An old Mathew Perry sitcom from the 80's

Does anyone remember "Second Chance"? The premise of the show was that this guy died and got to be an angel for himself, cept himself as a teenager. The teenager was played by Mathew Perry.

There was a spin off of this show, or a total reworking of the show since I don't remember much about it. That was "Boys Will Be Boys".

It centered around Mathew Perry's character and seemed to be much better than "Second Chance".

This was one of the earliest Fox shows. Kiel Martin from "Hill Street Blues" played the elder Perry character in "Second Chance". When Martin was dropped, the whole "angel" gimmick was dropped as well, and the show was renamed "Boys Will Be Boys". I believe it was up against "Facts of Life" at the time on Saturday nights, and the promos went something like "These boys are learning the real facts of life!"

yeah the early days of Fox were pretty great from what I remember. Married With Children was just starting out, 21 Jump Street etc

Ah yes, the good old days.

When Fox gave us wonderful programs like
"Down And Out In Beverly Hills," and "Women In Prison"
