I heart Pam Beesly. Always have. The only sane woman working in "The Office", Beesly makes normalcy look so attractive I want to make sexy time with her.
Given that, it's a relief that real-life Beesly is a sweetheart too. Actress Jenna Fischer has always struck me as one of the proverbial good guys, but you can honestly never tell with those L.A. types (Ellen Pompeo on "Punked", anyone?). With Fischer, however, I'm glad to say that there's definitive proof of her basic decency.
It's not just the advice and encouragement that she pours out to aspiring actors. It's also that, in this time of strikes, she makes a damned good spokeswoman.
Even though she's only a fledgling writer, she certainly understands what's at stake. In posts on her blog here and here, she makes an intelligent, articulate, and impassioned argument for why the strike is necessary. When you consider that the strike isn't doing her any favors, and that it's in fact cutting to nada her steady "Office" income, it's even more obvious that this is a woman with a good head on her shoulders. A cynic might think that she's just looking out for her future earnings, but I think her track record more than speaks for itself.
Besides, she's a fan of "Friday Night Lights", so she must be on the side of the angels. And her call-to-arms that we must "End the Strike for Riggins!"? Easily the best motivator that I've heard.
Ah. Screw that. Easily the best motivator, ever.
"The Office" has officially stopped production, so there will be no new episodes until the strike ends.
"Friday Night Lights", however, is still on NBC, on Fridays at 9 pm / 8 pm central.
