The Office: Season 2

The Office season 2 is good. The Office season 2 is great. The Office season 2 could quite possibly be one of my favorite TV series of all time! After a first season that very much resembled it's British counterpart, the second season of the US-based office really develops it's own style and humor and yet remains true to the classic. Over-bearing and hilariously awkward Michael Scott (aka Steve Carrell) teams up with the highly paranoid and troubled Dwight Schrutt (Rainn Wilson) to provide countless laughs in a perhaps all-too-familiar office setting. With such classic moments as a karate face-off for office supremecy between Dwight and Michael in Dwight's dojo, these two will have you in tears. Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinsky) also carry the show well as the story shifts from their budding romance and their relentless torment of Dwight's character - running jokes that really never get old. Some of the other cast including Ryan (B.J. Novak) and Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) are often found observing and commenting on these antics or serve to highlight the absurdity of Steve Carell's character. A great cast.

For those of you who may have already watched the season, the DVD comes with deleted scenes that are worth the price alone. If you haven't already seen this program, you shouldn't miss out. If anything, this program provides some much needed catharsis after a long day at the office.
