[edit] Criticisms?

Are there any general criticisms about the show? Any theories as to what caused the low ratings? Sourcing them might be difficult; but I think that that would add value to the article. 65.93.146.51 08:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I would like a section on criticism.

Jackyleewoo 20:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)Maybe it's because Joey was funny in Friends only when Chundler was making jokes on him...Here is just JOEY, no Chundler any more.

[edit] The laugh track

I was suprised by the cheap, circa-1960's laugh track that was used in the series. Did anyone else find it odd?

[edit] The term 'cancelled'

So is this show actually cancelled? Does "pulled" mean it's cancelled? StargateX1 18:26, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, unfortunately it was cancelled by NBC. I hate NBCs line up these days, I despise reality TV and their only good sitcom worth stopping what I'm doing to watch was Joey. Sorry your show didn't survive Matt...

It wasn't too bad of a show

If the Network stated that it was canceled I’m sure the fans would have been pissed, rather than wondering if it was still going to continue. Rlk89 01:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Who wrote the first part of the article?? "on a tuesday.....??". Can someone write this much better:? Dollvalley 13:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contract causing full seasons

I read in a Entertainment Weekly that for NBC to cancel this show it would have cost them far more then to finish either the first or second season due to contracts for the stars, mostly Matt LeBlanc, it might be worth meantioning, as when the show tanked it continued on for quite a while.--Kinglink 16:57, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Season 2 DVD

Is there a link for the season 2 dvd, i've looked on "tv shows on dvd" and theres nothing about it there.Samaster1991

[edit] Low Ratings

The article mentions that of the four major networks on its Tuesday timeslot, Joey had the lowest ratings. What exactly were the ratings in "millions of viewers" (a decimal is acceptable here! eg. 0.3million), and Nielson Ratings?-24.70.95.203 11:19, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

It's hard to find full ratings information for a night so far in the past, but this article [1] should help. Lambertman 15:52, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Only woman he ever loved

I think it is inappropriate to say that Rachel Green is the only woman Joey has ever loved. Joey said in season two (or possibly three) that he was in love with Ursula Buffay. (Neostinker 12:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC))

To further this Joey also said he loved The lesbian nanny in series nine. (Neostinker 21:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC))

He may have been in love with Ursula but I think the love he had for Rachel was purely a love as in love for a friend, when she moved in with him, they became best friends!! When they decide to remain just friends they said "how come Monica and Chandler could do it?" and Joey replies "Maybe they weren't as close as we are" insinuating that they are the best of friends and they couldn't do it because of that reason. --Nelse2808 20:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

And he only said he was in love with the lesbian nanny because she was forbidden fruit. Ross said that he wasn't allowed near her and that made him want her even more. That wasn't true love! --Nelse2808 20:48, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction?

The intro states (or implies) that the show was pulled after the first airing of the first show. The infobox says only 8 were unaired. Am I misunderstanding something in my reading, or is that an error? I don't know enough about the show to correct it either way. - Boss1000 17:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Main characters

You are joking? Joey isn't on there why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.127.211.2 (talk) 11:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Friends Cast reaction

Is there any documentation about the reaction by the other Friend's cast members about the show? Or what writers of the original series thought about it? --Wolfrider 03:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah~I'm wondering that stuff as well. Jacky Woo

[edit] Looking for help writing an article about the spin-offs and crossovers of this series

I am writing an article about all of the series which are in the same shared reality as this one through spin-offs and crossovers. I could use a little help expanding the article since it is currently extremely dense and a bit jumbled with some sentence structures being extremely repetitive. I would like to be able to put this article into article space soon. Any and all help in writing the article would be appreciated, even a comment or two on the talk page would help. Please give it a read through, also please do not comment here since I do not have all of the series on my watch list. - LA @ 16:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
