Wdid you think??
Favorite character so far?? Favorite scene??
Least favorite character?? Worst scene??

spunkygirl · 09-09-2004, 08:41 PM

I love it

I love how they stayed true to the Joey character and didn't change him because he lives somewhere else. IMO he's still as hilarious as he was on Friends, there's a great chemistry with the cast too

Great cast, great set, great chemistry.
I loved it. I laughed out loud on several occassions.

Just one complaint -- get rid of the agent!! I didn't laugh at all during her entire scene. If it weren't for her, the episode would've been perfect.
I can't wait until next week!!

I have never really been comfortable with how "stupid" the Joey character is made to be. It was actually painful to watch his audition with the lights. However, Joey's speech near the end about change made up for it.

I await next week's episode and hope I can manage to find time to watch it.

Joey's gonna have a long future on tv. I think it's gonna become my other favorite show, it could possibly surpass friends as being a great show(not that friends wasn't)

That was my favorite part.
And then when he went towards them for the hug, the sister was like "you had your speech now go"

the only thing was it ran over by 3 or 4 minutes and my DVR didn't record those last few minutes of it

Petrie Malone · 09-09-2004, 08:50 PM

I thought it was OK... it has potential, especially in the home scenes. However it turns out, I am not expecting Joey to be like Fraiser.

TJL · 09-09-2004, 08:51 PM

A perfect example of a spinoff pilot folks.

I really liked the first episode. I actually laughed out loud.
Great cast, and Matt is as funny as ever.

I doubt Matt LeBlanc will break Kelsey Grammar's record for most years on TV as the same character, but I think "Joey" will have a pretty good run.

My rescorder messed up, I turned to TVGuide to see what the time was on the VCR, and then thought I changed back to NBC (but it was actually the TV, not the VCR)

Anyways.... I now have 10 minutes of TVGuideChannel on tape, and no Joey pilot.

Why would it be like Fraiser? They're two completely different characters and shows

I think Joey could be as big as Frasier, I think it's gonna rule Thursdays for a long time to come

Chambers · 09-09-2004, 08:53 PM

Definitely not crazy about it. But it has great potential.

I laughed out loud in some parts, but the writing was still rough. I realized Joey makes a much better supporting character. I'll still watch next week, though.

Joey would only have to run 10 years for that.
At this point, I have no idea how long it will run.
But the idea of it running a decade is very cool.

That's not the point.
Joey has more in common with Frasier than it does with Friends.

Both have basically the same concept -- guy leaves his tight-nit group of friends to reunite with his family, different city, different life.

that bites

Yeah my DVR recorded fine, but when 8:30 came it stopped recording cause it said on the channel guide "the apprentice" so naturally the DVR knows that's not the show to record, grrrrrr make me mad
