Finally!

Been screening IMDB for any info on this series, but I had to wait until the show was over to get something! Hey Joel is about a VH1 talk show host, but I'm not really sure if it ever was released in the US. The animation was ok, not ground-breaking; got introduced to Fountains of Wayne music, somewhat, and some of the jokes worked. I wish there would be more information on who did the voices for the guest musicians (J-Lo, Jewel, Lenny Kravitz, Bono, etc.) and if there are plans for a new season (note: Jon Cryer is now in Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen, and may not have time to do voice-overs for a new season, which was no rating smasher either). Lastly, it wouldn't hurt to have late night re-runs as filler on the Canadian Bravo channel.
