Mini-Review:
Steve Carrell’s final season on “The Office” finally hits on Blu-ray! Like many “Office” fans, I was sad to see him go, but it is better to see him go out on a high note rather than after the show has jumped the shark. His departure, which actually took place while there were still three episodes left in the season, provides an interesting change to the series. “The Office” can now be shaken up with a new manager, a new dynamic, and new storylines that will hopefully rejuvenate the series. And if the final three episodes are any indication of what’s to come, it’s going to be an interesting ride. Those final episodes featured cameos by Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, Ray Romano, and the new CEO played by James Spader. Each of them brought a new stereotype or neurosis to the table that made things fun.
Highlights of Season Seven include Michael’s homemade movie “Threat Level Midnight,” Dwight finally gaining control of the office, a brief managerial rule by Creed (complete with a new title sequence), the return of Todd Packer, and the return of Amy Ryan as Holly.
The Blu-rays for “The Office” are always great because they come with a ton of bonus features. Every episode has 5 to 10 minutes of bonus features. By the time you add all of those up, you’ve got the equivalent of 4 to 5 additional episodes. The episodes “Training Day” and “Search Committee” also have extended versions which go beyond what was originally aired. Also included are the webisodes where Kelly, Ryan, and Erin create a horror movie in the office. Rounding things out are commentaries, a blooper reel, and a full version of “Threat Level Midnight” (A Michael Scott Joint).
If you’re a fan of “The Office,” then this Blu-ray set is a required addition to your collection. All of the additional content plus HD versions of the episodes make this well worth picking up.
