Chandler Bing might have possibly been the funniest Friend - we asked the internet and that's what it said - but the guy who played him has had a hard time finding a lasting second act on the small screen.
It hasn't been for lack of trying.
Matthew Perry has starred in three major series since his star-making show finished in 2004. But all have proved one-season wonders - Studio 60 on The Sunset Strip might have been Aaron Sorkin's first outing since The West Wing but it lasted one series; Perry created his own sitcom, Mr Sunshine, about a guy running a San Diego arena but it was canned nine episodes in; His Go On, about a sports talk radio host joining a support group after the death of his wife, got decent reviews - and plenty of comparisons to Community - but lasted only one season.
Now Perry, it seems, has decided to avoid all that originality that got him nowhere and go back to two old staples of American comedy - the multicamera sitcom and yet another take on The Odd Couple, which has been a play, a film, a 1970s show, a cartoon, and an 80s remake of the 70s show.
