Hmm… tonight’s the night. Matthew
Perry returns to network television. He tried once before after Friends
went off the air. And we admit,
we were big fans of Studio 60 on The
Sunset Strip
. The fact that it never found an audience and was canceled
after 20 episodes is really no indication of the quality of the show. It was
smart, funny and, unfortunately, left a lot of really interesting storylines
hanging.

smart, funny and, unfortunately, left a lot of really interesting storylines
hanging.But we have to admit we don’t hold out a lot of hope for Mr. Sunshine. We’ll be 100% honest to say that we have not yet seen the full pilot. But we feel like we’ve seen enough to get the gist. Perry plays the self-involved manager of a sports facility.
The thing that scares us most is the
glimpses that we’ve had of the usually flawless Allison Janney. Sadly she seems
like she’s chewing up the scenery in the snippets we’ve seen of her Mr. Sunshine performance.
Don’t get us wrong, we’d love to see
Perry succeed. We’re thrilled that Matt LeBlanc is getting a chance to rebound
from Joey
with his new Showtime
series Episodes. We are huge fans of
Lisa Kudrow’s Who Do You Think You Are?
And if we run out of good TV to watch, we’ll occasionally give Cougar Town a go. Heck, if Gunther had a
show we’d probably check it out.

So we’ll check out Mr. Sunshine when it premieres tonight
at 9:30 p.m. EST/8:30 p.m. Central on ABC.
