Entertainment WeeklyMeeta Agrawal

For such a quick-witted comedy, the eight episode commentaries aren't as sharp as you'd expect, and Carell is entirely absent. But some three hours of deleted scenes--funnier takes of already hilarious sequences, beefed-up stories for the supporting cast--compensate.

IGNTravis Fickett and Christopher Monfette

The Office: Season Three offers what may be its best season yet on a DVD collection truly worthy of a place in the forefront of your collection. Well-presented and rich in worthwhile extras, this is one DVD not to miss.

The engaging, honest commentary is just what a DVD set should provide, and once again The Office extras don't disappoint.

TV GuideStaff (Not Credited)

It's clear that the editors have plenty to choose from for each 30-minute episode, judging by the plethora of deleted scenes included in this four-disc set. Other highlights include bloopers (yay!) and Michael and Dwight's rap-inspired "Lazy Scranton" video.

This set is another great one from Universal - well deserving of my "pick of the week" for September 4. The commentary tracks are good, the deleted scenes are awesome, and while some of the other material is a hodge-podge of stuff, I'm glad it's on the set.

Leigh W gave it a10:
The Office is probably one of best comedies on American television today. Unfortunately the writing quality in the most recent seasons has declined compared to the second and third seasons, but the incredible actors are still holding the show together. You know that the acting is good when you can't tell what's improv and what's written. With Michaels antics, Jim and Pam's love life and Dwight's constant struggle for power, The Office is an easy show to relate to and love.

Jon H. gave it a10:
A very funny show, best thing on TV, Dwight FTW

Matt R gave it a2:
I went into this show with an open mind, thinking it would be a good comedy, and most sadly it was very disappointing. The dialogue was horribly written, however well well-acted it may have been. The actors have a lot of talent and I'm disappointed they would stoop to doing a show that's the equivalent of a teenager's take on life. The humor - or shall I say - attempt on it, was completely immature, and if you like that in comedy, that's fine, but humor based on the debauchery of human character, especially when the writers portrayed the characters in such an incredulous manner, has no tact. This show took the tenure away from the British version, and ruined it. Whatever happed to comedy with wit? It is in no way present during this show.

Steven B. gave it a10:
The Office has to be the best comedy on television today. And it's not just the slapstick comedy that requires a minimal amount of brain cells. It's the kind of comedy that makes you realize that there are actually people on this earth that are so oblivious to how everything works.

Anoynomous gave it a10:
I think this show is hilarious, but at the same time amazingly witty and entertaining with A LOT of romance all at the same time These writers are geniuses! This show is up there with my facorite TV shows, witch include 30 Rock and Arrested Development.

linc link gave it a10:
Along with "The Simpsons", "30 Rock", and "Pushing Daisies", this is one of the few shows I actually watch. It is still cranking out high quality work. And while I did, and do, love the original British version (I've seen every episode) I actually think the U.S. version is better in every way possible!!!

Steve D. gave it a3:
For me, this show started going pale around the episode "Beach Day." It's literally like the writers tragically either lost their minds or lost their health, neither would suprise me. Perhaps B.J. completely forgot how to be realistic which, in turn, will add much to humor. From episode S03.E23-S04--, I felt nothing but uncomfort for their attempted punchlines and honestly wanted to ask the writers what the fuc* they are doing. Every new episode I hoped it would return to the plot and humor of earlier episodes but it still hasn't come. The wasted talent, especially from Carell is unacceptable, and it's all due to cheesy plots
