Despite its often crazy storylines, its eccentric boss that wanted to be more like a friend than anything else, and an interim manager who fired a gun in the office on his very first day, The Office was essentially based around a typical American workplace.
The characters were generally just normal people who had to deal with every day issues like annoying co-workers, broken copiers, and poor health plans, but there is no doubt that they were a family. The people of Dunder Mifflin were actually closer than family a lot of the time.
This showed on those occasions when the series went away from the office. Even outside the walls of work, dynamics were still the same, and Michael never truly switched off from being a boss and trying to teach everyone. Despite the title of the show, it really didn't need to be set in the office for an episode to work.
Whether at a party, a wedding, or a picnic, there was so much more to The Office than Dunder Mifflin. In fact, some of its best ever episodes took place outside of the building from which it took its name./quote]
