The Office is Now on The CW Austin

(CW) - The 9-to-5 comedy is now on five nights a week at The CW Austin.

A fly-on-the-wall "docu-reality" parody about modern American office life, "The Office" delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott is a single, middle-aged man and the boastful tour guide for the documentary.

With unshaken enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of business wisdom and his employees' cool friend. He has no clue that his employees tolerate his inappropriate behavior only because he signs their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic. His prized possession is his "World's Greatest Boss" mug -- which he had to buy for himself.

Pam Beesly is the reasonable and friendly office receptionist who bears the brunt of Michael's routines. The bright spots in Pam's day are her conversations with Jim Halpert, a likable sales rep with a good sense of humor who should have found a better job years ago, but is too comfortable with his office mates and routine to leave.

Jim shares his working space with Dwight Schrute, the arrogant assistant to the regional manager. Dwight is immensely irritating to everyone else in the office but Jim spends a majority of his time finding new, interesting ways to drive Dwight crazy.
