20 Hilarious Friends Spin-Offs (That Never Existed)
16. The One With The Excitable Manchild
You could probably fill an entire fall schedule of new shows with Phoebe’s ex-boyfriends alone: and there’s no way in the world you can reasonably pass up an opportunity to put Alec Baldwin on screen.
In The Bright Side, having been committed by the state of New York (the grumpiest state in the US, as everyone knows) due to his relentlessly sunny, antic disposition and inability to play anything down, Parker finds himself having to handle life on the psych ward, with one doctor convinced he doesn’t belong there and another convinced he’s delusional and needs in-patient treatment.
Parker drives everyone crazy with his over-the-top personality and seemingly irrational urge to look on the bright side of everything, but offers a unique perspective to those who are prepared to set aside their cynicism. Or he could be completely broken. You decide.
