Getting through the work-day isn't easy - not with this boss.
The first season of the NBC comedy "The Office" is only six episodes long. The whole season is shorter than a "Lord of the Rings" movie. The DVD is perfect for comedy-lovers who think they might want to catch up with the show, but are not sure if they will like its racy humor. The show is simply...
