 Season 6 has it's own charm and keeps me laughing August 25, 2010

I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I just received my HuluPlus membership and I've been re-watching season 6 of The Office on there, and I have to say, I don't remember it being this funny!! I've always preferred watching episodes of a show one right after another at my leisure anyways, but I was absolutely floored by all the funny things I did not remember. Whether it was Kevin's Kleenex shoes or Oscar as Sarah Palin...there is so much great material in there!! I think the problem that a lot of reviewers are having is watching the show progress and the characters grow. Jim and Pam had to get married, Michael has to date, Ryan would naturally be cocky and bitter after being demoted back to a temp. It's NATURAL. And in that respect, the writers are doing a phenomenal job keeping the characters relevant. I remember back when seasons 3 aired, all the die hard fans from seasons 1 and 2 were saying a lot of the things that the fans in this thread are saying...We want change...but not really...we want to laugh, but not in a new way, but we don't want old jokes recycled. We're just too picky for our own good!
I say, relax, watch, laugh and enjoy yourself. Because there's a lot of that to be done with this season.
I'll be purchasing this for sure, even though the material is available on the internet, because I love the extras.
 A season that goes in and out August 20, 2010

Season 6 was probably the worst season of The Office. There were a few good episodes though. This season kinda reminded me of the few last episodes of Seinfeld. You can just tell they are running out of ideas. The season finale was truly pathetic. All the other finales were great. The season 6 finale started something and they didn't know how to finish it. The characters aren't really their usual selves in this season. Also, I hated the Kathy Bates character. She was not funny at all. Also, I don't know why the Ryan character is still on the show. He adds nothing to the humor. Even though he is a side character, he doesn't offer the one-liners such as Creed or Kevin. He was however, funny in the some of the past seasons but this one he does nothing. Hopefully season 7 delivers the goods and end the show on a good note with a great season.
 It's like watching a sad, slow death... August 17, 2010

As someone who rewatched the first five seasons of The Office an unbelievable amount of times, this is the first DVD set I will NOT be buying.
I have always been completely in love with this show. I introduced it to dozens of family and friends. Now I feel like I have to apologize for it... I used to have so much faith in the writers to craft each episode into a masterpiece, perfectly fitting it into their overarching plan. Now I am almost afraid to watch each new episode for fear that it will be even worse than the last.
I enjoyed a few brief-but-wonderful moments this season, but overall it was like watching a slow death. The characters have disintegrated into horrifying caricatures of their previous selves. The storylines are uninteresting or resolved too quickly.
This show used to be built on subtlety. Episodes of the past were dripping with subtext and unspoken emotions; the comedy was surprising and clever and endearing. I firmly believe that the Jim/Pam will-they-won't-they dynamic was the best thing this show ever had going for it. However instead of drawing out their best quality, the writers felt the need to quickly escalate them to a finite marriage with a baby in order to make their relationship seem more "real". I find this interesting seeing as the comedy aspect has gone in the completely opposite direction, resulting in unrealistic slapstic nonsense. Thanks to these unbalanced (and backwards) decisions, all traces of drama and intrigue are gone and we are left with comedy that is loudly in your face, insulting the audience's intelligence.
People seem to have forgotten that this show used to be more than just a comedy. It had a heart that audiences could cheer for. That heart has long since stopped beating.
I still hope (maybe foolishly) that season 7 will somehow find a way to up the stakes and bring us all back to the edge of our seats for one last hurrah.

The earlier seasons of The Office were so fresh and funny. By season 3, The Office had become perhaps the funniest show on the air. Seasons 4 and 5 held up to the standard. Season 6 is where it all begins to unravel.
Many of the episodes in the sixth season are just painful to watch. I have never been a fan of clip shows and fans of this show had to sit through one this season. Clip shows are nothing more than giving the writer's time to be less creative. It is funny to see favorite moments from seasons past but that is why DVD sales and Netflix exist.
In other seasons, it was very hard to pick a favorite episode because most of them were so outstanding. Season six offered a few entertaining shows but nothing that made me want to watch an episode again. Yes, this is the season when Jim and Pam get married and have a baby but other than that, this is just a mediocre season.
 Stone me...I LIKED Sabre... July 13, 2010

Yes. I liked the introduction of Sabre, I love Kathy Bates in her role and I feel she added a punch to a series that is getting a little sleepy. Does she really 'get' Dwight or does she just know how to talk to employees, keeping them motivated? Does she take Mr. Scott seriously as a level-headed Manager or does she utilize professional reserve while sizing up the real situation and making careful considerations on how to handle the Scranton branch, and the burning copiers? I approve of this infusion of corporate power into a show that was sometimes way too silly. The tension between Andy and Erin I found to be just convenient little fillers and I lost interest in them after waiting a whole season for those two to really get their act together. I do agree with another reviewer that Dwight is not getting enough time in the show, and I too miss Creed's often memorable one-liners. Overall I feel this season did have too mmany sub-plots and loose ends, but I do hope the Sabre story fleshes out and remains with the series.
