About The Office

'The Office' is an award-winning comedy series on NBC that follows Michael Scott (Steve Carell), the naive regional manager of the Scranton branch of the paper company Dunder Mifflin, and his employees.

At a small regional branch of the paper company Dunder Mifflin, a ragtag team of paper salespersons, accountants, etc. is led by their manager, Michael Scott. Michael's problem is that, in an effort to feel loved, he treats his employees as friends, rather than subordinates.

'The Office' is famous for its characters, from Michael, who constantly breaks workplace norms and creates his own standards for political correctness, to Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the over-the-top salesman and beet farmer who is overly devoted to his job, there are more than enough laughs to be had just at their expense. The series also follows the relationship between Jim and Pam.

'The Office' began with a documentary film crew entering to film a typical business environment for a TV special. After the pilot episode, their role is never mentioned again, but the film style still reflects the fact that they are carrying cameras and have to peek through blinds and windows into private meetings to see the action.

'The Office' airs during NBC's Thursday night comedy lineup, and also runs in syndication on TBS and FOX.
