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.

Michael is thrilled when David Wallace sends him on a business trip to Canada; Oscar and Andy become friends when Michael decides to bring them on the trip; Jim counts the days until Pam returns from art school.

A business ethics seminar gets out of control when Michael lets everyone talk about their unethical behavior at work; Jim makes Dwight observe the company's "time theft" policy.

Someone made a huge mess in the microwave and refuses to clean it up; Michael must come to terms with the personnel changes in his staff.

Michael has Dwight go over possible birthing scenarios to prepare for the birth of Jan's baby; Michael tells Holly he will pretend not to like her for Jan's benefit.
