It looks like NBC sees the past as a key to its future. The network, which has seen ratings slump in the past two years, is bringing former “Friends” star Matthew Perry back and teaming him with another past network all-star. Perry has signed up to play the genius comedy writer in a drama pilot written by “West Wing” creator Aaran Sorkin. Sorkin’s new creation, which he developed with “Wing” collaborator Thomas Schlamme, is a set behind the scenes of a fictional TV comedy show along the lines of “Saturday Night Live.” Reports surfaced last week that Perry had failed to reach a deal to appear in the new show but that apparently changed. Also starring in the show, previously titled “Studio 7,” will be Steven Weber and D.L. Hughley. NBC paid a huge sum for the show’s pilot, $3 million, and it is expected to make the network’s fall schedule. Perry is the third Friend to headline a show since “Friends” exited two years ago. Matt LeBlanc’s “Joey” is on hiatus at NBC, and Lisa Kudrow’s “The Comeback” on HBO was cancelled.
