Visible improvement of the show was key. Season 2 didn't only excel where season 1 failed, but it offered key storyline elements that help shape the office today. Season 2 is one of the best seasons.

Season two was a huge improvement over the first (duh) and deserved the awards. The Jim and Pam story was so sweet and charming, Michael Scott was finally toned down, and the humor decided to "go there" without "being there". The whole cast is a delight to watch, the lines are quotably laugh-out-loud, and it's nice that the awards followed it.

Now this is television comedy at its finest. The second season of "The Office" is a bit of a marvel, in that its two major elements that draw people in are so undeniably conflicting.

On the other hand, you've got a cute, tender little blossoming love story. Surprisingly, those two things go together like peanut-butter and jelly.

The Office is awesome. One of the greatest shows ever. It is always so hilarious. The cast is amazing and have such good chemistry. Steve Carell is crazy funny and makes a perfect Michael Scott.
