The Fox Files: Second Chance and Boys Will Be Boys

Matthew Perry’s first taste of TV stardom was short-lived but complicated to explain. Initially a magic sitcom about him being guided in moral growth by his elder, dead self from the future — yes, really — the show didn’t catch on and ultimately ditched all the supernatural elements to become a show about three Bud Bundys being horny in 1980s Los Angeles. It never comes together in either version of the show, but it’s a fascinating mess that precedes a lot of teen-focused shows Fox would find more success with later on.

2025-11-20 16:58:53 +0000 UTCI keep thinking that one guy sounds like Gil Chesterton. He's 95% of the way there. I'd watch a show where Gil Chesterton (dressed as an angel or not) tells people their fate. It would be good in 5-minute episodes every couple weeks. (Without all the heaven/he'll puns)
