Personally, I'd always had the feeling that the show in question was doomed to failure right from the start. I'll admit that I never actually watched it, nor had I watched
Friends consistently for quite some time, but when I heard that they were doing a spin-off called "Joey", it just struck me as a pretty transparent, and frankly quite production line-ish attempt to repeat Paramount's one-off success in spinning "Frasier" off from "Cheers". Of all the major Friends characters, Joey had never exactly struck me as being one of the strongest. I couldn't really imagine how they intended him to carry a show on his own.
