I do think we missed out in a lot of comedy if there had been a third season of Phyllis,Bess giving birth while Phyllis tries to get het to hospital,Phyllis coping with being a Grandmother.
I've been watching Phyllis again,the second season in the office doesn't work for me.

I think CBS gave up on this show when the ratings didn't follow the timeslot change in the second season.

I think the problem was the fact that the show had little direction. Phyllis working in a photo studio made little sense - I could have understood it better if she went into business for herself (with the money Lars left her) - maybe as an interior decorator, or as a caterer. That would have given her more areas to explore, more characters to meet each week and interact with.

That would've made sense. I could totally see Phyllis trying to become a caterer. A decorator would've been a scream, seeing is that's what Rhoda did for a living!!
