Matthew Perry Sitcom 'Second Chance' Predicted Gaddafi Would Die in 2011

Edited on Thu Oct-20-11 03:16 PM by Renew Deal

"Did a cheesy 1987 Matthew Perry sitcom predict that Muammar Gaddafi would be killed in 2011? A Reddit thread pointed out the wild 'Second Chance' coincidence after the Libyan dictator was killed in Sirte."

Looks like they got the year and method right. Almost right-on with the date too.

5. Weird coincidence. As an aside, even by the standards of cheezy 80's sitcoms, that

was just downright unwatchable.

7. Quite interesting...

But the show was painful to watch. Only Saint Peter was decent in it.

9. Yeah, but they like everything...

Matthew Perry was kind of cute back then so that was alright.
