Before he became Chandler Bing, Matthew Perry managed to go through a complete cycle of a typical television actor of the 90s: passing roles, canceled pilot episodes and sitcoms, who even does not remember Google now.
One of them – “Home Free”, the 1993 series, which went to ABC, failed in just one season and disappeared so without a trail that it is almost impossible to find today.
In “Home Free” Perry played a young reporter named Matt, who lives with his mother. The situation is complicated when a sister with two children bursts into their house. The characters are fighting, grumbling, arranging conflicts in the kitchen and all this is served as a comedy. Even according to the standards of the 90s it sounds slow.
Critics were not shy then: variety He called the series “A Demented Product for the Environment on ABC“, adding that” Perry Charm is not enough to remove all this material. “
This was the third failure in a row in the career of the actor – before he saved in the Sitcoms of Sydney and boys will be boys who did not last long.
After home-free, he played in another strange strange project-the pilot of the science fiction comedy “Lax 2194”, where his hero worked at the airport of the future. This pilot was not even in the air – and this, strangely enough, saved Perry’s career. If the series were to go in the air, he could not be casting “friends”, and the role of Cendler would go to someone else.
Nowadays, “Home Free” is almost impossible to see – neither with streams nor on physical media. The series was not published on video cassettes or DVDs, did not go out in the song and was not added to the ABC archives. It is not even in the Disney+catalog, where the old channel shows can come theoretically. The only thing that is available: a bad copy of the pilot series on the internet archive and a few fragments on YouTube.
In Russia the series was never located: at Kinopoisk it hangs under the original name “Home Free”, without a description, without a poster and without evaluation. Taking into account what the 90s were on the Domestic TV, he would hardly have reached us. Yes, and almost nobody was very sorry.
