be advised, the first episode with her, Hot Girl, is not here. Weird, it's just not there. Will update if there are any more issues.

I was very skeptical about buying The Office DVD’s and after seeing some bad reviews about the packing being a little damaged or missing DVD’s. But I highly recommend looking past all that. (You can always return your item to Amazon UNUSED if you receive it damaged) so I went ahead and bought the blue ray just so I’d have good quality on big screen. Everything came the same day I ordered it perfectly intact. Not one flaw. Okay the only thing is season one is bent at the bottom a little. But you can’t see unless your analyzing the case for season one. ((5stars hands down worth the 15 hours of bonus footage that’s never been aired plus all 9 seasons!))

Dans mon top 3 de séries mais le packaging est décevant à ce niveau juste une tour de CD empilés les uns sur les autres comme pour les CD vierge que l'on grave pas top pour les garder en bon état.

Il pacco viene consegnato con una montagna di cd-dvd uno sopra l'altro, il problema maggiore è che non ci sono i sottotitoli in inglese, solo in francese, anche se sulla scatola e nella descrizione vi è scritto il contrario.

Die Box, 9 Staffeln/ 38 DVDs, kam pünktlich an und war in einem top Zustand, würde ich immer wieder kaufen. Mit dem VLC Media Player habe ich keine Probleme die DVDs auf dem Laptop abzuspielen.

Mi reseña se basa en tres aspectos que me aseguraron una compra excelente: Precio: Compré la serie en la rebaja que hubo hace poco con un poco de temor por el precio tan bajo, pero terminó saliendo excelente. Los DVDs son completamente nuevos. Envío: La serie me llegó sellada y perfectamente protegida. El envío fue tal y como se habia estimado. Excelente logística de Amazon. La serie: Una de las mejores comedias de la historia, especialmente en las actuaciones y en los guiones. Es simplemente maravillosa, no importa cuántas veces la veas, siempre te saca una carcajada.

Je suis entièrement satisfaite de mon achat. Toutes les saisons sont en français. J ai lu des commentaires un peu mitigés quand au coffret. Il est compact, c est vrai, mais il prend peu de place. Moi je le trouve très bien. Merci Amazon d avoir contribué à mon Cadeau de Noël.
