In fact, I’d say the same about all 3 recent Matthew Perry sitcoms. I’d have thought his name alone would have resulted in someone in the UK picking them up. Admittedly ‘Mr Sunshine’ and ‘Go On’ did get cancelled after one (full) season each, but I’d still have thought someone would have taken a chance on them. What surprises me the most of his recent sitcoms is ‘The Odd Couple’ – now in its 3rd season and still no UK broadcaster. I’m amazed no one has picked it up.”

In my defence I'm not a big fan of US comedy, TBBT is about it for me. So it would be extremely presumptions to say how surprised or not that any comedy has not been picked up.
I have tried with most new comedies from the US and every one just depresses me more. So frankly I'm relieved no one has picked up this one or that one, means they might spend the money on sommat decent. Then I remember there isn't a lot that speaks to me these days.
