Matthew Perry on new show 'Go On': 'It's better than Mr Sunshine'

Matthew Perry has insisted that his new show Go On is better than previous effort Mr Sunshine.

Former Friends star Perry co-created ABC comedy Mr Sunshine in 2011, but the show was axed after just a few episodes.



Of his new NBC series Go On - created by Friends writer Scott Silveri - Perry told reporters: "Scott is just a better writer than I am.

"The good and bad news is that Scott created a TV show... for me [that's] better than the one I created for myself."

Since Friends concluded in 2004, Perry has also starred in NBC's Aaron Sorkin drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which was again cancelled after a single season.

Go On will star the 42-year-old actor as Ryan King, a sportscaster struggling to move on from the loss of his wife.

NBC will air a special preview of the show on August 8 following coverage of the London 2012 Olympics, with the series debuting in full on September 11.
