Season 1, Episode 1
4/10
Pilot
2 December 2018
This new Matthew Perry vehicle sees him play Ben, the manager of the Sunshine Center Arena in San Diego.

It is Ben's 40th birthday. He is committed to his job, selfish and alone. He has a casual relationship with Alice, who is about to dump him.

His boss, the owner of the arena, Crystal (Allison Janney) is rather odd and maybe even crazy. She wants Ben to employ her son who she knows little about.

Ben has to fix everything and on his birthday he needs to melt the ice hockey rink so the circus can perform. There is also an elephant on the loose.

Perry became famous and rich on Friends. He also had lots of issues, you can see his body going up and down in weight as Friends went on.

In Mr Sunshine, Perry is back doing comedy. Perry co-created the show and co-wrote the first episode. I suspect he did not write any of the jokes, as it not got any. I really did not find the pilot funny.
