It took her about 5 years after it ended to appreciate it.

"Because when you're doing something like that, all anybody says is, 'Oh my god. The show. Oh my god. It's the most amazing [thing]!' And you don't wanna hear that anymore. You don't," she said on a recent episode of the Smartless podcast, which is hosted by fellow actors Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes.
"I suddenly got what they were talking about, like, five years after the show ended," Anderson said. "I was kinda like, 'Yeah. That was kinda cool. I was on this really cool show.'"
Anderson said she had just needed some space after so long in the role.
“You know what happens when you, you're on a long running show is everything becomes so enmeshed and and not incestuous, but you literally feel like you're, you're living and breathing this, you know, the entire crew, the entire experience," she said. "And so I think by the time we were done after — you know, we did nine years — and I think I was well ready for it to be over." -

I dunno if you look at some films from the 50's a lot of them just went with it and had fun. than you have Sharknado who the director was once on here this was after the 1st film came out. at least he said he was and who knows maybe it was? where he he said that Nobody took the film serious at all not anyone on the entire Crew weather its was in front of the camera or behind it. they just went with it and had fun. with Gillian though I don't think she really gave the show much thought she was there for the work I think.
