THE GOOD TIMES

On the positive side, Friends on NBC was one of the most successful sitcoms in the history of TV and had a strong 10 year run that took 6 relatively unknown actors, including Perry, and showered them all with fame and fortune.  Perry's insecure character was the center of most laughs in the show.  So let's remember the good times with Friends Trivia on ESPN Southwest Florida.
