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.

Halloween is not much fun for Michael when he learns he must fire someone; Jim and Pam put Dwight's CV on the internet.

Pam is embarrassed when no one else at corporate wears a costume on Halloween; Holly and Michael get shocking news from corporate; Dwight tries to get under Andy's skin.

The office plans a haunted house for children in the community; Michael falls into a koi pond at an important business meeting.

Michael freaks out when Darryl goes over his head and takes an idea to corporate; a Halloween costume contest puts the office in a competitive mood.
