Based on the popular British series of the same name, this faster-paced American version follows the daily interactions of a group of idiosyncratic office employees at paper company Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch via a documentary film crew’s cameras. Regional manager Michael thinks he’s the coolest, funniest, best boss ever – which, of course, makes him the uncoolest, most obnoxious and annoying boss as far as his staff are concerned. Salesman Jim Halpert has always loved receptionist Pam Beesly and loves sabotaging his cube-mate, the know-it-all Dwight Schrute. Ryan Howard started as a young, smart, self-possessed temp, but quickly figured out the real office politics despite Michael’s attempts to instill the official point-of-view, and gets himself a job at corporate HQ in New York. The staff is rounded out by quiet Phyllis Lapin Vance, beaten down by the working life Stanley Hudson, office alcoholic Meredith Palmer, up-tight Angela Martin, formerly closeted homosexual Oscar Martinez, stocky and uncouth Kevin Malone, ambivalent kleptomaniac Creed Bratton, Sad Sack HR rep Toby Flenderson, persistently love-struck Kelly Kapoor, icy corporate manager turned Michael’s girlfriend Jan Levinson, former Stamford branch denizen and Cornell graduate Andy Bernard, warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin, and Pam’s ex-fiancé Roy Anderson.
