This U.S. adaptation -- set at a paper company based in Scranton, Pa. -- has a similar documentary style to that of the Ricky Gervais-led British original. It features the Dunder-Mifflin staff, which includes characters based on roles in the British show -- and, quite possibly, people with whom you work in your office. There's Jim, the likable employee who's a bit of an every man. Jim has a thing for receptionist-turned-sales-rep Pam -- because office romances are always a good idea! There's also Dwight, the co-worker who is successful but devoid of social skills and common sense.
After 11 years of preparation, Michael is ready to debut his action movie.
Dunder Mifflin traveling salesman Todd Packer comes to the office looking for a desk job; Andy fights Pam for a new computer.
Michael decides to ask Holly to marry him; the office has a garage sale.
Everyone hopes to make good first impressions with the new manager, Deangelo Vickers.
