Is a season of The Office with less episodes still a great season? That seems to be the debate among the Emmy-winning sitcom's faithful audience in regard to season four, which like every program in 2007 and 2008 suffered due to the Writers Guild strike. But even a truncated season can't dispel the fact that The Office remains one of television's funniest and most consistently inventive programs. If a theme can be grafted upon season four, it's Things Fall Apart: former temp Ryan (writer-producer B.J. Novak) is promoted to executive position and then squanders that power, while Dwight (series MPV Rainn Wilson) attempts to recover from his breakup with Angela (Angela Kinsey) and her apparent relationship with the hapless Andy (Ed Helms). Elsewhere, HR's Toby (writer-director Paul Lieberstein) finally flees Dunder Mifflin for that long-threatened vacation to Costa Rica (and is replaced by Oscar nominee Amy Ryan), and Stanley (Leslie David Baker) reaches his own breaking point in "Did I Stutter?" The center of office entropy is, of course, boss Michael Scott (Steve Carell), who is knocked off his pedestal throughout the season; his sweetly naive television spot is disparaged in "Local Ad," he's passed over for the executive outing in "Survivor Man," and in the season's highlights, he is forced to twice endure humiliation at the hands of his own girlfriend Jan (Melora Hardin), first in the heartbreaking "Deposition," and then immediately after in the Emmy-nominated "Dinner Party," which puts their disintegrating relationship in sharp focus. Even office lovebirds Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) experience some rocky moments as Jim anguishes over the right time to propose to her. But don't let that laundry list of disasters fool you into thinking that season four is a downer; if anything, many of the episodes are among the funniest the show has produced to date. Most notable among these are the opener "Fun Run" (the Scranton team participates in Michael's charity race for rabies prevention), "Job Fair" (Michael attempts to hawk Dunder Mifflin to high schoolers, while Jim struggles to land a client), and the aforementioned "Dinner Party" and "Goodbye, Toby." Longtime viewers may wince at some of the broader gags in the season, like Michael and Dwight driving into the lake in "Dunder Mifflin Infinity," but the best episodes are so strong--and Carell and his fellow players so dead-on in their performances--that it's hard to make a case against the season for those relatively few low points. Extras in the season-four set are fewer than in previous releases, though that may have to do with the reduced number of episodes. Deleted scenes are offered for every episode, and many are real gems, most notably those in "Dinner Party" and "Goodbye Toby." A smattering of commentaries is also included; Carell and Krasinski are noticeably absent, but Wilson, Fischer and the writing and directing staff more than make up for their absence. And the featurette "Writer's Block," which includes footage of the writers' panel at an Office convention, gives an amusing alternate to the usual behind-the-scenes coverage. Michael's complete ad for Dunder Mifflin, a battery of amusing faux PSAs for rabies, and a gag reel do much to fill out the supplemental features. --Paul Gaita

 The Office Season 4 Rocks! October 6, 2008
Free shipping took about 10 days as advertised, but it was definitely worth the wait.
Season 4 is great October 6, 2008
If you are a fan of The Office you will definitely enjoy all the extras on the Season 4 DVD set. The Blooper reel is about 25 minutes long and is very funny. There seemed to be more deleted scenes than on previous DVD sesaon sets. The foldable container holding the DVD's has a Dunder Mifflin-Scranton hieracrchy chart created by Dwight Schrute. The subtle humor in this will make fans of the show smile. There are only 14 episodes in Season 4 though due to the writer's strike. But the set is still worth it.
Keeps getting better October 6, 2008
I wrote a review for the 3rd Season and S4 just tops its predecessors. Writing is excellent. Acting is getting better every time and the story arcs and subplots...delicious. This is the best season of The Office and the only downside is that it's short due to the strike. But hey, at least Seeson 5 is underway. Get this, you won't regret it1
Yeppers, it's great! October 6, 2008
I ordered The Office Season 4 from Amazon, and I received it in a short time, especially considering that it was free shipping for being over $25. The price was cheaper than any of the stores, including Wal-Mart and Best Buy. The discs are in great quality. The show is awesome. I love The Office! Besides Heroes, it's the only show I own. It's great. Order it from Amazon!
Hilarious! October 6, 2008
Extremely entertaining. Recommended for any fan of The Office. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a full season. The writer strike got a hold of this one thus shortening some of the funny. The laughs that this season delivers however, lingers just the same.
