3-4 "I can't wait" nonreviews on this and the following page, at least 1-2 "read the books only" nonreviews on third and final page.

The Office Season 5 has a jillion

I know we have different tolerance levels for what ratio of "best show ever" versus "what's the matter with Netflix?" should fling a review into the "not a review" nethersphere. So rather than excerpting a line or two I have posted reviews in their entirety so you can decide in advance which to click.

I feel like I have just read 29 pages of YouTube comments, or 29 pages of Kelly Kapoor on how she feels about instant streaming. Yes, you could just go to the show's pages and find a minimum of 3 of these per page, but imagine the tedium I have spared you!

By the way, I have very recently watched the episodes getting Instant Watch complaints -- they played fine, there were no audio glitches, and there is NO WAY those non-reviews are "helpful."


Why can't they do Watch Instantly for this like they do Heroes and update it after every new episode?

Phish: Walnut Creek - Hey, how long is a 'very long wait'? If you have this DVD at your house and are done watching it, send it back. If it is sitting at your house and you haven't got around to watch it, hurry up, watch it and send it back. Other people might want to watch this thing!

I also really wish they would be able to offer season 5 to be watched instantly as many other tv shows like heroes

good show but I cant get Audio on some of the episodes. Can you guys fix this please I get audio in all the other instant shows and movies

Yeah, just tried to watch Stress Relief part 1 on instant play and there is no sound. The theme music plays for the credits but there is no other sound. Im not sure where to report this error.

Hey not sure where to put this but how do you get to the list that has the episodes name so you can pick that way?? I get it on somethings then others nothing.

How come about 4 or 5 of the episodes sound doesnt work? Anyone else having this problem? All i can hear is the background sounds for the episodes but no vocals or intro music.I dont know other than the 5 episodes that dont work i love this season

INSTANT! INSTANT! INSTANT! I completely agree with everyone else... I'm dying over here!! We refuse to watch it on tv because we have The Office marathons and watch several episodes at the same time! Can they at least give an estimated date?!?!?

i'm going out of my mind! i watched all the other seasons on instant and now i want to watch this season. i tried going on nbc to watch the episodes there but they have commercials throughout the episodes and the format doesn't work well with my computer so it stalls every few seconds. I'M BEGGING YOU TO PUT THIS SEASON ON FOR THE LOYAL VIEWERS LIKE ME, WHO DON'T HAVE TIME TO WATCH IT ON TV. PLEEEASE!

As of right now, episode 10: The Surplus has no sound. There is music and you can kind of hear background noise but everything else is silent. On a different note, this season is by FAR the funniest season. Youve probably heard that about the other season but trust me, this is the best. I laughed more than I have with any other season. Great jokes, creative ideas, and outstanding performances.

Stress Relief: Part 1 There is no sound when I am trying to watch this episode... music is there but I cant hear any dialogue... I think you need to tend to this error ASAP... Thanks...

This is my favorite show, It's hilarious, PLEASE ADD TO WATCH NOW. I subscribe to neflix solely for the Office.

The office definatly neeeds to be updated after every new episode along with a few other tv shows. Please add more instant movies and tv shows!

PLEASE UPDATE THE SERIES SO THAT WE CAN WATCH THEM INSTANTLY!!!much better than heroes...THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED EVERY WEEK!!!

INSTANT!!!!!!! INSTANT!!!!!!!!! INSTANT!!!!!! !!!instant!!!!!!!!!

Please make this available for instant viewing. You just allowed us to watch 4 seasons instantly. We've been spoiled.

PLEASE allow us to watch episodes like we can watch Hero's. Where we can watch every episode after it is shown to the public.

Episode 14: Stress Relief Part 1 is having the same issue as Episode 10 was earlier in the day, with the sound just not being there.

anyone else getting terrible sound for some episodes? Stress Relief Part 1 only has background noise.

I agree. I think this should be a watch instantly show. I finished season 4 partly into season 5 so I'm waiting for the DVD so I can catch up!

I really love this show and Season 5 has not disappointed me yet. Even though technically the episodes could be watched out of order I am not one to do so. Here is where the problems lies, I am stuck on Stress Relief Part 1 due to the sounds not working. I reported the issue and would like to urge others to do the same. To do so scroll to the bottom of the page and click Contact Us. The second link down is Problem Watching instantly. It will come up with a list of movies/episodes recently watched and the ability to report problems. Doing so should help get the problems fixed more so than only writing a review to complain about it not working.

Ok, it's nearly the end of '09 now. It's about time this is on instant play. Whoever is calling the shots on this needs to get with the times...

im so happy this is now in my Instant Queue!!!! For some reason episode 10 The Surplus does not have any audio....very strange. All other episodes are great.

Watch instantly please!!!!! I do not like filling my queue with five dvds when its way more convenient to watch it all in one place.

please make this season an instant queue season so i can watch it on my xbox i love this show, thanks ;D

make it available to watch instantly PLEASE! The Office is a great series and the 5th seasons should be available with the previous four seasons.

Please put this on watch it now!! I just finished 1-4 and I want to keep going! You should update it every episode like lost. It would be awesome

Why cant this be updates like Heroes???? Season 5 MUST be available to view instantly...PLEASE..We are paying customers!!!!

This series is amazingly funny, and it would be really awesome if season 5 was available to watch insta...

Ya I would also like to have it updated and watch instance. Why cant they do that

My family and I are in total agreement with those of you who say they would like this to be an instant watch like some of the great shows are already. Maybe if enough of us voice our opinion it will result in The Office becoming one of the instant watch TV shows. It can't hurt to try!!!

I watch this show on my Xbox 360 cause I don't want to buy all the seasons so I wish this was on the watch Instantly List

I really would like to watch this season instantly, why can't nf do that for us Office fans? I got all caught up with the seasons and now I want more! I miss PB&J. :)

The Office: Season 4 - What? Why are you taking our streaming away???? Please dont do that to me.... I beg you.

The estimated release date for this season on DvD via best buy is 9/8/09, so we will more then likely not see this on instant view till that week. =/

I absolutely love the Office! I'm so disappointed that it's not on Watch Instantly like the other....

pUT IT ON WATCH INSTANTLY LIKE SEASON 1-4 PLEASE N.F.!!

When is this going to be avaliable for watch instantly? Can anyone answer this or give any information.

Listen to the masses, N-Flix! Send this puppy to watch instantly! I love this show and this season was great. But I signed up with N-Flix only to get the streaming service. So treat us streaming video users right!

I love it, but i can't always make it on time too watch every episode.totaly wish this was like heroes,playing instantly here week by week

need to see this please make it available for streaming...INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!!INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!! INSTANTLY!!

I watched the first four seasons of this show instantly and had this season in the top of my queue for awhile. Season six has already started, so I'm glad to able to watch all of this season right now. This is a show that has me laughing out loud at something every episode. And I mean that literally, not in the internet "lol" style. The plots continue to thicken while the laughs keep on rolling in at a fast rate. For a 30 minute TV show, it packs a lot of punch. The writing is superb and the acting top notch. I've previously thought the character of Dwight K. Shrute was the best comedic invention in network sit-coms. But I'm really enjoying Ed Helms as Andy. He's giving Dwight a run for his money. I hope the comedy continues in season six. It may well be the funniest show on network TV in the past 20 years.

I also agree that the office is one good show and "NTFLIX" NEEDS TO HURRY WITH SOME OF THESE GOOD SHOWS AND MOVIES AND ADD THEM TO THE INSTANT QUEUE. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF HAVING THIS SERVICE IS TO AVOID HAVING TO PURCHASE OR WAIT....

Please make The Office seasons 5 and 6 instant like the other shows... it is an instant classic for the whole family to enjoy. EPIC

I don't know why everybody is complaining; Season 5 WAS available for streaming (you'd think that any fan of "The Office" with 'this service' would know that, maybe they're new subscribers?). They removed it probably per request of NBC to boost DVD sales. I'm purchasing the "BEET BOX" set because I'm an avid fan, they deserve it and it has extra content you wont find on 'this service.'

I agree! Im ready to watch it on the instant queue! I started watchin the office bout 2 weeks ago and went thru all 4 seasons in a total of bout 6 days! Show is hilarious and I cant watch it on hulu or nbc.com cuz they dont have the complete season! I say update the office! AND weeds! AND entourage! AND true blood! I'll be waiting

This should deffinetly be in instant play, and be updated on every episode like Heroes. This is a great and addicting television series, and I recommend it to anyone.

PLEASE ADD THIS TO WATCH INSTANTLY!!!!! I am begging you. PLEASE! PLEASE! This is a great show. If you can put LOST on watch instantly then add this season to watch instantly!!

Let us watch this season instantly!!!! Everybody loved being able to watch all seasons of The Office whenever we wanted. That was the only reason I bought one of your Roku players!

Net-flix SERIOUSLY needs to get this on "Watch Instantly"!!! I seriously love the Office, why can't they upload it episode by episode like CSI?

They really need to make this available with Instant Play. My other favorite show "Heroes" has all seasons with Instant Play.

Please make season 5 available on the instant que! Or can you let us know when it might become rentable?

It's pretty sad that about 5 of the reviews on the main page have nothing to do with the actual show; just obsessed fans that care about instant viewing. That's all I'll say about that. So far this season is moving along nicely. Michael is still an idiot. Dwight and Andy square off for Angela's affection mid season. Michael quits towards the end of the season to start the "Michael Scott Paper Company". One of the more creative parts of the season is the bootleg movie starring Jack Black & Cloris Leachman, pretty much making out the entire time. Quite awkward.
(needs a SPOILER ALERT in my opinion)

Yo Gabba Gabba: Meet My Family - The DVD covers shows the episode from the Nick Jr "Celebrate Family" DVD that is already available to rent (featuring The Roots singing "Love My Family" during the Super Music Dance Show). I have no doubt that this DVD will also keep my 2 year old dancing and singing for weeks.
Bring It On - OMG! Stop making these movies! No one cares anymore! The acting is awful. The plot....who am I kidding? WHAT PLOT?! If it weren't for my wife, I'd never have to rent movies like this!
Bring It On: All or Nothing - OMG! Stop making these movies! No one cares anymore! The acting is awful. The plot....who am I kidding? WHAT PLOT?! If it weren't for my wife, I'd never have to rent movies like this!
Bring It On: In It to Win It - OMG! Stop making these movies! No one cares anymore! The acting is awful. The plot....who am I kidding? WHAT PLOT?! If it weren't for my wife, I'd never have to rent movies like this!
Bring It On: Fight to the Finish - OMG! Stop making these movies! No one cares anymore! The acting is awful. The plot....who am I kidding? WHAT PLOT?! If it weren't for my wife, I'd never have to rent movies like this!

When will this be available? We would like to at least rent it not to mention watch it instantly. Can you at lease let us know when?

Obviously the instant play on this is being delayed so that viewers can't watch it in time to be in sync with the 6th season which is about to begin, and thus people will be dependent on services like netglix come next fall when they'll need to watch all of season 6 on instant play. If they got us caught up on season five in time for season 6, there'd be no incentive to use netglix again for 'the office' next fall. It's not in our interest. It's in theirs. PLEASE put season five on instant play NOW!

I agree with KB (about the Georgia Bulldogs and the Office thing). The Office and Heroes are my two favorite shows, and I got behind on The Office so I have to wait til it comes out.

Please put this on to where we can watch the whole season on our co.... It makes alot of sense to me to put all shows seasons on instant so you can view them back to back to back

Watch Instant! PLEASE!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

I wish there was a way to recommend movies to add to the watch instantly list. Most of the ones they pick are pretty lame...

According to Amazon.com, The Office Season 5 will be released Sept 8th, 2009. I'm looking forward to the release on dvd and hopefully it will be available as Instant Streaming, since I have watched Seasons 1-4 using my Roku player

I need this to be available to add to the instant queue...nothing else matters! Please forward to the powers that be...lol!

I agree with the other posts...I would even be willing to watch this on TV if I could get up to speed before the next season starts.

You guys know that the reason why Season Five isn't available for instant-viewing is probably because it's not even out on DVD yet and it's not financially feasible to offer something on a day-and-date release schedule right?

I NEED INSTANT STREAM. HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE ME SUFFER WITH OUT INSTANT STREAM?? this show is possibly the funniest on tv

I would definitely pay more to be able to watch these shows instantly. What a great show.

I dont see why the can't just make this season instant play like th...

Please add this season to WATCH INSTANTLY! Season 6 is coming out next week! I need to get caught up!

Has anyone got any answers from the powers that be as to why Season 5 is not available for Watch Instantly like Heroes. Or will it be offered once the whole season is over.

Weeds - I loved Seasons 1 & 2...Great show...Watch those two Seasons on Watch Instantly...Will the others Seasons come to Watch Instantly???

The first four seasons of The Office are available as watch instantly, so I assumed that season five would also be available to watch instantly. I finished the first four seasons several months ago and have been paying the monthly fee just waiting until the release date for season five. Imagine my dismay to discover that season five isn't streaming! Since I got so used to streaming, I don't have the patience for mail or DVDs anymore. I'm going to give them one more month to add this to watch instantly, or I'm canceling my subscription.

I want to watch this instantly! I'll pay more! Okay, maybe not, but...

The office is the best show ever made and I'm finally getting a little sick of some episodes!(casue I've rewatched them sooo many times) please allow us to watch season 5 instantly!

Hurry and put it on "Watch Instantly"!!!! I'm eager to watch. Damn now they won't let me post is I don't have 80 characters in my review. Come on...getting kinda annoying.

Please make it available to watch instantly.. Thank you. I would greatly appreciate it! It makes no sense not too!

Why can they make it so you can watch it instantly? I will not orde... Wonder why this one isn't on instent play...

I want to know what happens with angela and dwight and andy? That ending of season 4 was just amazing!!!

to n-flix: PUT THIS AS STREAMING!!!!!! Come on!!!! Every day i check for this to be streaming lol

I looove the Office, this season is just as great and funny as the others. Please please please make it available on instant.

I really wish that they would make this instant to watch. Like Heroes. It is stuff like this that makes me want to cancel my sub and just ...

Seasons 1-4, available for instant play, season 5.......not. WHAT T... This show is the best, and now you are not only keeping season 5 for the DvD queue, but you are dropping 4 and 3 down to dvd only also? How stupid are you?

They should really make this available in streaming form. Or at least send all of the discs together when they mail them! Ughh! I am forced to watch them elsewhere.

Please put up the episodes after the air like heroes, I'm dying here. It's so good but I missed a couple in the beginning so I need to catch up.

INSTANT PLAY INSTANT PLAY INSTANT PLAY Please make The Office: Season 5 available for instant play. Wouldn't it be cheaper for them to make it instant play rather than have to ship it to everyone that wants it?

The Office: Season 6 - This doesn't even exist yet. Season 5 ended a few weeks ago (and should really be on instant play by now!!!) so yeah this is weird

I thought you were trying to move to more on-demand viewing. I'm very disappointed we have to wait so long for season 5. Could you please be more descriptive on timing? I love your company, but can't stand that more materials aren't available on-demand.

Instant office please. September 8th is less than 2 weeks away. Don't dissapoint people by not making it instant the day it's released on DVD. (And earlier if at all possible)

5 stars for The Office overall. There must be a reason this is not yet offered. Hulu has it starting with Episode 15-26, but I can't find 1-14 anywhere! I am looking forward to Net'x making the complete Season 5 and 6 available on WATCH INSTANTLY!!

I haven't watched this season yet, but the day after I got the first 2 disc's they went on instant. I wish it would have been available sooner

I recently got into the Office 3 days ago and have watched all 4 seasons since then! This is the first show I believe I'm actually obsessed with! Dwight is a killer and he makes me laugh about things that normally wouldnt be as funny as he makes them. go the Office! I'm quite bothered by the fact that season 5 can not be previewed o... I may have to go buy it to satisfy my craving because I must discover how/when/if Jim proposes to Pam. =P

The office is actually the reason I subscribed to N-flix, other tha... while not doing anything. Like others, I am disappointed because it's not on Watch Instantly yet. The office to me is like an addiction, you will and you will definitely watch it and you will not stop watching it even after you have seen it. You will always tell your self that you need to watch the next episode even though you are tired to death. You will always laugh no matter how low your volume. Just looking at their facial expressions made this show a must view.

I wish they could make it instant, I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! Its so addicting!!! I've seen every episode

Why hasn't this season been added to the watch instantly yet. I have all of the other seasons and I am ready to partake in the the 5th season. I tried to watch on nbc.com as well as hulu and the streaming sucks on there it is to choppy and slow so could not watch correctly. I hope that you guys will add season 5 like yesterday so that those of us who happen to like this series can enjoy season 5.

This is the best show ever..ive watched all of them its really good i just wish it was on instant thats the only thing thats bad

This season I expect to be just as awesome as the previous, although I am kindof peeved that the season is not available in the "watch instantly" list.

I really can't wait for this season to be on the instant queue... It worked for Heroes last season and this season apparently. What gives?

Netfrix please read the office season 5: stress relief, part 1 no sound.no sound stress relief, part 1. please read.

Okay am I the only one that cant hear Stress Relief part 1? I cant hear the dialogue at all! Whats wrong with it?

Why dont I have audio on The Surplus episode?! This is really bumming me out. Does anyone else have this problem?

Not so much a review, but the voice sound doesnt work when I watch stress relief part 1. And, I cant find anywhere to report the trouble. But I do love the Office and am so glad season 5 is finally instant watch.

I'm really upset that they don't have this as a watch instantly. Does anyone know when this is going to happen?

Please, please make this instant! Also don't take away the instant capability for seasons 3 and 4. That's just heartbreaking.

Why can't we watch this Instantly? All of the other seasons have that option why doesn't this one?

I agree with ALL of the other reviewers: put ALL episodes from every season in the Instant as soon as they air!

I agree, it would be amazing to watch season 5 instantly like Heroes. You know Hollywood... 1 step behind on everything... Embrace the fu...

Leave It to Chance - My buddy Chuong Tran is in the movie and I have met the cast since they all went to college with me at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. I was truly amazed that they had this movie.
Heroes: Season 3 - I am so stoked that the Season 3 is on my ROKU (I just got mine in the mail and set it up)! Its like having TiVo for my favorite show. Good job guys! This season is off to a good start.

They should make this like "Heroes" and allow us to watch it instantly. HEROES

please put office on watch instantly. You did that with so many other shows like NCIS. Please put it up here.

let us watch instantly please!!!! I want to catch up before season 5. This show rules.... pizza tuesday?

I would love to watch this instantly i loved the first four seasons so please try and make that happen i will be very happy thanks

wow. how dare anyone say that the office is better than heroes. I'm...

Please make this available to watch online! I enjoyed watching all of the other seasons -- it makes no sense not to have this season available to your customers. Thank you!

Mirrors - I know once I saw the preview for this movie I was like its no way anyone can come up with a movie like this except for a Korean or Japanese person xD lol no one else is that cool =D but Nflix doesn't have "in the water by- Sung ho Kim" :( LAME... (Nflix, Get It!)

I would have to agree that it is annoying that you can't watch it instantly like other television shows.

I think we can't watch it instantly until the DVDs have been released on September 8th so cross your fingers that that's all it is!

Please! Net flicks, the people that pay you have spoken. add this to stream instantly and update it like heroes!

Why can't you watch this season instantly? Anyway, great show. Steve Carells a beast!

Please make them watch instantly. yes it is great shows but i would whatch them so much more if they were whatch instantly. You have all the other seasons on watch instantly why not just add this one

Why can't they do Watch Instantly for this like they do Heroes and update it after every new episode?

The Krays - I have been a member since 2001 and it has been in my queue from the start. When???

Awesome show, I just wish it was view instantly because my friend and i watch them over XboxLive every once in a while.

The office is by far the funniest show on network tv right now. I love that I have the first 4 seasons on "Watch Instantly" and can stream them in HD. I suppose I will rent ALL 5 DISCS, in BASIC DVD QUALITY because I love the show so much. As others have mentioned, if heroes is gonna pump out new episodes on Watch Instantly, then why can't The Office be shown the same respect. This is isn't some third rate crappy comedy that got canceled after one seas

I would love to see this season on watch instantly. Otherwise I have to buy it for $1.99 an episode on iTunes :(

Oh come on.... season 5&6 is now in que.... let's go and get with the "Watch Instantly" buzz. This is a great series of a dysfunctional office space. Pleanty of laughs and enough story to keep interest.

I wonder if enough people posted how much they would like for this season to be posted and updated for intant watching before september, would it made happen? I am a huge fan of this show and hope that other people would contibute to making this possible

You make my life wonderful. Can i watch season 5 now? I would enjoy every moment of it. The office makes my world rotate in love circles. I hate you

Ok, my husband and I also just finished season 4 and are very much addicted! Since we can not watch season 5 until...who knows when!! I have a hint from my parents-watch the British version of "The Office"! I have not watched it yet, but it was 1st and may be our only hope! Ha!! Let's give it a try!

They will have Season 5 for instant view tomorrow (Oct. 1st) There is a great site that has release dates for instant view content.

I just dont get it. I dont understand how TV shows or even movies for that matter are chosen to be put on "watch instantly." Like for example, how you can watch all of Heroes, even while the season is still in session, but the first season of Greys Anatomy is still on the "mail to" list. Can you guys make it to where we have some sort of input on this? Or at least tell us your criteria. Because it doesnt really make sense at this point in time. I know now we will probably have to wait a matter of months just to get Season 5 of The Office on watch instantly.

You really need to add The Office: Season 5 to Watch Instantly. Sea...

The Office Special - The Watch Instantly for this needs to be fixed. Neither of the specials will play.

The office is great. Please make available to watch instantly. The other 4 seasons are available, as well as the original British version. I am simply echoing the other viewers requests. Sincerely, Me

The office is a very good T.V show and has very good jokes, but i wish it was on instant play because i missed a few episodes on T.V.

Tried to watch streaming, but some episodes are missing the voices from the soundtrack rendering them unwatchable (episodes 14 and 16).

you can never o wrong with the office. best show on Tv hands down. put season 5 on instant already!!!!

I wish they would make this available to watch instantly too. The new season is about to start soon, and I have only seen one episode of this season. I wont know what's going on for the new season :(

As much as I love The Office, I am giving N-ETFLIX one star. This should be made for online viewing.

the office is the best tv show out...I been waiting for season five...im kind of upset because its not on instant..

This most definitely needs to be able to be instantly watched on yo... all the other seasons are and with the long wait for this show through the mail its the only way many of us will get to watch it within a reasonable time,

i would give this season 5 stars like the other 4 seasons but i just cannot bring myself to do so. THIS NEEDS TO BE ON INSTANT VIEW. it is outrageous how we have to add 5 dvds to our queue to watch the season bit by little bit. If you are not going to make it an instant view at least have the decency to ship all of the dvds in one envelope.

LOVE The Office, though I really wish they would offer season 5 to watch instantly like all the others.

The office makes me laugh. It is a great stress reliever. Check out the "Booze Cruise" in Season 2. That's my favorite episode.

the first 4 seasons are instant and now this season is on DVD. WHEN... Seriously though, this is one of the funniest seasons. It includes my favorite all time episode Stress Relief, "You can't die Stanley! You can't die! Barack is president! You are black Stanley! I'm going to give him mouth to mouth" - Michael Scott, while Stanley has a heart attack. NOTE- Heart attacks in no way involve the respitory system.

Need to make this availible on insant please!!! It is some much better to be able to watch as many episodes as wanted when you want to and not have to wait for it in the mail! I love the instant options

The Office was a show we didn't fully embrace until the Instant Streaming feature was added. It really is a shame to LOSE content as a customer. Would love to continue streaming this wonderful series

I just wanted to add that I too, would like to watch this on Instan.... I write this in hope that it wil reach someone who cares about these kinds of things.

Let US WATCH INSTANTLY Please!!

they need to make this one available in instant queue! I can watch it online just about anywhere, including the nbc websit...

PULEEEESE!!! Instant freeze these episodes! This is the nicest way to watch these shows!!

THe dvd has been released how long till it is instant like the rest...

This isn't exactly a review, but a note to a bunch of the previous posters: If you want to watch season 5 online before its available here, just go to nbc.com

When does this come out on watch instanly?

They should by now be able to offer The Office Season 5 in the Watch Instantly section. I just plowed my way through the first four seasons and am thoroughly addicted now, and I just found out I have to wait for Season 5. I know there are more important things in life but it would be nice to be able to watch this now.

I believe these will be released for Instant Streaming on Sept 9th ... As far as a review, this show is absolutely incredible. Although this was my least favorite of all the seasons, it's still packed with hilarious moments and "no-he-didnt" scenarios.

please add to watch instantly!!! please add to watch instantly!!! please add to watch instantly!!!

Ok this is ridiculous! Season 6 is already out and I'm falling behind and don't want to spoil the whole season by watching the new ones! PUT THIS ON INSTANT!

I really wish they did the updating thing with alot more tv shows... It's really a pain to have to get 4 discs for one season in the mail over a span of time. As long as they do it with the New Heroes I'll be fine, but i would appreciate alot more TV shows in the watch instantly.

Streaming

I Want SEASON 5 AND 6 ALREADY!!! !!!!!!!!!!1

Great season as usual. I know you can't watch it online here yet, but NBC has full episodes of season 5 on their website for free. They only put up the most recent ones, so you can't go back and watch the first episodes of season 5. But it is nice if you're a few weeks behind.

I haven't seen this season yet but i've seen the other ones and i really like them but i don't understand why they cant have the instant view like the other seasons did.

In answer to the previous reviewer, some of the episodes of The Office can be viewed instantly on NBC.com and on Hulu.com. Love this show!!

HEY!!! SO, does anyone know when this will be available for instant... This season is great; can't wait to watch it again...and again, adn again...

i really love the office. They should do what they do for heroes Really guys, listen to the people. We know what we want

I can't review it because I can't watch it online!! I watched 1-4 and LOVED them - 5 stars all the way. I was mortified to find that I couldn't watch season 5 except to get each disk in the mail?? And I can't just start watching this on TV and NOT know what happens between the end of season 4 and wherever they are at now???? Come on, Netflixy - hook THE OFFICE fans up with streaming season 5!!!!!!

I started watching the office to catch up with it and i love it. But now waiting for the fifth season to finish is a pain. Updating after each episode would be helpful

Man, do I agree with you all! When I finished season 4, I went to watch season 5 thinking I would be able to do it instantly but man was I disappointed. I really think they should do it like they did with Hereos and let us members watch it instantly.

What the hell does Save mean? It isnt in my q and I cant watch it i...

I agree with everyone, this show should be updated every episode, like heroes. This has just as many, if not more viewers.

Aww,I had just finished Netflixing the 4th season, with hopes this one would be available, just like Heroes(as others have pointed out). Oh well, guess i'll be waiting.

It is insane they make you wait so long to watch this. Huge hits like Heroes are available the moment they have played on air - why can they not do this with the office???? I have a feeling more and more shows will be this way - thinking about leaving this site as it becomes a commercialized giant...

I love watching and re-watching the office, it reminds me of an old boss. Why can't we watch this season instantly? Some times I think they are trying to get us hooked to rent out the disks.

Californication - Please add seasons 2 and 3 to instant. Don't get me hooked and then not have the rest of the episodes :(

Why is this not available?!?!? Episodes should be available as they...

Unfortunately the Season 5 DVD is not available until Sept. 8 2009. So I guess we will have to wait til then! Still was a great season so I will give it the 5 stars!

Please offer season 5 instantly. I dont want to switch to a blockbuster subscription. Kind regards, AK

Please get this to be instant like Heros. This is one of the best shows in 20 years.

I don't understand they say this came out in 2008 so why can't I at least add it? This is depressing lol.

Put season 5 on here already. I missed the beginning and if I skip I'm going to be lost to know whats happening. I barely caught up and BAM, I hit a wall expecting to see the 5th season. Just put on the episodes that had been shown on tv, I mean how hard...

They should put it on instant. i watched all the other seasons on instant on my xbox 360 and noe i...

I just wanted to say that this is not up yet cuz season 5 is not finished yet and this is not even released in stores yet to my knowledge

they really need to update their watch instantly television selection with more updated shows or shows that people actually watch such as Oz, Sopranos, Entourage, Dexter, Family Guy, The Simpsons, and maybe some Adult Swim stuff. Any ideas on how we can petition this cuz I'm not in the mood to watch old black and white shows from 20 ...

They should do as they do with heroes.And does anyone know when they will be putting season 5 up to watch instantly.

well, its computer folks that run the site and they obviously like ...

this is so g-damn annoying! I missed most of season 5 on tv and now I have to wait for it to come out on dvd so I watch it instead of watch instantly..GAY

I really wish they would just put this on Instant Que. I really enjoy this show but cant watch it that often... hopefully they can update it on instant que after every episode

I am excited and can't wait to watch the 5th season of the office. I love this show. It is hilarious. It has the perfect cast for the show. I am so glad that Pam and Jim got together finally. I was mad that when Pam was finally single, Jim had that Karen chick. I know it was to make the show more interesting. And I can't believe that the last episode of season four Jim didn't propose because of stupid Andy. I guess that's why the show is so great.

I completely agree with what has been said below. Heroes is lame compared to the office.

You can't do instant play because the dvd didn't comeout yet! In fact, I don't think they finished this season.

For everyone wanting instant gratification, I suggest you get your hineys over to ninjavideo.net. cheers D

Does anyone know if this is the last season in the series? I sure hope not... Great show, with great writers.... Keep it up

I'm just glad I have this. But, I already have 30+ things on q. I don't want to wait that long. I don't watch heroes just so you know.

Horton Hears a Who - I was just rating the office when I saw it wasn't on instant. And neither is this! I'm not waiting a year to watch this.
The Office: Season 6 - I just wanted to know how many seasons there are. Wait, this isn't on instant? Oh. Well kids, you're gonna have to wait a couple months before you can watch this. Thanks a lot.

I cant believe they don't have instant play for this and the following season! That is ridiculous.

Until a Company -Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named makes the current season (5) of The Office available to Watch Instantly, I won't be subscribing after my free trial ends. Chop chop, guys.

you can find instant watch season 5 episodes of the office on IMDB.com. They do not have the whole season, just the most recent episodes but, they do in fact update the day after the new episode airs, and it's free.

My wife and I have watched all of the office episodes on watch instant. Please put it on so we can watch it on the xbox. Please. ASAP

So glad it's now available on Instant Watch. Lots of romantic relationship activity in episode one. Woo-Hoo!!!!

This is insanity. why isn't this up yet. its been a year now. why isn't this up? isn't season 6 coming out next month?

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Why is this not available for steaming like season 1? I liked this when it was on tv and I lost track of it. why is this not available. Does anyone have any idea when or if it'll be available? And what about hd?

I didn't watch season 5 yet... I am just waiting for the watch instantly version. Please I watch on my computer. I am here just to give my 2 cents about this.

The Age of Innocence - i couldnt finish because the instant play was very poor. It skipped and the image was not sharp.

I know right come on guys put it already. For anyone who doesn't know go to nbc.com new episodes every thurs.

I want it instantly. So now I go to HULU! I hope that HULU becomes a part of the Roku program. That would be the best. I read in playboy a while back that this would be the case soon. When?

Last page of reviews has two people with accounts set to "private" and a third review that needs a SPOILER ALERT:

How is it that the two "most popular" reviews ARE NOT EVEN REVIEWS??? And worse, 90% of the people who voted consider them "HELPFUL"? I would encourage people to click the "Flag this" button and flag them as "This is not a review." But of course, THIS non-review deserves special treatment and shouldn't be flagged.

Hey, calm down about not being on instant play. ITS NOT OUT YET! So stop complaining its really annoying

I also had a problem with Stress Relief part 1. There was no primary audio. Just backround noise and the theme song. There is nowhere to report this kind of thing. The 5th season is just amazing as the rest. Micheal Scott never dissapoints.

You may well have earned your wings with this post. Or horns. Your choice! Heck, take both while no one is looking!

Actually, rather than clicking and opening all of these separately, I think I'd rather just go to the first page of The Office: Season 5 and start scanning and clicking. So here's the link for anyone who'd rather do it from the Movie Display Pages.

Oh, please, make 'em stop!

One thing is that someone can write a "review" that says "INSTANT! INSTANT! INSTANT! I completely agree with everyone else... I'm dying over here!! We refuse to watch it on tv because we have The Office marathons and watch several episodes at the same time! Can they at least give an estimated date?!?!?"

An entirely different thing is that 43 of 49 found it helpful... The idiot ratio is staggering!

christ man, long enough post? But it is true that you saved the time.

By the way, I have very recently watched the episodes getting Instant Watch complaints-- they played fine, there were no audio glitches, and there is NO WAY those non-reviews are "helpful."


They may be trying on a different platform than what you used. I have some shows (30 Rock for example) that work fine on my PC but when I try to watch them on my Xbox 360 there is only music audio. This happened for me with The Betrayal and some other shows I can't really remember.

You're blaming the messenger, dude.

They may be trying on a different platform than what you used.

The "reviews" are still not a helpful place for those comments. You can send a report to Netflix from the "Your Queue" or "Your Account" pages, or you can call customer service. Then it will have a chance of getting fixed.

I wish that there were a "report a problem" button right next to the "write a review" button on the film's main page, but the people who think those tech error "reviews" are helpful still drive me crazy.
