8 finished episodes sitting in the can was really odd for the time. I would expect that production would be about 4 finished episodes ahead for a weekly show, and that is generous. But 8? I wonder if they finished the episodes after cancelation back then or if they did it recently.
It barely had any plot so you could stitch a lot out of cut footage.
It was mid AF but I loved everyone on the cast.
Not having seen it and only really watching Friends a few years ago because it’s my wife’s comfort show, the writing was the main problem? Or was Joey not enough of a character to be the solo focus of the series?
Everything on Joey felt so arbitrary--"let's give Joey a love interest!" "Let's give Joey a new black friend!" I don't know who were the writers on that show, but it was a huge step down from Friends.
