Joey

It doesn't take a super-genius to work out that Joey is exactly 1/6 as good as Friends was. The jokes seem tired and irrelevent, the plot lines are often absurd and convoluted and his stupid irritating sister [Andrea de Matteo as "Gina"] is both stupid and irritating most of the time. The only real saving grace is the fit blonde that lives next door to Joey. Whether Joey is a strong enough presence to carry his own show still remains to be seen, a second series is already planned but the success of that hinges on whether the show can create and develop a group of interesting and entertaining characters and believable events while at the same time being as hilariously funny as it really ought to be.
