NBC announces new "Friends" spin-off...

[brigden]

NBC today plans to announce a deal with Matt LeBlanc to star in Joey, a Friends spin-off featuring the show's Joey Tribbiani who is headed for California.

The series, which won't include any other Friends cast members, will premiere in September 2004, probably in the newly vacated Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT time slot, after Friends ends its 10th and final season in May.

No script has been written, but the show is believed to be based on a scenario in which Joey moves to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career, most likely to be joined by a love interest and an ensemble cast.

I guarentee he was the only one they could make a deal with. I guess his film career stalled after "Most Valuable Playmate."

I'm going to avoid this one like the plague.

It's still the worst programme on TV. Just shows you how retarded most North Americans are.

There are much worse shows on TV. Anyone of those reality shows is at least 100 times worse than Frasier.

I might have considered watching the show if it had been called "How YOU doin'?"

Fraiser is about as funny as finding out your best friend has AIDS.

Friends should end with Joey realizing he's homosexual and moving to West Hollywood. Then they can name the spinoff series "Joey Loves Chachi"

i think it should end with a robber coming in and killing off all the guys... and as time passes without them all the girls become lesbians and make out

Man... that is gonna ruin the Friends legacy....

That's like making a show called "Newman", as a spin off of what Newman did after Seinfeld....

 

[Kenny]

Me wonders how Joey is gonna go through a season without seeing any of the "Friends."

This will suck...

Matt LeBlanc cannot carry a show on his own... and if they keep the Joey character the way it is now, the show will be so stupid it's going to be annoying...

This also ruins the finale of Friends too... now we know Joey won't hook up with Phoebe...

 

[0roo0roo]

bah people only watch friends because its familiar now pretty much. its rarely funny, and when it tries to be serious, its annoying.
