Joey 1952-2000 (DVD)

Advantages: Get to see Joey
Disadvantages: Seeing a great actor like Matt LeBlanc foreced to act in this rubbish series

...The Friends spin-off, there was much expected of the Joey series, but this was always doomed. Friends was one of the greatest tv shows and this would mean that it was near impossible to reach the heights of friends. If Joey was a show by itself it could have been seen as a average to a good series but with the friends background it takes a great built up character Joey who had a great cast around him to a cast of mostly unknown actors. You always compare the two shows when watching Joey, which highlights the weaknesses in the show. The shows storyline is ok and the is being nice, the setting makes the show focus to much on Joey which is its greatest and worst aspect of the show. The character Joey needs the cast of frieds to be at his best.... Read review

Advantages: excellent comical value
Disadvantages: wheres the rest fo the friends cast?

...This is a great series! How can people not like it, its the best character from friend in a whole series!! Joey has become a totally different person and there are so many new sides to him now!! This is highly recommended to all joey/friends fans alike. And the woman who plays his sister.. couldnt have chose a better actress. She plays the ultimate sibling and makes the series so much better along with the neurotic neighbour and the geeky nephew. I have these series on dvd disk and would reommend you to buy these. The retail price is very reasonable for the comical value of the series. I would also suggest that if buying series 1, purchase series 2 also! Definatly a must buy for all people!... Read review

Advantages: Very Funny towards the end
Disadvantages: Took it's time to settle in first few episodes a bit slow

...A bit of a slow starter, they played on Joey's dumbness a bit too much to get the first few laughs. once the characters had settled in though i think the series progred nicely. The introduction of new characters such as Lucy Liu and Joey's actor nemesis were well timed and give the show something to work towards in the future. All the characters have the potential to achieve greatness in this. The location of LA is perfect and gives Joey a chance to shine on his own for a change I had hoped they were not going to reply on old jokes too much to make him funny and bring him into own which he slowly doing throughout the series but alas they did. The story basically is about Joey who has moved from New York to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. He meets up with his sister and her son (the guy from Road Trip) who really steals...
