He looks mid 20's(which he is) she looks early-mid 30's(which she is). The lawyer chick looks about the same age as the kid(which she is)..but the show's good.

In real life Drea is 31 and the guy that plays Michael is 20 something. Which works out.

-Always "away on business"
-Claims she has a wedding band, despite the fact that Joey didn't notice it and neither did the audience.
-Lied about being the super, or at the very least withheld information. This shows a weakness in her character to be honest about herself.
-Claims that the super job is her husbands, but she has do it. That is a poor scapegoat. The super job is hers.
Most likely they got divorced and she is denial or she was never married at all.

The problem is that she looks 31 while he looks 25.

It is only a minor quibble. I've already said that I like the show so far.

I thought it was the best episode yet. The show didn't have me at first, but its starting to grow on me.
I wonder how it'll do when its up against The O.C. as well in November.

It may not be that good, but it makes me laugh. I'll still watch.

I find myself smiling a lot, not really gut busting, but smiling.
I am finding the relationship with the nephew to be coming along, "OK geeks, it's over."
Still don't like Drea much, doesn't seem like a brother/sister relationship to me.
Still watching...

I can see the age thing is going to be in every "Joey" thread. Let's move on!
