"Joey" and "Friends" are two different shows, so stop comparing them !
O.K., "Joey" is a spin-off of "Friends", but it's another story in another city with... the same Joey.
If you rate "Joey" in comparison with "Friends", you'll find it awful. So, give it a chance ! Watch it like a series on its own and you'll perhaps find it - so did I - funny. Not extraordinary, but funny.
In my opinion, it was a big mistake to try to create another "Friends" with only Joey Tribbiani without the others. Each character was great because of the five others. I think you can't separate the Friends.
I feel pity for Matt LeBlanc, who is a great actor. He would have deserved a better scenario.
So, watch it as a series on its own, not a spin-off of Friends, or don't watch it, because you'll be disappointed. I've been disappointed...
