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.

The women of the office try to teach Dwight how to interact with female clients; Angela suspects the senator of cheating; Toby convinces some of the guys to grow mustaches.

When Angela finds out about her husband's affair, she goes to Dwight for help; Stanley and Phyllis take advantage of Jim when he needs a favor; Pete distracts Pam as she begins painting her mural.

Dwight picks up the slack when the party planning committee fails to plan a Christmas party; Darryl worries Jim has forgotten the promise he made; Pete teaches Erin about "Die Hard."

Pam accidentally brings lice into the office but lets Meredith take the blame; Jim spends a great day in Philadelphia with a potential business associate; Nellie, Phyllis and Kevin interfere with Darryl's love life.
