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.
Corporate forces Michael into counseling with Toby; Dwight seeks revenge after a shop owner snubs him; Pam tries to change her job title.
Andy invites the office to a play he is in, hoping that Erin will attend; Jim and Pam struggle with their incompetent babysitter.
Thinking he has herpes, Michael contacts all his ex-girlfriends; Andy holds a sex education meeting for the office.
Michael, Dwight and Jim set up a sting after a competing sales associate steals a client; Andy starts a band.
