Add me to the “Why are they still putting Ryan on the covers?” chorus. Cool that Andy’s there though. I wish they would get a little more creative with the covers though, rather than just “Here’s the main characters standing” all the time.
This reminds me a little bit of the picture at the end of Conflict Resolution!
to 105:Jimmy
Oh yeah… No Asians in Scranton. W.E.
…Still…
okay, but they have an Indian in scranton, what’s with that? Why can’t there be Asians?
aw, I like it :) they all look nice and photoshopped. and airbrushed. and that is all good with me. I can’t wait for september!
I think the cover does an injustice by not showing the other cast members. The Office is an ensemble and at Season 5, the other actors should receive more respect.
Oh and by the way, Jenna looks super cute on the cover (when doesn’t she?)
ANDY!! *yay* About time they put Ed Helm’s face on that cover!
This seasons cover is nice. But the faces are pretty creepy (as they were in season two). But with three webisode series, bloopers, and many commentaries, and probably more, this seasons DVD is looking really good.
It has been confirmed over at tvshowsondvd.com that Kevin’s Loan, The Outburst, and Blackmail webisodes will all be on the DVD and Bluray! Yay!
Yay Andy! I love Ed so much!
@96:
Yes, I too am curious as to what is up with Michael’s face. It’s like…it’s features are in slightly smaller proportion to the overall size of his face than they should be.
106, I agree 100%. She’s been a ‘main’ character since season two.
i love that andy’s there, but where the hell is angela?! come on, get rid of ryan and put in angela!
102: You realize this show takes place in Scranton, PA…right?
Ed looks hilarious with that trademark Andrew Bernard grin on the cover. I think I’ll go for the blu-ray btw.
Nice cover and I can’t wait to buy the DVD (and see what goodies come with it this year!), but I feel like at this point they should replace Ryan with Angela…Ryan’s not that important anymore.
I also wish they added Angela or Holly, or both to the cover, because Angela also had a big part this season, and even though Holly was only there for less than half the season, I still think she made a big impact on it. I just think we need to see more girls. I also wish they would add even MORE diverse characters like an Asian man or woman, or something like that.
I really don’t understand why Ryan has to have that hair style. It wasn’t seen this whole season. And, I know the hair was for Inglorious Basterds, but they could’ve done something. It’s nice, and all, but i just don’t understand why. But YAY for Andy, finally getting attention!!!!!!!!!!
i’m so happy they added andy there!! =D
Yay Ed! Guess since he’s had a big summer movie hit, he’s worthy of the cover. Plus the triangle of last season. And he’s awesome! :)
Besides the weird (and always present) photoshopping of their faces, I like it.
