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.

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.

Everyone abuses the office's new espresso machine; Dwight takes Clark on a sales call; Darryl goes for an interview at Jim's company; Pam surprises Jim with a visit.

Dwight tries to stop Darryl from leaving; Jim misses Cece's first recital because of work, upsetting Pam; Nellie exposes Erin and Pete.

David Wallace asks Dwight to find a new part-time salesman who will fill in for Jim; Pam looks for a new desk mate; Erin searches for her birth parents.
