| #2 Posted on 23.6.06 1317.07 Reposted on: 23.6.13 1319.22 | According to a review here: The Office Season 1 (The W at Amazon) it is only 6 episodes long, but there are deleted scenes. If you are a completist or enjoy the series you may want to get it for under $20 - that's still over 2 hours of comedy for the price of a movie.
You might also find The BBC version (Seasons 1 & 2 Plus a special) (The W at Amazon) for $45 a pretty good deal while you are there

I'll add that I bought it and think it's easily worth right around three bucks an episode, especially to get in widescreen and ESPECIALLY for the deleted scenes. | Guru Zim

Do you get more Kevin reaction shots with the widescreen? Because that would totally sell me on it. | Wpob

It's not quite as good (because there's no payoffs), but it lays a LOT of groundwork. | TheMASKEDComputerGeek

| #9 Posted on 24.6.06 1542.50 Reposted on: 24.6.13 1545.44 | It's not as good moreso because they were reliant on the original series (the first episode is kinda awful, aping the UK's first episode) and hadn't found their voice yet. But it's worth it for the basketball episode and the deleted scenes alone.
*Edited for double usage of the word "moreso", thus making me cringe.

That doesn't sound right. Weren't there 24 episodes, each at about 22 minutes? Shouldn't that be closer to 9 hours, or were there more ads than I remember? (Not counting the Chili's placement...)
Edit: Nevermind. There were 22 episodes, which at 21-22 minutes per episode should make 8 hours once you count the extended finale. That still seems short though.

So much was said, with so little.
