I'll Be There For You

When people tell you, "I've got good news and bad news", which do you ask for first?

I've got both.

Two of your favorite FRIENDS are returning to television - Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc.

Welllll...first, I'm giving you the bad news:

Matthew Perry is coming to ABC in a new series called "Mr. Sunshine". Now, I've always liked Perry, even if he sorta always plays the Chandlerish character. That's cool. It's comforting and dependable, like when you're channel surfing and have to stop to watch Rocky or Pretty Woman (again). Adrian! Work it, girl...you own it!

Never gets old.

So, I was sorta psyched to watch this promo and see what kind of hijinks the latest Chandler incarnation would get into.

And then I watched. Oh dear God, I watched. All 3 minutes-OH-DEAR-GOD-HOW-MUCH-LONGER-IS-THIS and one seconds of it, I watched. Perry is a turning-40-having-a-midlife-crisis guy who manages - WAIT FOR IT! - a stadium. Hilarious, right? Um, not so much.



Maybe it's just a bad teaser. Maybe it'll be better than it looks. Maybe the world is flat.

Not exactly holding my breath.

On a lighter note, Matt LeBlanc's comeback (Is my spin thru IMDB right? Has he really done NOTHING since JOEY?) on Showtime has me calling up my cable provider and adding the pay channel to my lineup.

Matt LeBlanc plays...Matt LeBlanc. Maybe this joke will get old. I hope not. The premise centers around producers bringing a British show to America. They want to dumb it down, so they cast - who else? - Matt LeBlanc. Brilliant!



All I can say is...How YOU doin'?
