The years before the "friends" were harsh for that beloved Sitkom's Theevouses, with each of the casts struggling through bites in movies and unsuccessful sitcom. Matthew Perry was no exception. At one point, he found himself starring in the fox of the fox who started his life as a "second chance" before turning into "guys will be boys" and eventually give up, after not even repetition of the series proved successful.

After making his first appearance on the screen in the "240-Robert" TV, Perry continued to appear in the plethomy of Sitkomi during the 1980s, in 1990, landing the guest roles of "Charles in charge" and "Silver spoons" before securing a repetitive role in Sydni in 1990. But in 1990 there were many failures. Before "Friends", Perry starred in Sitkom that is impossible to see today In the form of "home free", a seasonal show seen by the actor as a man who lives with his mother only for his sister to go back and turn his life upside down. Wasn't a hit. Nor was Lax 2194, a show for which Perry shot a pilot that almost made him miss Chandler in "Friends".

But the "second chance" is a particularly strange entry into the actor's early career, mostly because it was two shows in one - none of them were a hit. "Second Chance" was the first main role of Perry on TV Show and was created by David W. Dulon and Gary Menter, the same duo behind the very popular series "Punky Brucer". Their sitcom led by Matthew Perry was nowhere near so popular. That is to say that it was a complete failure even though it was given the chance to renovate its premise and be re -introduced after the first season with a whole new look.

"Second Chance" debuted as part of the original lineup of Fox's TV Weekend on September 26, 1987 and lasted until November 28 of the same year. The show focused on Charles Russell (Kiel Martin), who, after dying in the drift crash in 2011, got another chance in life. But instead of being sent back to old existence, he was sent back to earth in 1987 to behave as a mentor to his teenage self. Teenager Charles, known as Chaz, plays Perry who died in 2023And while he is often surrounded by his best friends Francis "Buch" Lotabucci (William Gallo) and Eugene Bluberman (Demian Slade), he also needs exactly that kind of father figure of Martin Russell - although he has no idea this mentor is actually an older version of himself.

While Francis and Eugene are constantly persuading Jazz to participate in their wrong schemes, Charles acts as a more mature presence, advising his younger me and led him through adolescence. All the time, St. Peter (Josephosef Maher) sees Charles' efforts and guarantees that it acts as a model of positive role in the life of the young chaz.

Unfortunately, the "second chance" could not get the ratings needed to justify its ongoing existence. At that time, Fox's network existed only less than a year and still found its place among the big boys. The network was two years away from the Simpsons launch that would prove to be a show that really put Fox on the map with its irreversible style. Although 'Married ... with children "will eventually prove to be the forerunner In the "Simpsons" in this regard, it began to broadcast only on April 5, 1987. As such, when he debuted a "second chance", Fox was still trying to make the health success of other networks. Unfortunately, the offer to focus on a family focused on Perry simply could not bring home the goods. So what did Fox do? They gave her a second chance to the "second chance".

"The Second Chance" ended its first season on November 28, 1987. The ratings were not where they were supposed to be, but instead of an ax, Fox gave David W. Dulon and Gary Menter a chance to rewrite the show. The result was "the boys will be boys". This renovated version of "Second Chance" debuted in January 1988 and arrived without all the supernatural elements that defined the initial ominery of the sithom. Instead, "boys will be boys" debuted at Sans Kiel Martin and Josephosef Maher, with older Charles Russell and St. Peter written outside the show.

In their new form, "boys will be boys" were primarily focused on Matthew Perry Jaz and his friends Buch and Eugene. After Buch moved to the same apartment above the garage that previously occupied Martin, Charles, Jaz joined him and both essentially became roommates, while still lived in the mother of Jazz, Helen's home (Randy Heller). Two new main characters were added in the form of Debbie Miller at Terry Even, who becomes the girlfriend of Jazz, and Alex by Adam Sadovski, a school friend of Jazz. In addition to the newly -made thematic song and more new slots during the time, these changes were intended to save what was a disappointing sitcom. Unfortunately, none of this worked and in May 1988 Fox canceled the series after 21 episode.

Shortly thereafter, Matthew Perry will make his film debut in "One Night in Jimmi Rurdon's Life". After three episodes of the guest of "growing pain", he continued to appear on sithoms, including the main role of "Sydney" and a guest post at "Beverly Hills, 90210". After landing the Chandler Bing section of "Friends", everything has changed, and although he will continue to have trouble appearing on the ground in his post-"friends" years-like for example when Perry restarted the desired film as a failed sitcom -His day of trying to break through the strange and neglected television comedies that are friendly in the family were behind him.
