OK... you were right. "Joey" sucks

[Dookus]

took it off the Tivo.

I actually LIKED "Friends" and gave "Joey" a chance. What a turd.

[freetobegay]

1. I beg to differ

I just watched it from TIVO. I thought the show was great! Or was just his dimples? Oh also he's more buff in Joey than in friends!

3. I noticed he looked a little buffer

Maybe that's whay I kept watching.

[Dookus]

5. oh, he's adorable, no question

and yeah, he lost a little weight and worked out.

But the whole premise sucks and the supporting characters are awful.

2. Tonight was the first episode I watched of "Joey"

It was "cute" but it has no substance.

I just love the character of Joey. He's such a dork.

4. It's wretched

In fact, I can't think of one new show that is even remotely good.

And if someone says Desperate Housewives I'll just scream.

[Dookus]

6. you're right

not one new show this season interests me, except for "Lost", which is only marginally interesting. We're watching it just because they're good with the cliff-hangers on each episode, but it's probably gonna get lame real fast.

7. Lost seems very 24-ish to me.

I've only seen bits here and there though.

8. Joey sucks.

Friends sucked.

I could have told you that.

[Dookus]

9. I already said that I

liked "Friends". It was a very well-written, well-acted show.

But "Joey" is not.

[Borgnine]

10. I wasn't a 'Friends' fan...

...but I have to admit, whenever I happen upon an episode, I find myself laughing. It's my dirty little secret.

'Joey', on the other hand, is horrid. The supporting characters just don't work. 'Frasier' worked as a spin-off because his family members were just as entertaining as he was. The sister character on 'Joey' is eye-gougingly annoying, and while the nephew is somewhat entertaining, he still seems out of place.

[Dookus]

11. right on all counts

Yes, Friends was actually funny. I know a lot of people hate it because it was popular, but it was actually one of the best-written shows on TV. Frasier was also great, and succeeded because of a great cast and great writing.

Joey just blows.
