Although it began as a spin-off to The Office, Daniels and Schur have since created a stand-alone series that shares that show's single-camera, mockumentary filming style, but differs in its optimistic tone.
The Office is a popular mockumentary/sitcom that was first made in the United Kingdom and has now been remade in many other countries, with overall viewership in the hundreds of millions worldwide. The most popular and lengthy version has proven to be the U.S. version, which has lasted for eight seasons and 164 episodes as of January 2012. The German version is also still in production and has seen 46 episodes over five seasons.
South Park is an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network.

The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town.
House (also known as House, M.D.) is an American television medical drama that debuted on the Fox network on November 16, 2004.

Unzip the package into your working directory and include them in your head section like this. Make sure you include jQuery before the plugin.
<head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/jquery.sliderTabs.min.css"> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="js/jquery.sliderTabs.min.js"></script> </head>
First make a div element including first a list of links for tabs and the same number of div elements afterwards for panels. To link the div panels to the tabs, make sure that the href attribute of the tab links is '#IdOfPanel'. Note that list of tabs is required markup even if you plan on disabling tabs as other parts of the plugin like indicators depend on these declarations. Here's a basic example.
<div id="mySliderTabs">
<!-- Unordered list representing the tabs -->
<ul>
<li><a href="#canyon">The Grand Canyon</a></li>
<li><a href="#taj">The Taj Mahal</a></li>
<li><a href="#bigben">Big Ben</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- Afterwards, include the div panels representing the panels of our slider -->
<div id="canyon">
<h3>The Grand Canyon</h3>
<!-- rest of the panel content -->
</div>
<div id="taj">
<h3>The Taj Mahal</h3>
<!-- rest of the panel content -->
</div>
<div id="bigben">
<h3>Big Ben</h3>
<!-- rest of the panel content -->
</div>
</div>
Then select the container div with jQuery and call sliderTabs() on it.
var slider = $("div#mySliderTabs").sliderTabs();
... or specify some options. View a full list of available options in the next section.
var slider = $("div#mySliderTabs").sliderTabs({
autoplay: true,
