Matthew Perry stars as Ben Donovan, the general manager of the Sunshine Center, who every night navigates a never-ending series of bizarre requests, curious mishaps and employee screw ups to put on a show for 18,000 screaming people.
Working alongside him is his boss and arena owner Crystal, attractive, powerful and highly erratic; Alice, the cute, tomboyish marketing director and Ben's friend with benefits; Alonzo, a former basketball player, handsome and unbelievably happy; Ben's assistant, Heather, pretty, sweet, but terrifying because she once lit a boyfriend on fire; and Crystal's son, Roman, sweet-faced, clueless and Ben's newest employee.
"Mr. Sunshine" stars Matthew Perry ("Friends") as Ben, Allison Janney ("The West Wing") as Crystal, Andrea Anders as Alice, James Lesure as Alonzo and Nate Torrence as Roman.

Mr E

Jesus that actually looks good!

Perry is a very good actor imo. I really enjoyed Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip shame it was canned so I hope this survives and does well for him. I think this character will be different to Chandler Bing.

Christ.. just when the trailer couldn't possibly get any worse, they use Katrina & The Waves.

Not sure about this tbh.. and when exactly did Matthew Perry's face turn to complete rubber?

Richard Dower

It wasn't too bad, had some funny moments but i'm unsure about it from just one ep. Janney and Perry are pretty good though. It's the basic premise that i'm not sure...it reminds me alot of Studio 60, unsure if i'll stick with it.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I liked it - has a lot of potential. Hopefully it'll hold up.

pleasant Co.

I'll be watching again, if it's not something I instantly hate then it must be OK

More episodes needed to see how it develops.

Richard Dower

Yeah, i didn't hate it, just unsure how it develops.

Basq

I watched it last night and it just washed right over me...

.. not enough LOL moments to call it a good comedy and characters seem mind-numbingly 2-dimensional and clichéd.

Meh!

Boom_Bap

i think it's had it's good moments over the first 2 epsiodes. Although a little cheesey in places.
I'll keep watching to see how it progresses.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Second episode was woeful - won't be tuning in again for the next one.

wilmer mclean

Its okay. worse then the first episode. Will give it a couple of more weeks.

Ron DMC

It doesn't hold a candle to Studio 60. I'll give it one or two more episodes before I make a final decision on it.

Richard Dower

It's goose is cooked, the bear has it's next meal. Off The Map is bear feast as well!

FreudianSlippers

I just started watching, and it's actually pretty good.

terrible unfunny waste of time

Starts on RTE 2 tonight but it already has been cancelled in US

Charlie19

Ive not watched it yet. I recorded 1st episode just because it starred Perry. Why would RTE take this show on, If its all ready been canceled?

Axwell

More than likely cos the rights to it were cheap and it fills a slot.

Charlie19

I was wondering why I had not seen any add for it. Hate the way RTE do this, Same with Parenthood. Shown at ridiculous times and without warning.
