    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

      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.

      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!

    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 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.
