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.
Meredith's hair catches fire at Phyllis' Moroccan-themed Christmas party; Dwight corners the market on the hottest toy of the holiday season.
Andy remains unaware of Angela's affair with Dwight; Michael is nervous about a corporate meeting with Wallace.
Michael and Dwight go undercover to learn about a competitor; employees hold a debate to decide whether an actress is hot.
Dwight must make amends with the office after his fire-safety seminar goes awry; Michael tries to get his employees to relax; Andy becomes convinced that Pam and Jim are film gurus.
