Members DRW50 Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 Very sorry to hear about Matthew. I remember his struggles but he always fought so hard. I was never involved with Friends but he was always a very charismatic and likeable actor. Just recently I was watching some of his short show with Valerie Bertinelli, Sydney, and he was so charming, as he never stopped being. My thoughts are with all of his fans here, and with his loved ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted October 29, 2023 Administrator Share Posted October 29, 2023 Friends is one of my all time favourite shows. This one hurts. RIP Matthew. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 Did anyone read his recent memoir? A few months ago, I listened to the audiobook and it really seemed like he had been engaged in a life or death struggle to stay sober.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 I am typically not a sitcom fan but FRIENDS got me & I got it & Chandler was my character all the way! Also I would mention this show that was so good but failed, STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. They made 22 episodes. NBC aired 10. In honor of Matthew Perry I want someone to air THE LOST EPISODES! Rest in Peace, you funny tortured man! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 Donna, this is once again not true. The entire season of Studio 60 aired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Okay. I just watched an interview with Matthew Perry in which he said only 10 episodes aired. Just a teensy bit before the 2:00 mark. No idea why he would've said so. Not important. Obvi all aired & all currently available, too. He is so good in it. https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/studio-60-on-the-sunset-strip Edited October 29, 2023 by Donna L.

Members I Am A Swede Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 What a sad way to start the day. Please register in order to view this content I was never a huge fan of "Friends", though I did enjoy the first seasons, but it's impossible to deny its success, and most of that was due to the chemistry between the actors, including Matthew. He had great comedic timing, and a very likeable presence. Of course his subsequent struggles have been no secret, so while his death is sad it's not entirely surprising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 The first year of Friends I watched because of Matthew Perry. I first saw him on Growing Pains. Liked him in the West Wing. RIP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Studio 60 aired to completion for 22 episodes. Once it flopped they just burned off the last six episodes after several months' hiatus in the summer. In any event this is all wildly off-topic.

Members janea4old Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Matthew Perry interviewed Nov 22, 2022 by Tom Power. It's long but totally worth watching the whole thing. Very moving. Edited October 29, 2023 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 29, 2023 Members Share Posted October 29, 2023 If people can, it’s is really enlightening to read his memoir. He was crystal clear about his struggles and the sources as well as his knowledge that his struggles can and will help others and possibly avoid the struggles that he had endured. It might be too haunting to listen to the audiobook at this particular moment because he is the narrator and it is his voice that the listener will hear. His role as Sandy, Carol’s boyfriend is probably the first time many of us of a certain age group first noticed the presence and talent of Matthew Perry. A deeply charismatic and tragic character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
