Joey "Joey and the High School Friend" 12-08-05
Spoiler:
I think I would've preferred the big guest-star in this episode play the part Friends fans would remember.

True, especially since Crazy Eddie was indeed memorable. It's not as if Goldberg is such a big name that it means much to the ratings, another actor could've easily been cast in this new role.

Peri Gilpin ("Roz" from Frasier) played "Holly Matheson" on Cheers.
John Mahoney ("Martin" from Frasier) played "Sy Flembeck" on Cheers.
The first two were in those show's final seasons and the third was the second to last.

I dont know about Peri and Gilpin, but most people won't really remember Jennifer Coolidge on "Friends". (Even though I do).
However, casting Eddie!#)(@&$) WTF. That's it. I am giving up on this show. Eddie was in an entire storyline and string of episodes in "Friends". This just shows that the producers of this show have no idea how to make a show last or pay attention to its already built-in audience.

And you're right, Adam Goldberg is really not that big of a name - especially since Head Cases has already been cancelled.

Looks like "Joey" is going to leave Thursdays huh. Oh my--nah, I don't care...
I hope they aren't trying to say that the character Adam Goldberg played is Michael's father if so, that's pitiful...

They're making him out to be the father.

What's pitiful about Adam Goldberg's character turning out to be Michael's father? Helps explain why they cast him, there's a definite resemblance.
Best line of the episode goes to Alex: "My sexuality is not a toy!"
