Mr Sunshine (2011-12)

Created by Matthew Perry, Alex Barnow and Marc Firek. A fairly pleasing series in which Perry is the manager of a huge stadium dealing with erratic boss Allison Janney, her maladapted son Nate Torrence, marketing director Andrea Anders and love rival James Lesure (also in Studio 60), and arsonist Portia Doubleday.

Exec producer Thomas Schlamme was known to us as a West Wing producer.

But it wasn't good enough and you can see why after 13 episodes it wasn't recommissioned.

Q laughed most times at the 'Mr. Sunshine' jingle. She thought Matty (who's the main reason for watching it) was 'wired'.

Actually, I say the main reason, but it gives you a chance to admire Allison Janney again, a hard-working, always reliable performer who finally achieved the big time with I, Tonya in 2017.
