This November Orbit Showtime marks the return of Scranton's most outrageous workforce in the fifth hilarious season of The Office exclusively on Showcomedy with a double bill every Saturday and Sunday at 8pm.

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. Regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell, Get Smart, Little Miss Sunshine) is a single, middle-aged man who is the strangely 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 only tolerate his inappropriate behavior because he signs their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked and to look cool, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic.

The season five premiere sees Jim asking Pam to marry him. Meanwhile the rest of the episode revolves around the office's attempt to win a weight loss contest for more vacation days!
