The Office: Season Six

The End of Dunder Mifflin
For several years, The Office was easily the funniest and best written comedy on television. Its hard to pinpoint which season is the pinnacle of the series, it may be a tie between seasons 2, 3, 4, and 5. Every one of them is tremendous. Considering season one was barely half of a season, The Office was still fairly young heading into its 6th year, so it was reasonable for fans to expect the same level of high quality comedy we'd been enjoying since the show's inception. Tragically this isn't exactly the case with #6. The season begins with a very promising start that maintains both the energy and the quality of the previous seasons. In fact the entire first half of the season is, for the most part, very well done... but eventually season six dissolves into a mix of mediocre and sometimes, painfully bad episodes (the finale being one of the worst eps in series history).

The biggest problem of season 6 is the massive story arcs. Now, multiple episode storylines have always...

No Halloween open?
I just want to express how ripped off I feel that after buying the entire season 6 of The Office the Halloween open is missing from the episode Koi Pond. I hope that NBC and the creators/actors of The Office read this and realize how they are making their fans feel ripped off. If they were going to remove it from the episode, they should have included it in the deleted scenes. To make matters worse they included a still pic on the menu of Disc 2 just to remind us what we're missing. I tried to see if maybe it was hidden as an Easter Egg but have had no luck. Perhaps if everyone expressed how disappointed they were, Universal will create replacement discs. We are paying for the ENTIRE season of The Office including DELETED and BONUS material. I hate it when organizations complain and get "offended" by things thereby making it impossible for everyone else in the world to enjoy it. I don't care if the American Society for Suicide Prevention was offended by a FICTIONAL character...

Why You Shouldn't Buy This (even if it's still hilarious)
This is another solid season of the The Office, full of great humor. That being said, there's a big reason to save your money here.

NBC decided to cut the cold open from the episode "Koi Pond" for no clear reason. The opening, the halloween haunted warehouse, was probably the funniest of the season. Yet for whatever reason it has been removed from the episode on the disc - even though a clip from halloween is shown on the menu disc. You can actually still stream it the opening in question right on the NBC website. Whether it's backwards censorship or an oversight in the product creation, it's a BIG problem.

Don't buy this - if sales are down for the 6th season dvd/blu ray then maybe they'll include it down the road for a purchase that's actually worth paying for.
