From 2005 to 2013, The Office was a mockumentary series portraying the daily working lives of Dunder Mifflin regional manager Michael Scott, assistant to the regional manager Dwight Schrute, salesman Jim Halpert, receptionist Pam Beesly and accountant Angela Martin. In the third season, the show added some of its fan-favorite characters, including Andy Bernard.
