OK, sitcom fans, let's gather to appreciate Joey for what it is: A pretty darn good showcase for the talents of star Matt LeBlanc and his fabulous supporting cast. If the show isn't Friends, so what? Few sitcoms are. LeBlanc and his costars are still funny, engaging, and sometimes downright hilarious. If Adriana had to leave The Sopranos, the silver lining is that actress Drea de Matteo resurfaces here as straight-outta-Queens whacky sister Gina. Also in the stellar cast is one of America's finest comedic actresses, Jennifer Coolidge, who plays the sharky Hollywood agent and straightwoman. Joey's relocation to L.A. has given his acting career a lot more "meat" for the writers to work with, and LeBlanc is still adorably clueless. (He never realized, for instance, in 20 years of trying out for stage productions of Romeo and Juliet, why his plaintive delivery of "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" never got him the part of... Romeo.) The boxed set of the first season includes all 24 episodes, and a lot of good writing and topnotch performances. And most importantly, the Joey we love: "Why do you have to ruin stuff like that? Huh? 'The curve ball is impossible.' 'Don't eat that, it's solid mold.' 'That's not a dog, it's a possum. Stop letting it lick your face.' Why?!!" --A.T. Hurley

Great sitcom! (2007-04-16)

Being a Friend's fan, I knew I had to watch this show. Well I just loved this sitcom and find it really sad that they had to cancel it after only 2 seasons. Matt LeBlanc as Joey is a real good actor and he makes me laugh. Hopefully we will see him in another sitcom soon. It would be a shame to ignore his talent. I recommend this DVD box set to anyone who likes a good laugh!

I looooooooove Joey! He's the best! (2006-06-04)

I couldn't wait for this show to start on TV and was ready for lightning to strike me from the very first show. That didn't happen, but I'm loyal to this "dreamboat" actor who's such a handsome, lovable guy. While waiting patiently for the show to "catch" me, I was preparing myself to lambast anyone who dared criticize it ... but that didn't happen, either, so I saved myself from punching someone's lights out. LOL. Anyway, it soon picked up and I grew to like that adorable girl next door (even if she isn't Rachel), his sister and his nephew. His sister is a sex-bomb, very pretty in a sexy, earthy way. But for me, I think his agent is a blast. What a character! She's different, attractive, well-dressed, and very funny! She helps bring the chemistry of the show all together. I couldn't wait to get this DVD so I could watch the shows in one sitting and see if it clicked into place sooner for me. It did! At any rate, I looooooooooove this show, and I just adore Joey. He's way beyond cool. And, like many of the other reviewers, I'd like to see some of the FRIENDS cast make guest appearances from time to time. I'd also like to hear him chat on the phone with them occasionally. That would make it appear more real. As close as the cast of FRIENDS became, I'm certain the other five would be more than willing to support their beloved old friend who added so much to FRIENDS. I hope JOEY goes on forever ... until Joey's old and gray. What a cute old guy he will be! This DVD is a MUST BUY!
