Joey 9/9/04 - Pilot
 

Just a reminder that Joey premiers tonight!

"...hands-down the best sitcom of the new season." - USA Today

Who'd they replace Ashley Scott with?

Andrea Anders

Chew's right. She doesn't show up on the NBC site as a regular, but does appear in the promo shot for tonight.

I'm interested in seeing what is different between this episode and the pilot I *ahem* found somewhere.

Can you lose it somewhere over in my direction? ;)

I think the critics are being too generous with "Joey," esp. USAToday.

I wouldn't give it *** 1/2. More like ** 1/2.



It plays more like The Single Guy rather than Friends.

I'm boycotting this on general principle. Tired of having it shoved down my throat every time I turn to NBC.

When was the last time you did not see a network do this for a new show.

Either way I will watch it, it looks funny.

The thing I love is how Drea de Matteo can be the mother to Paulo Costanzo and be Matt LeBlanc's older sister. Ages:

Drea - 31
Paulo - 26 this month
Matt - 37

Suspension of belief is high, but I'll watch it anyway :D

Could you also find it my way as well??

The unaired pilot was hilarious, I hope the shows holds up well because I think it could be quite good.

In all fairness, Matt & Paulo look younger than their respective ages, and Drea easily looks 40. A nine pack a day habit will do that to you.

I don't have it on my computer anymore. But a bit of me does reremember seeing a torrent of people sharing it elsewhere on the 'net. But I'm afaid I can't be of more help.

I love this forum

Just watched it, and it is very close to the leaked pilot that has been on the web for a while, if not identical except for the casting change. Note: I am pretty sure that it is longer than 30 minutes, so you might want to tape for an extra 5 or 10 minutes to get it all.

joey was the only reason i ever laughed while watching friends with corrie..

and gotta say... he is still damn funny :up:

some people may not like the show.. but he cracks me up and Ill watch it as long as it stays on the air

I thought this was very good for a pilot. The scene with Joey trying to keep up with the cameras was my favorite. Not as funny (yet) as Friends at its best, but certainly funnier than anything I saw on Friends LAST season. Solid start.

Just finished on the east coast....I liked it....there were a couple of parts I cringed at, but overall I'll be tuning in each week for now. The Joey character is just very charasmatic to me, I don't know why.

Drea's a MILF, too, btw.

I thought it was good.

Hopefully it can atleast stay at this level.

I do like Andrea Anders more than Ashley Scott in the role as the neighbor.

I enjoyed it and actually liked the new person playing Ashley's Scott's character more than Ashley Scott in the original pilot.

I am ready for next week.

sucked.

Wow, what a probing and well-thought out analysis. :rolleyes:

I enjoyed it. I can see how some wouldn't, but the Joey character makes me laugh. I don't watch very many sit-coms any more because the ones I do like tend to get cancelled too early (The Tick, Andy Richter, NewsRadio, etc.) but I gave this one a chance and was pleasantly surprised.

I thought everybody was well cast and it had enough laughs to keep me happy. Hey, it is formulaic and it doesn't break any boundaries, but it's a bit like comfort food. It doesn't surprise, but it's comfortable and it's something you know. If the rest of the episodes are as good as this one, I think it will be around for quite a while. I really think the general, wider audience will lap this up like crazy too, and that never hurts.

No shit :)

What can I say, I am really good with words.
Or know when I didn't like something. We'll see next week.
