So did anyone catch the season premiere of the Friends spinoff, Joey, tonight? So far I like it. It even stars the stoner guy from Road Trip which is/was a hilarious movie that I just so happen to have watched again the other night.
I think Joey was the most interesting character on Friends, especially in the last few seasons, and therefore was the best choice for a spinoff. The only thing that threw me off a bit was how much like the Friends‘ Joey he was. I thought I read somewhere that this Joey was going to be more intelligent, but so far I’m not seeing it. Not that I’m complaining – I think Joey’s stupidity and love of food are his two more endearing qualities and they touched on both points more than a few times.
Your thoughts?
I hope they don’t make Joey suddenly smarter, it wouldn’t be very realistic. Then again, what sitcoms are realistic to begin with? I love Matt LeBlanc, he seems like such a decent guy, so I hope Joey succeeds. It wasn’t bad, especially compared to the last few seasons of Friends.
