It's okay Jenna, we know you can't say any different.
I love Jenna Fischer, but I mean, this was like the top of her career too unfortunately. She's always going to be pam Beasley. So I wouldn't expect her to say anything different
I tend to agree. The show was definitely different, but it was still funny.
No. It was purge cringe and hey let's bang out some more over the top stories for the love of money. Like what if since Micheal Scott left everyone became Michael Scott.
Agreed. The focus on Andy was sincerely hard to watch. Season 8 with James Spader definitely had its moments, but Season 9 with that weird meta storyline with the cameraman? What the FUCK was that, come on! I’m here for a laugh, not to watch Jim and Pam’s marriage fall apart!
Also Jim giving up athlead because Pam didn't want to move... Literally his dream job in his hands
Jenna Fischer ‘Says’ the later ‘seasons’ of ‘The Office’ are ‘really good’ despite ‘Belief’ that the ‘Show’ was ‘Treading Water’ after ‘Steve’ Carell’s exit
I enjoyed every episode of the Office. I think the later seasons are just judged against the earlier seasons.
I think the same could be said about The Simpsons.
I find Catherine tate unwatchable. Can't watch it past her.
She was good as Donna in Dr. Who
Don't watch that so dunno
Neither does she, so it's fine.
(She was a major character for a season. And you probably know more about the show than she does. She's has demonstrated her lack of knowledge in interviews and on panel shows.)
I didn't like most of the new characters. Robert California was even worse. But I still liked the episodes overall.
Yep fair enough
I find her character in The Office to be unwatchable, just too much cringe for me.
But she has performed very well in other roles.
I think I kinda agree. There are some not great ones, but I think it holds up until the last season or so (when they started writing Andy weird after a long, imo quality redemption earlier in the show, forcing Nellie to be a thing, and injecting odd drama into Pam and Jim's relationship). But even then, it kind of saves itself with a good, heartfelt finale. But up until then, even if it's not quite as good as some of the funniest earliest highs, it's still a good show.
Disagree
Well that's sweet of her, she's kidding herself, but it's a very nice sentiment.
Early The Office is up there with some of the best comedy ever written IMO. The later seasons are a spin-off doing slapstick cartoonish comedy, which is funny in it's own way, like actual cartoons are funny still as an adult.
The storylines aren't and honestly weren't ever good, except for Michael Scott Paper Company which was an amazing idea
