Storyline

After his friends all go their separate ways, Joey Tribianni leaves New York for Hollywood to pursue his acting career full time. His slutty sister Gina buys him a nice apartment, and he finds a new roommate in his 20-year old nephew Michael (Gina had him when she was 16), who is literally a rocket scientist. Michael's book smarts and Joey's people smarts allow them to help each other out whenever they can, and make them nice companions.

User Reviews

Woops

This series stars Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani, in a spin off show from the hit series "Friends". While all the other characters from this classic sitcom (Phoebe, Rachel, Monica, Ross and Chandler) moved on to bigger and better things, Joey was still stuck saying "How you doing'?" for another year. Big, big mistake on Matt's part to do this show, he should have taken the risk and moved on to other films and TV, but instead he stuck to where he was comfortable, and stayed with Joey. All the jokes had been used before, and you could spot them coming a mile off. To the concerned viewer: you have ten whole series of Friends to watch, why move on to Joey? Do a Matt LeBlanc, and stick to what you are comfortable with.
