Is series 'the office' scripted?!
Question: Yes, the office is scripted. However, many of the actors are well known for Improv (improvising) and when it works during filiming, it is retained in the episode. Steve Carrell is known for this as is Rainn Wilson. Others contribute as well. In the past the improv led to postings on YouTube (the more you know joke commercials) until NBC dissassociated itself from that website.

Yes, it is. However, many of the actors have improv experience and thus some unscripted bits sometimes make it in. (See the commentary on the DVDs for more info.)
