'Joey' proves you can't judge a series by its ratings

The canceled sitcom's eight previously unseen episodes are now on YouTube.

"Joey," the 2004 Matt LeBlanc "Friends" spinoff, has now been completely restored to life on the Friends YouTube channel, including eight episodes never aired in this country, the NBC series having been canceled in 2006, two-thirds of the way through its second season.
For most, there will be no difference between the episodes that aired and the ones that didn't - they will be equally unseen. For some, this is a shoe that took 19 years to drop. I can find no record of what I thought of it at the time, but I took this occasion to look anew and assess the series out of the shadow of what then was its just-departed mother ship. Viewing from here, I'd call it a pleasing, funny show, easy to invest in and a reminder that you can't judge a show by its ratings.
