Season Details & Credits

NBC | Season Premiere Date: September 20, 2005

Starring: Steve Carell, Melora Hardin, Rainn Wilson

Summary: Based on the popular British series of the same name, this faster-paced American version follows the daily interactions of a group of idiosyncratic office employees at paper company Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch via a documentary film crew's cameras.

Regional manager Michael (Steve Carell) thinks he's the coolest, funniest, best bossBased on the popular British series of the same name, this faster-paced American version follows the daily interactions of a group of idiosyncratic office employees at paper company Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch via a documentary film crew's cameras.

Regional manager Michael (Steve Carell) thinks he's the coolest, funniest, best boss ever - which, of course, makes him the uncoolest, most obnoxious and annoying boss as far as his staff are concerned. Salesman Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) has always loved receptionist Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and loves sabotaging his cube-mate, the know-it-all Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson). Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak) started as a young, smart, self-possessed temp, but quickly figured out the real office politics despite Michael's attempts to instill the official point-of-view, and gets himself a job at corporate HQ in New York.

The staff is rounded out by quiet Phyllis Lapin Vance (Phyllis Smith), beaten down by the working life Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker), office alcoholic Meredith Palmer (Kate Flannery), up-tight Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey), formerly closeted homosexual Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez), stocky and uncouth Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner), ambivalent kleptomaniac Creed Bratton (Creed Bratton), Sad Sack HR rep Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein), persistently love-struck Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling), icy corporate manager turned Michael's girlfriend Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin), former Stamford branch denizen and Cornell graduate Andy Bernard (Ed Helms), warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin (Craig Robinson), and Pam's ex-fiancé Roy Anderson (David Denman).… Expand

Season 2, is in my opinion, the best season of the show. Many of the show's best episodes like "The Dundies" and "Casino Night" came from season 2. That's just two of them!

Season 2 is where it really hits its stride. The characters start to take shape and become more independent from the British show.

Another cracking season from the US crew, particularly Carell and Krasinski. Novak has his moments, too. The writing is not as strong as the first short season, but there are still plenty of laughs.

"The Office: Season 2" is a significant improvement over the pilot season. The season is warmer and sweeter than every other (U.S. & U.K.) season that precedes it, and that helps make the tone lighter and the jokes funnier.

Season 2 was an absolute blast to watch. From start to finish, Michael Scott (Steve Carell) has you on the floor laughing. In my review of Season 1, I said that if the rest of the show follows through like the BBC version did, then it will turn to be one of the most legendary comedies to ever air on TV, and that is exactly what Season 2 did. Highly recommend seeing it.… Expand
