Joey

Who watched it? What did you think of it? I was a little disappointed. It was funny, but not as funny as I was expecting/hoping.

I forgot all about it so I didn't watch it. I'm sure that they will rerun it so I'm not worried. I really like the character of Joey so I hope that the show is good.

I completely forgot that was on last night. I had a meeting anyway, but still.

I'm not sure if it will do well, at least that's the case with most spin-offs. Then again, Frasier did just as well as Cheers, so who knows.

I was a little disappointed as well, some of the jokes were funny, most were not and the canned laughter started to irritate me after awhile. They took the boob job jokes too far, especially when it wasnt that funny the first time they did it.

I watched and was also disappointed. I think we all excepted it to be nu-Friends and it isn't even close. I will probably give it a chance for a few weeks, until it improves or something better comes along.

I thought it was ok. Not as funny as Friends, but still good. It will probably get better as it goes along. Drea de Matteo is funny.

I think it has potential.

I remember that I didn't start watching Friends until the second or third season anyway.

I went into it expecting it to be awful. While it wasn't as bad as I expected, it also wasn't that good. You can tell they tried really hard, though. I'll give it another couple of weeks.

Like DWAlphaGam I went into it thinking it would be terrible. Only because spin offs usually are. Parts were bad but others were pretty funny. I'll give it a couple more to catch me. I also didn't like all the boob jokes. Only because it was his sister.

not as bad as I expected but not great. I dont' know if Joey has enough depth to carry a show. Gags about how stupid he is can only go so far.

From what I could tell, the show was decent. There was some funny parts! However, right after the scene where Joey is beating up a guy for a show, our station started having technical difficulties and for the rest of the show, there was no sound! So, I am really not sure how the rest of the show turned out.

I was also disappointed. I really like Joey, and think he's funny, but I don't know if he'll be able to carry the show. It might get old fast.

i think it would have been better if some of the cast from Friends came to visit him on the first episode.
