"The Office" that You Wish You Worked In

The hit NBC series, The Office, is an Emmy Award and Peabody Award winning television series. The Office is based on the popular British television series of the same name. The show focuses on the lackluster daily life of employees working at Dunder Mifflin, a fictional paper supply, company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The show honors the daily drudgery of office life with a superb ensemble cast in this weekly comedy. Although the show is both fictional and scripted, it takes the form of a documentary with the presence of the camera often acknowledged.

The Office was developed for American audiences by Greg Daniels, whose impressive writing credits include Saturday Night Live, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons. It is co-produced by Greg Daniels' Deedle-Dee Productions and Reveille Productions, in association with NBC Universal Television Studio. NBC commissioned the American version of The Office after the original British series won two Golden Globe awards. The American version is notably more fast-paced than the original British series. All of the characters were renamed for the American series.
