"Joey" |
OK now, clubs and snark pens down! I really like this show! However, there is a huge problem. Even though they have really talented peeps (my fave is Jennifer Coolidge), and the premise is decent, the writers are giving the actos lame sh!t to work with. This show has potential and they're running it into the ground. The one-hour episode last week was pulling the show out of the dumper in the first half hour. Just when I was getting hopeful, Matt LeBlanc was forced to mouth at least 2 really lame lines. I feel sorry for these guys. They're all really talented, IMO. Hope the show makes it, but I'm doubting. They really should handle the Joey/Alex dance differently. There is potential in the clash between Alex's brain matter and Joey's "duh" consciousness. They're dumbing Alex down into a sappy "I slept with him once and now I'm madly in love" bimbo who never seems to be actually working, when they could have some really snappy repartee going on like in some of the other shows (that I don't watch).

1. "RE: Joey" |
I'm saddened by the fact that this show is probably done with. I agree with you, Doowah, that the writers are running it into the ground. So MUCH potential. I have been suffering friends withdrawals ever since the show ended & Joey is my mini fix.The first few eps of the first season were okay, but felt like the writers were trying TOO hard. Then it seemed to pick up. I enjoy the dynamics between Joey & his nephew; Joey & his sister & my fave is Jennifer Coolidge as Joey's manager. I've never been a fan of the lawyer/landlord woman & can't stand her pathetic love sick "dumbed-down" character as it is now. This season I thought started out better with the addition of Joey's new African American sidekick -- I think the guy is pretty funny & like Joey playing off of him. I've laughed out loud a few times this season with the new guy in the mix. I also was enjoying Joey's "BIG" movie. Very funny. I really don't want them to pull the show & hope they will fix the writing. The cast is really funny (except lawyer/landlord lady) & they need to tighten up the storylines & writing. But I have a feeling we won't be seeing Joey anymore

I totally agree with you about Alex! I really liked her to begin with but now she has gone all dopey. Here in Australia the first season premiered in Feb 05 but was cut after 2 months and only started up again in December. When I got back to watching the more recent episodes, it was like Alex was an entirely new character, she had changed that much.However, I disagree with Catty about the African American character Zac. Seems to me like he met Joey in at the audition in the first episode of season 2, then at the beginning of the second episode he was already hanging out at Joey's house as though they were best buddies. I like how Gina has a job with Bobbie now, it's a bit unrealistic but it gives the potential for more storylines between the two of them and gets the characters more intertwined. I would love to see a guest appearance by anyone who was on Friends (I had been expecting at least Matthew Perry by now but I guess not), like say if Joey were to run into Elle Macpherson again or something. Also on the topic of guest stars, I was sooo disappointed with Gunner, cos I love Colby so much!! His character was such an egotistical weirdo and I don't know whether that was caused by anti-Survivor lobbyists who thought maybe the way for Joey to beat Survivor on the ratings was for them to portray previous Survivor contestants as idiots who have overstepped their 15 minutes of fame. Handcrafted by RollDdice An combination of Colby and Matthew Perry. I can only hope.

oh poo. This wouldn't surprise me in the least. No wonder the writing stinks. What a waste of good acting talent!

You would think, though, that if the writers knew the show was potentially being axed and that they had virtually free rein over anything in the show, that they would take the opportunity to try something new, edgier, different. Showcase their own writing talents to increase their chances of being picked up for another show after Joey.
Unless their writing is just so pathetic that what they're writing now is conisdered "good" for them.
