Overview

Rumors of Joey, a spin-off show from Friends and produced by Bright-San Productions, Silver & Gold Productions and Warner Bros. Television, began to surface towards the end of the final season of Friends. First aired on September 9, 2004 on American television network NBC, Joey continues the story of character Joey Tribbiani, moving to Los Angeles in an attempt to boost his acting career. Possibly he is also seeking distance from his quintet of friends in New York, as his friend Ross Geller has just gotten together with the only woman Joey has ever truly loved, Rachel Green. Joey, with Matt LeBlanc reprising the role, meets up with his sister Gina, and her son Michael, who help him acclimatize to the differences between New York and LA. A spin-off (or spinoff) is a new organization or entity formed by a split from a larger one such as a new company formed from a university research group. ...

Despite middling ratings, the sitcom was renewed for a second season, 2005-2006. During its second season, ratings fell 42%.

In the second season, Joey becomes a bigger star. He also gets a new best friend named Zach Miller, played by actor Miguel A. Nunez Jr (who will be a series regular).

Also on March 10, 2006 NBC indefinitely pulled the show from its schedule after just one airing in its new Tuesday timeslot. These factors cast serious doubt on the future of the show. Miguel A.

Trivia

Matt LeBlanc as Joey Tribbiani in Joey

• The pilot episode was released in screener form for test audiences and members of the entertainment industry to preview the show and drum up business. The screener was subsequently leaked onto the Internet and thus has received a much wider critical review process than initially conceived.
• The theme song for the show is "Sunny Hours" by Long Beach Dub Allstars featuring will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.
• The fifth and the thirteenth episodes were directed by David Schwimmer (who played Ross Geller on Friends).
• The sixteenth episode, aired on February 3, makes reference to Johnny Carson, who died on January 23, 2005.
• Drea de Matteo and Paulo Costanzo, who play mother and son, were born six years apart. Costanzo's character is twenty years old, while de Matteo's is in her mid-thirties. This is probably referenced by Joey's role on Deep Powder, where he plays the father of a woman just five years his junior.
• The duckling and the chick, bought on the last episode of Friends, have yet to appear in Joey.
• There is a picture of Joey and Chandler in a green picture frame on the cabinet next to the door into the apartment.
• Joey's classic pick-up line of "How you doin'?" was first spoken in the show by Gina.
• The boxes of ordered Chinese food from which the characters of the show can be seen eating, have the Chinese character for friend (or friends, as Chinese lacks plural forms of nouns) printed on them.
• Joey's high-school friend who turns out to be Michael's father is played by Adam Goldberg, the same actor who, on Friends, played Chandler's crazy new roommate, Eddie, when Joey temporarily moved out.
