"Joey."

Has anyone here seen the Friends spin-off "Joey" yet? Is it any good?

Clip shows are boring when you've seen every episode about a bajillion times :\

But series 9 was full of flashbacks

I actually thought series 9 & 10 have been pretty good. Two of the best episodes are in these 2 series . The one where Joey keeps punching Ross and the one that Ross gets the fake tan.

As the series is called Joey it will obviously star him, so it will most likely have him quitting NY and moving to LA living with relatives trying to make it as an actor. Which he's been doing for the last 10 years.

Good point...maybe it starts with Joey leaving New York...but not featuring the remaining friends in any way...which will be gay,

I was actually wondering how that would work, because at the end of Friends Joey was still going to live in the apartment.

I'll give the show a go but like a lot of people I'm doubtful it will be a success. I am aware that Matt hasn't got much else going for him so he might as well give it a go.

I like how people say the we don't know much about the Joey character. Well it's not really our fault, they had 10 years to do it. Joey the stupid, Joey the stud. Joey the terrible actor (not Matt, well okay Matt too :P)

Matthew Perry's acting abilities are limited.

Ah yes, the guy who asked the dude at the hotel for Cannabis.

he was the druggie one who "Was always sure about physics" but didn't say the wheels would stay on
