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

 A dream TV comedy show! December 1, 2008
M. D. Fonseca (Thunder)
.No fake laugh tracks;
.Clever writing;
.Endless humour;
.A lot of location shooting;
.Steve Carell at the top of his game;
.Great supporting characters;
.Coherent character development and plot lines.
This is a dream come true: a TV show with comedy, heart and intelligence at the same time. I watched all the episodes in three days, a thing I never did before with any TV show. The 20-22 minutes goes by so fast, so great this show is. Not a single wasted moment. A real gem.
Love it.. but rip off? October 31, 2008

I love The Office. I recommend it to anyone. My only problem with this product is that it is almost as expensive or as expensive as season 2 but has only about half the episodes. The writers strike cut off the season early and so they didnt make as many episodes in the season. They were sneaky and put 4 cds in the case just like season 2, but if you notice there are less episodes per disc. In my opinion it should be a discounted rate.
Still going strong October 29, 2008

Season 3 doesn't disappoint. I'm about halfway through the set now, laughing so hard I'm crying all the way.
 Waste of time. Never laughed out loud. Characters unexplainably changed character. Pam turned evil. September 17, 2008

In this season, Michael seems more serious, and even more mature. Not sure what the turning point was for him. When did he become normal?
I used to LIKE Pam. She was so endearing. Then, after Pam blows Jim off twice when Jim works up the courage to tell her his true feelings on her wedding day (for the sake of suspending the plot, no doubt), after three years of reticence on her part, when it would have taken no courage to tell HIM her feelings, since he was the single one; after blowing him off TWICE, she breaks up with Roy, then Jim returns happy with Karen (carbon copy of Pam, personality-wise), Pam gets back together with Roy, then a few days later dumps Roy, then finally sabotages Jim's happy relationship with Karen. Pam turned out to be a bitch, and whichever screenwriter did that should be fired.
So Pam is either more erratic than Jan (who, btw, was in this season embarrassingly unstable and clingy and unprofessional...did some writer mix up the characters?). Or Pam is just as mature as a 15 year old school girl. She turns Jim away when he opens up and makes himself vulnerable beneath the stars at night; THEN she sabotages his relationship with Karen and his promotion, just because she can (or because, again, she's actually a 15 year old schoolgirl who can't stand to see a guy she's attracted to be happy with another girl).
the office - season 3 is the best season ad the funniest,reat laugh! August 10, 2008
