Review - Mr. Sunshine Season 1 Episode 1 Pilot

Mr. Sunshine has a very solid cast, consisting of Matthew Perry, Andrea Anders, Jorge Garcia, and Allison Janney among others. It has a quirky premise about this stadium where they work, which allows for random performers to show up in each episode.

Unfortunately, Mr. Sunshine also tries to do more with the main character Ben Donovan (Perry) by having him immediately change his mindset because Alice (Anders) wants a real relationship with another guy. Between the marginally funny scenes of clowns, ethnic children and an elephant, Ben is somehow changed to the point where he wants to be with Alice on a permanent basis. I have a hard time buying that, but I'll be tuning in later to see how this progresses.

Score: 8.3/10
