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.

Michael is surprisingly cheerful after learning bad news about Donna; new parents Pam and Jim have a hard time staying awake at the office; Dwight refuses to honor a contract.

When the press learns that Sabre's printers catch on fire, Jo tries to find out who the whistle-blower is.

Michael refuses to fire the new office assistant (Evan Peters) when people complain about his bad attitude; Pam tries to impress Jim by pulling an office prank.

Jim heads a team that interviews applicants, including several co-workers; Dwight tries to reassert himself as a contender.
