In "Prince Family Paper," the Scranton Gang tackled three age-old dilemmas: the Darwinistic nature of capitalism, societal definitions of beauty and which restaurant is better, IHOP or Denny's. Michael and Dwight embark on a surveillance mission to capture intelligence on a small family-owned paper supply business, while the rest of the crew gets into a passionate debate about the hotness (or notness) of Hilary Swank.

Premise: NBC version of the hit British mockumentary about lackluster daily life at a paper-supply company, overseen by a clueless incompetent with an inflated self-image. His staff includes his arrogant, driven kiss-up assistant; a likable but bored sales rep who amuses himself by getting on the assistant's nerves; and the personable receptionist who bears the brunt of the boss' bad jokes.
