The Office: Season 1-7

BEARS. BEETS. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
I have been a huge fan of THE OFFICE ever since its first season. And, up to and including the very last episode, I am glad I did. The Series was original in its premise and execution, the pseudo-documentary format opening up numerous previously little explored avenues of storytelling. And it was great fun to watch.

I'm really enjoying this. It was in great shape when I got it at a good price. The dealer was very helpful

I love, love the Office. "That's what she said". This DVD set is perfect. All the DVDs were great quality with no issues. The packaging was good. Enjoyed the extras very much. I laughed so hard at the bloopers too. Many ,many happy moments watching the Office from the beginning.

Jim Halpert: False. Black bear.
Dwight Schrute: That's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought--
Jim Halpert: Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
Dwight Schrute: Bears do not... What is going on?! What are you doing?!

Jim Halpert: Does that include 'that's what she said'?
Michael Scott: Mmhh, yes.
Jim Halpert: Wow that is really hard. You really think you can go all day long? Well, you always left me satisfied and smiling.
Michael Scott: Mmmm... THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
