}}Mr. Sunshine is an American television sitcom that aired from February 9 to April 6, 2011, as a mid-season replacement.[1] The single-camera comedy was co-created by Matthew Perry, who also starred in the series.[2] ABC cancelled the series on May 13, 2011 due to low ratings.[3]

Premise

Ben Donovan (Perry) is the operations manager for the Sunshine Center, a second-tier arena in San Diego, who has to deal with the unusual demands of his job and his unpredictable boss (Allison Janney).[4]

Cast and characters

  • Matthew Perry as Ben Donovan – manager of the Sunshine Center.
  • Allison Janney as Crystal Cohen – Ben's unpredictable boss.
  • Andrea Anders as Alice – Ben's former "friend with benefits" now dating Alonzo.
  • James Lesure as Alonzo Pope – former NBA star, Ben's happy-go-lucky co-worker and Alice's boyfriend.
  • Nate Torrence as Roman Cohen – Crystal's lovable but weird son. He has a crush on Heather.
  • Portia Doubleday as Heather – Ben's assistant, whom everyone believes is crazy.

Development and production

Mr. Sunshine is based on a concept by Matthew Perry, who planned to co-write, star in, and executive produce.[5] The project sparked a bidding war among the networks, with ABC landing the comedy in October 2009.[6] The deal came with hefty penalties for ABC if the pilot hadn't made it to series.[7][8] Perry teamed with Sony writers Alex Barnow and Marc Firek to pen the script.[6]

A green light to produce the pilot came from ABC in early January 2010.[2][9] Thomas Schlamme, of Shoe Money Productions, was chosen to direct the half-hour pilot.[10] Perry, Schlamme, and co-writers Barnow and Firek were all listed as executive producers for the pilot, along with Jamie Tarses of FanFare Productions.[4]

Casting began in late January, with Allison Janney as the first actor added to the cast as Ben's boss.[11] In February, Andrea Anders was tapped as Ben's "friend with benefits",[12] and Nate Torrence brought on board to play Roman, the son of Ben's boss.[13] The casting of Portia Doubleday as Ben's assistant, and James Lesure as an ex-basketball star, was announced at the end of April.[14]

In May 2010, ABC picked up the pilot for the 2010–2011 television season.[15]

On May 13, 2011, ABC announced that it had canceled Mr. Sunshine.[3]
