"I will not have my actors taking drugs"

[studioAT · 6/10 · 17 December 2017]

I thought this was a strong episode of the show, and one in particular that highlighted the ever developing Joey and Zach friendship.

He doesn't get a lot of credit for his all too brief time on 'Joey', but I thought Miguel A. Núñez Jr was great here as Zach, having some really funny lines. The story line that sees him and Joey direct a senior citizens musical ran out of steam a bit at the end, but it does have some lovely moments.

I disagree with the previous reviewers comments about the Alex storyline. Again, I thought it was good fun, and well played out by Andrea Anders, as Alex's letter confessing her feelings to Joey gets intercepted.

There was also a lovely scene between Joey and Michael, that reminded us what a great dynamic Matt LeBlanc and Paulo Costanzo had together. It's a shame that Michael got more side-lined in the second series.

Another good episode of this much maligned show.

Joey and the Musical (#2.9)

Joey meets Candace's grandmother. She really doesn't like him, but he has an opportunity to change it as the play in her retirement home is about to be cancelled since they need a director. So he has Zach do the job. At the end Joey even has to play a part. Alex writes a letter to Joey with no intention to send it, but he reads it and thinks it is for Eric. So he tries to get the two together.

Really, I keep on thinking about the episode and I just can't think of good jokes. The whole retirement home play is simply a collection of old people having dementia and older women not being sexual enough jokes. Weak. And I am not even sure the story of Alex and the letter had any jokes.
