Joey, a Friends spinoff, was not a success.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Joey is undoubtedly one of the most forgotten-about spinoffs in the history of television, even though it is tied to one of the most popular sitcoms that is still frequently referenced and discussed almost 20 years after its series finale.
Joey Forgot What Made The Character Special Multiple reasons factored into the Friends spinoff Joey failing, seeing as though it only lasted two seasons and received unfavorable reviews and terrible ratings. NBC canceled the comedy television show on August 23, 2006, citing low ratings for the series being pulled from the network. Of course, the fact that viewership steadily decreased over the episodes was the upfront reason for the spinoff's cancelation.
Joey Made Its Star Too Stupid One of Joey's greatest qualities in Friends was his affable nature, which, admittedly, got more prominent as the seasons went on. Nevertheless, his naivety was endearing and perfectly complimented Chandler's sarcasm, Rachel's cheerfulness, Phoebe's easygoing attitude, Monica's perfectionism, and Ross's impatience.
Joey Couldn't Sustain A Show By Himself Although every Friends character was loved by many and were all unique in their own way, Matt LeBlanc as Joey was the wrong figure to pick to lead a spinoff. As mentioned above, the network did not have much of a choice since producers would likely have had to convince both Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry, or Lisa Kudrow and Paul Rudd to lead a new television show if they wanted one-half of any of the couples.
