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.
When Jan conducts a seminar for the female employees, Michael takes the guys to the warehouse for some male bonding.
Michael visits corporate headquarters in New York on Valentine's Day.
When Dwight, who has a fear of public speaking, is asked to give a speech at a sales convention, he turns to Michael for help.
Michael strikes up a friendship with the 5-year-old daughter of his enemy when children visit the office.
