"Joey". (1 Viewer)

[SoCal]

So I am surprised that no-one has started a thread on Joey. What did everyone think of it? I didn't like it is much as Friends but it was pretty decent. I will be watching this show instead of The Apprentice 3 I think.

 

[ryaneco]

yea i liked it, i've already seen 2 eps and i liked them, i thought it was a great pilot, possibly because we already new the character of joey that it didn't take much time to set things up like a brand new show. But channel 9 shite me because next week they are going straight to the episode of joey and the party and are skipping ep 2 which is joey and the student, why they do this is beyond me. but good show, not as good as friends but an entertaining time filler for a monday night, i enjoy it.

Well that is gay. Thanks for letting me know, I will have to download it. Do you know if they are just showing the episodes out of order and will go back to "Joey and the Student" or if they are just never going to air it?

Sounds like Matt le Blanc can't get a decent role (anyone seen All the Queen's Men? If you haven't, pray you don't ...) and so has to act in spin-off of a highly-popular TV show he was in (true, Joey was the best of the 6, but still).

What is wrong with him doing a spin-off? He is probably pretty happy that he was the only one given the opportunity to star in a spin-off that would most probably become very popular and successful. I would have to say Chandler was my favourite character.

 

[hatty]

imagine a spin-off with some of the other characters.

"Chandler", LOL, that would suck so bad, that matthew perry dickhead would just walk around all day sniffing mens asses or eating shit.

 

[Annegelic]

nah i liked chandler ! he was probably the funniest one. i thought joey was ok, nowhere near as good as friends, but still funny.

 

[mizz_smee]

i liked them all together
but i think joey will survive the best on his own

lol, you would probably do anything for the amount of money he will be getting for doing this.

so, it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. glad he didn't make the same mistake Eliza Dushku did.

i thought the show was ok, but i hope they introduce more characters into the show and find another Chandler-like buddy for Joey. they made a great duo.

Is it just me, or does that sister look like she didn't exist in Friends? We actually saw all 7 sisters at the same time at one stage, I think it was when Chandler was having it off with one of them, but...

Also - I like it that in Friends, Joey blows up at the thought of her other baby sister being pregnant and marrying the loser guy, but in "Joey", he seems fine with the fact that another sister had a son when she was 16...

Either that, or I have been watching Friends waaaaay too much.

How is the show doing in the US?

 

[Krangelus]

its been picked up for a second season, so its doing a lot better than some of the other new shows.

 

[golfstick]

A Chandler spinoff could work

Matthew Perry is definitely the funniest of all the Friends actors in real life

Plus, I rate that movie The Whole 9 Yards.

What shows haven't been renewed in America?

 

[Jase]

why not make more spinoffs - "Janice" or "Ross"

 

[Annegelic]

Yeah i think i'd prefer a Chandler spinoff than Joey. Chandler rocks !

 

[Krangelus]

how would a chandler spin off work? Monica would have to come along cause they're uh, married. remember?

What shows haven't been renewed in America?

as far as i know (some are on the bubble, meaning they may or may not still be picked up)

Spin-offs are sooo lame. "Ok, seeing as though we're not creative enough to think of new ideas, lets just ride the success of another show". Pitiful.

 

[ryaneco]

LAX, the mountain and father of the pride have all been given the network axe.

As for nine playing the eps out of order or not playing at all metherond lets just say i hope its either a typo in the guide or they are playing them out of order. I really don't know, but we can hope.

i dont see a problem with it, it gives the charachters more of a chance to evolve and change. Some even are better than the host show - ala Angel from buffy.
They just have to be done right.

WOW, there are so many! Haha, hasn't there only been one episode of "Cuts" broadcast, and I thought Veronica Mars was popular? There are a few there that I will miss.
