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.

Thats pretty cool. I can't imagine there's a huge audience clamoring for it, but it must be pretty neat to be a fan of something and then get new material for it so many years later. Like can you imagine if like suddenly Fox opened up a vault and released like five more Firefly episodes that we never heard about? I can't even imagine. I think it'd be one of those things like after a sports Championship where a city riots.

did it rectify the fans complaints of the lack of demographics in the previous show.

I’ll be honest. I’d rather them unrelease 8 old episodes of this show if possible
