    The last few episoides of Joey weren't good but this episoide was really amusing, for once, Joey wasn't as good with the ladies as he thought, i really like the story-line of the neighbour being easy-going and the fact that she didn't like all the fuss about dating and she didn't like actors , it was funny when she ask him out not the other way around. i like the fact that Joey still going out with her, i actually thought he was going ruin it when back-up girlfriend came but i really didn't see that she would of been fine but what goes around comes around and Joey going have to deal with it. This is one most intresting situations joey has got himself into. i'm constantly amazed the amount female trouble he gets himself into.

    Alex, we have been waiting all season for Alex and her husband to break-up, it was quite obvious i mean he always on business so how can there marriage work, it needs to be strong and amount of times he was away still if it wasn't for Joey & Gina telling Alex to get stuff off her chest it wouldn't of happend. i felt bad so i am actually looking forward to next week episoide to see what happends.moreless

    • When Alex is telling how her husband answered her crossword for her by revealing that it was Ally McBeal, Alex says that she herself is a spunky lawyer and she knows who Ally McBeal is.

Ally McBeal is the story of a young lawyer (Calista Flockhart) and her life, loves, and job. It was on from 1997 to 2002 and focused on the personal lives of the characters, often filtering the story through the legal proceedings on the show. Ally McBeal was indeed a spunky blonde lawyer, much like Alex. Sesame Street is a hit children's TV show that combines entertainment with education. It has been on since 1969 and is the longest running children's show in American history. Its characters are muppets created by Jim Henson, one of which is Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster is the large blue muppet with a passion for cookies. Though cookies are his favorite, he is often seen eating just about anything. Edit
