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.

Staffers in the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin become obsessed with their weight in the wake of corporate weight-loss initiatives; Michael pursues a friendship with Holly; Jim misses Pam, who is away at art school.

Michael's relationship with the new vice president gets increasingly tense; Pam finds the new copier a challenge.

Jim faces Charles during a soccer game in the Dunder Mifflin parking lot; Michael finds himself afraid to face the workday.

Dwight and Andy plan a hunting trip; Charles asks Jim for a "rundown", and Jim tries to figure out what that is; Michael hosts a paper and pancakes luncheon.
