Just curious of how many of you Friends Fans followed the Joey character to LA? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

And if you did are you still watching the show? Only asking because a lot of Friends fans I talk to say they don't like the show at all.

Why do you guy's care so much? Anyone can answer the question, even if it's not directly asked to them.

I watched it in the begining. Some of the episodes were funny but it didn't have a long term plot to keep me intrested. I considered going back to it but I watch to many other things on Thursdays.

It's not one of my favorite shows, but i watch it every once in a while.

I'm remaining faithful. The first season was "Joey" was extremely uneven (the first few episodes were good, then it quickly got very mediocre, before getting much, much better by the second half of the season) but season two has so far been a vast improvement.

I watch and enjoy "Joey." I think it's pretty funny, despite what has been said about the show.

I've only seen one epi yet...they don't show it here atm...and I don't know if they ever show it here....but I liked that epi...it was hilarious and when they would show it here I will definitely watch it....Joey is a hilarous character

I was a HUGE Friends fan, but I didn't follow Joey to LA. It just didn't capture my attention. Plus, I didn't think it was the same (of course) without those five other people. Although I do love Joey (the character.)

i watch every thur. sure its not friends but joey is still a fun show to watch

mondler4eva · 11-04-2005, 03:48 PM

i must say i did watch joey after being a ginormas friends fan. i did find it funny and even my dad who said friends was rubbish, who by the way laughs at it, was laughing at joey.

Joey never was my favorite character. I thought he was much better in the first seasons of Friends. In later seasons, he would do the same things over and over again. It was always about girls or food. It got pretty old. Also, is it just me or did Joey got dumber every season? At the beginning he was just dim-witted, but by the end he was really, really stupid. I see a parallel with Eric Matthews from Boy meets World here. In the beginning, Joey was more like Matt LeBlanc's previous character; Vinnie Verducci on Married with Children. Unfortunately, he altered in a caricature. In later seasons, the character didn't develop. Also, LeBlanc's acting later on was like a robot doing everything the same way. So that's why I never followed Joey to LA. I also can't imagine the group of Friends not being together. I imagine that Joey still is in New York with his friends, as the last episode shows.

I watched all of season one, but haven't seen two yet because Smallville is on Thursdays now. Why they like to put on everything I like on the same nights is beyond me.

Season two is my favorite, as it develops the relationship between Joey and Chandler very, very well. I always liked them living together. That's why I mark season 6 (Chandler moving in with Monica) as being the point from where the show went downhill.
