What happens

La Job is a Canadian French-language comedy television series set in Montreal, Quebec. It is an adaptation of the British show The Office. Produced by Anne-Marie Losique's Image Diffusion International, it has been broadcast for a limited number of viewers on Bell Satellite TV satellite television, beginning on October 9, 2006 and ended on December 25, 2006 for 12 episodes until a bonus epilogue episode aired on January 15, 2007. It was later seen by a wider audience on the public broadcaster Radio-Canada (starting in January 2007) and specialty channel ARTV (starting in the third quarter of the same year). It is the third official foreign adaptation of the concept, and the second in a language other than English. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
