Not that good TBH, but im sure it'll get better. Funny at points. I'll keep watching, not totally dissapointing.

Heres a little fact, even though friends was set in new york, it was filmed in LA, guess they dont need to hold any pretense now.

I didnt like Friends, so not sure how it compares, but it could of been worse, you could of had guest appearences from the Friends lot...

Oh yeah, Amanda, with that really crap british accent. That was hilarious. Well, back to Joey, quite a good episode, funny, but I do hope that references to Friends stops here. It's ok for the first episode, it does explain a few things, but no more now, no more. I'll stay for the second episode.

It's actually could / should / would HAVE, not OF.


As for Joey, well the pilots for Buffy, Dr Who and Star Trek weren't anything to write home about compared to the rest of the series, nor was the first episode of Friends so I'm willing to give it a chance. Having said that I'm not actually watching the second episode in this double bill.... Confused

The one problem I think they will have, is because Friends' theme tune was so recognisable, the somewhat bland music and logo/titles may not have the same lastability.

I really liked it actually.

The first one was good, the second one was better. Wasn't too over the top, and at least there wasn't too many mentions of the Friends cast, only 1 i think.

I'll watch it again.

Yeah, the second one was better than the first one, and I actually already uitte liked the first one. I'm actually pleasantly surprised.

*Thinks about removing the "Friends spin-off"part from the topictitle*

Didn't catch all of the second episode, but I watched the first episode and I have to say I quite enjoyed, personally I thought it was going to be poor, but it was quite good, good Sunday night viewing too, better than The Royal etc.

Though I hope they expand on characters a bit more, as it'll be crap if it's going to be Joey, his sister and her daughter.

Joey - a 9? I'd say 8, the show that is LOL! I'll be tuning in again next week.
