And to be clear (for me at least), it’s not the actress, it’s the character. There are some one note schticks that I find hilarious and could watch on a loop forever - I’ll never tire of Gale Gordon bellowing, for instance - but I just have no use for Phyllis. When she’s onscreen, I just don’t believe her. I can believe Mary Richards is a real person with a real life and a rich internal monologue. With Phyllis, I just see writers writing; I don’t find her to be a credible character where I can believe she has a life beyond her scenes.
