Joey (Friends Spin-off)
« on: Jun 30, 2004 at 11:45 PM »
Hey LA area "Friends" fans! What do you think of this idea?
What do you say we schedule an EB around a taping for "Joey"? I saw on the TV tickets wesbite that the next episode of "Joey" will be filming at Warner Brothers studios in Burbank on August 6th and tickets will be available 30 days before that. We could get tickets, then we could all meet at the Warner studios. Or we could all meet somewhere else and convoy to Burbank. What do you think? Good idea? We could get to see Matt Le Blanc in person!
By the way, here's the website to get tickets for tapings of "Joey".

Yey, Joey!!! ;D How much do tickets for these tapings cost? Rates aren't found in the website.... I've always wanted to watch a Friends taping.  :-\ Now that Friends is gone, Joey taping na lang....like I could go and watch heheheh!

Speaking of Joey, here's a trivia --- > Jennifer Coolidge, who will play Joey's new agent (wala na si Estelle! :-\) in his new show, was once a guest star on Friends. She played Monica and Phoebe's friend (with the fake British accent) Amanda.

Tapings are free! All you have to do is show up! That is if you can get tickets before they run out :D

Has anyone else seen the pilot episode of Joey?

It clearly demonstrates the superiority of the Cheers-Frasier writing team over the guys who write FRIENDS-Joey.

I suppose a major factor is the choice to spin off the dumb loveable character (as opposed to Frasier's quirky intellectual). Frasier's humor was sophisticated. Joey's is crass. And how the heck did Drea De Matteo go from hottie Adriana on The Sopranos to middle aged-looking mom in Joey in just a few months?

Hopefully they'll tweak the show a bit more before it actually airs.

They'll do (or they did already) a re-cast daw and replace the neighbor? So that episode will become "the episode that will never air in the season premiere". I have mixed feelings about it. Maybe because there was hardly any reference to the other 5 remaining Friends. (I miss them!) Or I half-expected Chris, from the Sopranos, to make an appearance and demand something from Adriana.  ;D

If I remember correctly, the First Season of Frazier pales in comparison to the latter progressions.  So does the First Season of Simpsons.  They probably hasn't gotten the right mix yet for Joey.

I remember Frazier's special features on the First Season explaining that the only thing they took from Cheers is the character's name, wife son.  Everything else they reinvented for the new series.  As everyone knows Frazier is not a central character in Cheers.

I haven't seen Joey yet.  The material to start with has been beaten to death in Friends and unless they come up with something fresh, this will really be a short series

Yep, and from what I've read she'll be playing a mom not to some toddler but to a 20-yr old former child prodigy of some sort.  She herself looks just under 30, from The Sopranos at least.  What did her 'Joey' character do? Get knocked up at age 9?

Yup, apparently pregnant at a very young age, it's one of the story lines in that very first episode.

tsk tsk! No dates available yet...I think what's happening is tickets are so popular that the show gets sold out as soon as they announce that tickets are available. I really gotta check that website every day!

I've watched the Pilot and the aired episode the changes are the neighbor and some shots were sharpened and tightened out.

I gotta agree on the producers call to replace the neighbor. Even though she's my type  >:D her acting was too limp.

i'm watching episode 3... and i'm plainly getting bored with it..

joey said sa conan last night na 60 percent of friend's writers are working for the show. I find NONE of Friend's wit and humour..


edit: there was some bright spot there right at the end. when the guy volunteered to be a backboard. That was good. we get to see some classic joey.

A hotter girl, IMHO.  ;D

The original girl received poor scores/feedback when they showed the original pilot to test audiences. Kawawa naman.

Just now caught up with the first three episodes of the show. Ok lang. In the age where the sitcom is all but dead, it's viewable.

But isn't it strange that after all those years of a questionable relationship with Chandler (Even Joey's sister thinks they were a gay couple), the first person Joey obsesses over in L.A. also is a guy?

Hmm...

"Not that there's anything wrong with that..."

 ;D

what he needed was a guy to hang out with. which is good. dahil he looks for a long term friend 1st before looking for short term relationships (with women)

Finally did a bit of catch-up and have seen up to Episode 9.

Either the show's getting better, or the characters have grown on me.

The show is still no F*R*I*E*N*D*S, but it's a good enough distraction if you have nothing else to watch.

Someone at PEX who says he/she is from Studio 23 posted Joey will be airing in March. :)

I'm sad to hear that Joey is now being laughed at as the biggest spin-off flop since After-M*A*S*H. I actually thought it was getting better with the addition of Lucy Liu and Colby from Survivor to the recurring members of the cast.

Maybe it's time for Monica & Chandler to divorce, so one of them can move to L.A. and join Joey's apartment complex...  ;)
