'Camping' star Jennifer Garner loves the "familial feel" of being back on a TV show's set

She has returned to television after almost a decade and Jennifer Garner still finds it exciting to take one episode at a time.
PUBLISHED OCT 17, 2018

Although 'Camping' star, Jennifer Garner, has stated that an 'Alias' reboot is happening and she would be "very angry" if she isn't called as a guest on the show, probably her tenure with 'Camping' will help her not to commit to any TV series like 'Alias' which ran 22 episodes in a single year. However, be it 'Camping' or the 'Alias' reboot (where it is still unsure if she will return), Garner certainly is enjoying the old familial feel she is getting on the set of a television show. 

While her return to television has been marked as "unlikable" by critics for her character Kathryn in 'Camping', Garner confessed to The Chicago Tribune that she has learned to grow in love with her character. Garner stars in 'Camping' as an excessively controlling woman who plans for a weekend camping trip for her husband, Walt's (played by David Tennant) 45th birthday, but things go horribly wrong. She faces her complete opposite- the free-spirited Jandice played by Juliette Lewis- and her friends, too, begin to ignore her instructions. However, no matter how much her character has been criticized for not being conventionally likable enough, Garner is thrilled to be back on TV.
