I saw Matthew Perry on The Graham Norton Show and was stunned to learn that season 2 was coming up.

Just how many shows has he had that have come and gone since Friends?

Weeeelllll, consider Alfonso’s talent and explain why he had a TV career in the first place. If you think about it, he’s doing great!

I was talking about this Thursday evening at a party. Apparently a friend’s brother’s family is going to be on the show soon.

We were all surprised. That it still existed, that is.

“Long since”??? It debuted less than a year ago. I’ve got stuff in my fridge older than that.

Regarding the new _The Odd Couple_. It was the highest rated new show of last season.

Perry was on something plugging it recently and they showed a clip. It was awful. I’ve seen other clips. All awful.

(It’s also clear from interviews that the two stars don’t get along at all.)

How does a show become a hit when they can’t even find a funny clip to promo?

What? It’s on after what? People still watch shows in order? You’re kidding me.

I will answer my own question. He has had:

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - 22 episodes  
Mr. Sunshine - 13 episodes  
Go On - 22 episodes  
The Odd Couple - 12 episodes and running.

3 sitcoms and 1 comedy-drama.

Hey, he gets work.
