After some
Office gossip went around about a month ago, with rumors of a different release date, the studio is now showing that
The Office - Season 3 will hit the time clock on
September 4th. The info comes from a two-page trade magazine ad that NBC-Universal will be running in the near future, showing retailers the studio's fall line-up of TV-DVDs. The box art from the ad is shown below, and the cost displayed is $49.98 SRP.
Cast member Jenna Fischer ("Pam") had an accident recently, which we're sure many of you know about. For those of you who don't, last month (May) she was attending a party in New York City for
The Office, and fell down a flight of stairs. Her back was reportedly broken in multiple places, but very fortunately there will be no permanent damage. She has a long recovery period, but not so long that she won't be there when the fourth season of the show starts filming. All this is a prelude to comments seen on
Fischer's blog at MySpace, which our reader Dave Fowler has tipped us off to. Thanks, Dave! Here's what Jenna says about the 3rd Season DVD extras:
Now…looking to the future…we start back to work on The Office Season 4 in August. I should be almost fully healed by that time. The Season 3 DVD is coming out in early September. We did some DVD commentary recently. I've seen the gag reel and it is AWESOME. You will love it.
There's more, but we'll let you head on over to her blog and read the rest. Here's the cover art. Stay tuned and we'll fill you in on anything further that comes from Universal's upcoming official announcement of this release!
