Matt LeBlanc is behaving too much like his "Friends" character on the Showtime series.

Umm, have you watched EPISODES? He's not playing Joey at all. Whoever wrote that hasn't a clue of what they're watching and how to describe it.

Is this still on the air? I do not have Showtime so do not get to see the show, but I loved Friends and generally like all the actors that were on Friends so try to watch their new shows. ( Matt Perrys last try was painful but I did watch!) How is he like Joey? If at all in this series?

Matt LeBlanc is playing an exaggerated version of himself on the show. And since he plays himself he often makes references to his old show Friends & his former co-stars. Just a couple of weeks ago he had Gunther (James Michael Tyler) on his show. But as far as him playing Joey on every episode that's not really happening. If you have Showtime then give Episodes a try, it's on Sunday night at 9:30 central time.

The part of matt is to play himself in the show, an actor that used to play joey. I think the writers so far have done a great job with Matt trying to play a respected actor while people can only associate him with joey and friends
