Joey

all this from notepad. Listening to Play by Jen Lo right now. Stupid girl went from Pop to Hip-hop. Bad move. Play it all night long.

5:58
just saw more episodes of Joey - and here's saying something - LOVE IT MORE THAN FRIENDS. It is actually a better sitcom, the jokes are cleverer, and they've still managed to take old things from Friends and turn it around - like Joey's sister (Ginny) thinks that Joey and Chandler were a gay couple. Joey lives in this apartment with his nephew Michael, and Ginny drops in frequently, along with the hot-and-she-does-not-know-it neighbour, Alexis, who has a somewhat troubled marriage with her husband Elric. There is also this weird-cute-stupid dude with dysfunctional tearducts. The best thing about the episodes is that Joey slowly turns into a big star over the first season, and at the same time, his relationships (notice that in the plural) become increasingly serious. In the last episode of the season, he starts going out with his "hot" neighbour, Alex, which is a give away if you haven't seen the entire season till THAT episode, and yet there are subtle clues if you look at the other episodes - including the first one - that they have a thing for each other. That shows that the sitcom is planned out really well. Wish I'd know how the story moves. Cannot wait for it to come to India. Cannot wait for Season II. The best episode so far was the one with carmen Electra in it - really hilarious. Tired out watching episode after episode after episode. Done five in a row or so. Like the song in the beggening, but am irritated by hearing it so many times over now.

Damn, just remembered, I have the first two shows from the second season.

Update: I'm typing this as I am watching... Season II is even MOre amazing than season one. If this come shere, this will be bigger than Simpsons and friends. another big give away, Joey gets a part in a Jerry Bruckheimer film. Maybe Joey will become another LAN/p2p phenomenon in india like Southpark.

Further update: Saw a few more episodes, and damn is this shit amazing. Simply cannot stop. Alex's real name is Alexis, Captain Fabuloso is a pirate, and the chemistry between Alex and Joey is obvious once you know of the outcome. Really well made. And yeah, there's Lucy Liu AND Carmen Electra as celebrity guests.
