After his friends all go their separate ways, Joey leaves New York for Hollywood to pursue his acting career full time. His sister Gina buys him a nice apartment, and he finds a new roommate in his nephew Michael. Sorry, but almost every joke in this series is absolutely pointless. The only thing that keeps it afloat is the sensitivity of the bilaterally desperately needy relationship between the main characters. I suggest you enjoy the first five or so episodes for what they are and let your mind play around with the opportunities there can be to make something interesting. The real centerpiece of the series is its acting; two performances in particular stick out.

I adore these writers/producers who try to give the "Friends" an individual show only about each of them, because they are kind of keeping the "Friends" with us. But the thing they forget is that, even though each of them is adorable, they were so freaking amazing TOGETHER! 'Mr Sunshine' and 'Go On' were cancelled very quick even though Matthew Perry is sweet and funny. Same thing happened with "Joey" because these friends are not the same when they are by themselves. At least Courteney Cox has a little bit more success in 'Cougar Town' ! I can't say the show was bad, it just wasn't... amazing. I kind of liked it, but it was probably because I miss "Friends" so much!

Just finished watching both seasons of the TV show Joey... Don't know whether the innate stupidity (for the lack of a better word) of the character Joey was present throughout the series on purpose or the screenplay was genuinely thoughtless. Jokes? Yeah there were some and some of the episodes were pretty funny too, but I could live without the stupid references to FRIENDS every now and then. That's a lot of negative things to say about the lovable Joey's show. I know. But the problem is that I was expecting too much I guess. Expecting some of that FRIENDS magic to take place. Well, although that didn't happen, in all fairness to the show, it should be said that 'Joey' is quite watchable, quite funny and quite okay. But if you are a FRIENDS fanatic like I am, expect nothing even remotely close to it.

Joey is a wonderfully entertaining sit com featuring everybody's favorite Friends character, Joey Tribbiani. The show centers around Joey's big move from New York City to Los Angeles in order to further his acting career. On the way he reunites with his surprisingly similar sister, Gina. Her brilliant adult son, Michael as well as his stereotypically white neighbor, Alex and his quirky, outrageous agent, Bobbie. While the show may be considerably different from Friends it makes up for it with it's considerable entertainment value. And while Matt Le Blanc may have been Friend's consistent comic relief, the gears have changed, giving characters like Gina and Bobbie the spotlight in that category while Joey becomes more of an adviser to the characters (not that Joey doesn't need advice himself every now and again). While the ensemble cast is extraordinary, it is the female cast members that truly make the show special. Cast members like Drea De Matteo (Gina), Andrea Anders (Alex) and Jennifer Coolidge (Bobbie) that use their unique comedic styles to keep audience members laughing from beginning to end. In conclusion, Joey is an endearing comedy, enjoyable for all viewers.
