  8.5 Great

  Characters are revealed, but can they change? hide show

  A funny episode with good laughs from Gina, Joey, and even a little from Micheal. I found Alex to be just an annoying subplot getting in the way of Joey's teachings, and can only hope she changes. Micheal was better than in the pilot, but it was because of the situation and his supporting characters. He, on his own, is a character who can't bring any laughs unless thoroughly supported. I'd like to see the writers do sommething more with his character than simply make him the geek with no life outside school. Overall, a great episode. Loved the ending segment during the end credits. Very funny.
  
  OVERALL: 8.5.

  7.5 Good

  Now that the characters were introduced, the show moves on better and this episode explores the characters, and also enters a new actress. hide show

  The characters that were introduced are now developing... Michael shows just how much smart hhe is, while Joey is having fun in the jacuzzi (tipical Joey). A new actress is introduced to play the role of Alex and I believe she is much better than the previous one. She is so grown up, but so afraid of Gina. Meanwhile, this is the first episode (of many many episodes) in which Jennifer Coolidge does not appear. It's a bad thing because her character is actually really great.
  
  Rating: 7.5/10

  8.2 Great

  Missed the girl from episode one... hide show

  Compared to the first episode i guess it was a little toned down. The Joey charactor in FRIENDS was much better. I also missed the actress you aired as Alex, in the pilot episode. What do you mean there was no chemistry she was perfect. too bad she was replaced. I loved the part where both Joey and Gina are helping Micheal out with the correct pickup line to use. had me in stiches. I would have to say to any friends fan... Joey is the show for you cos i am sure he is the one you guys would have been watching on FRIENDS.

Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• Time Index 21:12. Joey and Gina had left Michael at the bar and come back to the apartment. The scene took place in the evening but you can clearly see that it is daylight through the window in the background. [edit]
• Gina mocks Joey by saying his pick up line, 'How you doin?' over and over. Joey then replies that it worked on all of her friends. However, it is revealed in season one episodes 8 and 9 (Joey and the Dream Girl Parts 1 and 2) that Joey was always awkward around Gina's best friend Donna (played by Kelly Preston) and that though he had a huge crush on her, he never slept with her. [edit]
• Time Index 8:24 and a few seconds after. Joey can be seen playing with his Rock'em Sock'em Robots set. This is the same set that he and Phoebe played with on Friends. Many of the props from Friends (like the magna doodle) were brought along and worked into the setting to foster familiarity. [edit]

• The episode was watched by 15.37 million viewers. [edit]
• Jennifer Coolidge (Joey's agent) does not appear in this episode. [edit]
• This episode ran 35 minutes on original airing. [edit]

• The Michael Effect: (Anytime Michael clams up or botches speaking in front of a woman.)
  
  (Joey introduces Alex to Michael.)
  Michael: Yeah, golly, yeah... Uh, huh-hi wow...
  Alex: (Alex looks down at their hands as Michael shakes hers.) That's... clammy... [edit]
• Joeyism: (Anytime Joey misunderstands the meaning of a word, phrase, event etc...)
  
  Joey: Wet towels cannot be left in the courtyard. Uh, yeah they can, I did it! Underwear is not appropriate hot tub attire. Why not?
  Michael: Uh, maybe because when its wet its see through?
  Joey: Heh-hey how 'bout that!? [edit]
• Joeyism: (Anytime Joey misunderstands the meaning of a word, phrase, event etc...)
  
  Joey quotes something from when he played a lawyer, an objection to a jury of peers that includes androids.)
  Alex: So the movie's in the future?
  Joey: No, no. This was like three years ago.
  Alex: Oh my...
  [edit]

• Gina told the bartender to look for a Tony Danzaesque older gentleman. Tony Danza is a famous actor, most notable for his role in Who's The Boss. [edit]
• Gina calls Joey Nancy Drew. Nancy Drew is a reference to the lead character in the series authored by Carolyn Keene. The books are about a teenage detective, and have been made into numerous video games and a television show and movie as well. [edit]
