Dave and Thomas Pictures

One of our favorite television programs is the U.S. adaptation of "The Office." The original office aired in the U.K. and was the creation of series creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant who went on after this show and created the fantastic "Extras."


(write-up via Wikipedia) "The Office" is an award-winning American television comedy that portrays the daily lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictitious Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Although fictional and scripted, the show takes the form of a documentary, with the presence of the camera openly acknowledged.

Based on the British series of the same name, it was adapted for U.S. audiences by executive producer Greg Daniels, a veteran writer of Saturday Night Live, King of the Hill and The Simpsons. Original series creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have production credits on the show, and wrote an episode for the show's third season. "
