I’d say The (US) Office’s highs might be a little higher than P&R’s, but P&R had an optimism that kept it better for longer, or at least for a longer percentage of its run. IMHO The Office already had the check-fuel light on by the time Jim and Pam got married, and by the end it was just some strangers physically pushing the thing a couple miles farther down the road. P&R for me didn’t start declining until they got back from London, and S6 still had a lot of good stuff. I’d have to look into it, but I really do feel like they thought that was the end, but somehow got renewed for S7 and had to do the entire weird coda of a season with a three year time skip that, I guess, made it technically Sci Fi, LOL
