Review: Joey 101 – 102
The very first (unaired) pilot didn’t look too bright, when of course, you missed the other five crazy characters you’ve grown accustomed to. Then the aired pilot switched the wonderful (albeit somewhat stiff) Ashley Scott for the totally unknown Andrea Anders (budget reasons ?) with her fake-ish smile. While the story was pretty streamlined, it didn’t have the same impact as a random Friends episode. The second episode, luckily, showed improvement, with more punchy dialogue and faster cutting packing more jokes per time-packet. With only 4 character though, they will never get the 30+ million viewers back, but for now, they’re at least on the way to grab at least half of them.
