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.

Ryan invites Michael to be a guest speaker at his business school; Dwight battles a bat that is loose in the office; Pam invites co-workers to her first art show.

Michael and Jan make their relationship public during a party; Jim meets Karen's ex; the staff goes to happy hour for drinks.

Darryl meets with Michael to negotiate a pay increase; Jim deals with the consequences of Pam's confession to Roy.

Andy returns from anger-management classes, planning to make a fresh start with his co-workers; Michael and Dwight try to illustrate the dangers of the workplace.
