By the time 'Friends' finally died, every character has been drained of every drop of potential. I always hated 'Friends' anyway but at least I could see why other people liked it & Chandler was sort of funny sometimes.
Fast forward a few years & some unimaginative TV exec decides to dig up the rotting corpse of the dead 'Friends' horse & give it another good whipping. Oh, & remove 5 of the characters too. Without his friends, Joey is totally lost. A 1 dimensional character is just about passable when surrounded by 5 other 1 dimensional characters to give variation. Unfortunately, no effort has been made to fill out the role & the whole sitcom relies on familiarity with Joey. Yes, I'm familiar with him & I hate him.
The only positive thing I can say is that it's better Than 'Hope & Faith'. ANYTHING is better than 'Hope & Faith'.... Tuberculosis for example. So 'Joey' is about on a par with Tuberculosis. Or maybe Cholera.
