Set in Scranton, Pennsylvania The Office stars Steve Carell, winner of his own Golden Globe for best performance in 2006 for his portrayal of the brash, over-bearing boss with a heart of gold Michael Scott. This is one of the funniest shows on television. Mundane, however, is one thing The Office isn't. Much like its British counterpart, the American remake is a hilarious look at how the staff of a paper company survive the mundanities of their daily work life. However, anyone who has watched the US version of the show will know that none of the side-splitting gags, gleeful awkwardness and tear-jerking pathos have been lost in translation. After all the ground-breaking Brit-com had taken home six BAFTAS and a Golden Globe amongst its sizeable awards haul and built a huge fanbase the world over. Guest stars include: Stephen Collins (as Andy's father), Josh Groban (as Andy's brother) and Maura Tierney (as Robert California's wife).It was always going to be a brave move remaking Ricky Gervais's classic mockumentary The Office. Also: Unhappy, and unfulfilled, office secretary Erin (Ellie Kemper) decides not to return to Dunder Mifflin Scranton after a special project takes her to Sabre headquarters in Florida, and Andy must head south on a mission to bring her back. Later in the season, Pam (Jenna Fischer) prepares to go on maternity leave when she is expecting her second child, but worries that her temp replacement Cathy Simms (Lindsey Broad) may be too pretty, perhaps causing Jim (John Krasinski) to have a wandering eye. Much of the early season episodes focus on Andy's attempts to motivate and inspire his new reports. James Spader costars as Robert California, the newly appointed CEO of Dunder Mifflin's parent company, Sabre. Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) has assumed the role of regional manager after Deangelo Vickers' (Will Ferrell) quick flame out at the end of the seventh season. Season 8 marks the first season of the post-Michael Scott (Steve Carell) era.
