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

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

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 tend to agree. The show was definitely different, but it was still funny.

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.

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I didn't like most of the new characters. Robert California was even worse. But I still liked the episodes overall.

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 day ago

Yep fair enough

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She was good as Donna in Dr. Who

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 find her character in The Office to be unwatchable, just too much cringe for me.

But she has performed very well in other roles.
