Live poll: Why Did "Joey" Deserve Another Season?

Although Joey didn’t reach the massive success of Friends, the spin-off had some truly funny and heartfelt episodes that proved it had potential.

Thanks for pointing that out, Jessica! I've added a question to the description.

I wish there had been an option for:  "it wasn't funny and didn't deserve another season."  I wasted thirty minutes of my life watching an episode that would have been better spent cutting my toenails.

Why did you watch it if you dislike "Friends"? :)

@Jessica​   I watched one episode to see if it was any better than the original show.  I think that I saw it with a family member.

I wouldn't say it was that bad! 😄 It had its funny moments, and I think it deserved a little more time to find its footing.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ Seconding this call for arms for a Betty White option.🫡

@Kareemamgad​   Different strokes for different folks.  You probably would dislike some of my favorites.  That's partially why I like a neutral, Betty White option on the favorite polls.

Absolutely! 😄 That's what makes these polls fun — we all have different favorites!

@Jessica​   Let me give you another reason.  There was a famous television comedy show in the 70's called The Mary Tyler Moore Show.  The producer on the show was a character named Lou Grant, who was played by Ed Asner.  The show took place in a television news room and was about people producing a news program.  Let me emphasize that the show was a Comedy.  The spin off to this show was called Lou Grant.  In the new show, also starring Ed Asner, he was a newspaper editor and the show was now a drama.  100% different show in a spin off.

There was also a character in M*A*S*H named Trapper John, who was one of the doctors.  The show was a comedy during Wayne Rogers time on the show and, after he left, it evolved from a comedy to an anti-war program.  A few years after the show left the air, there was a new show called Trapper John, MD.  This was a drama with a different actor in the part and it took place in a modern day hospital.  100% different show in the spin-off.

Do you see why I would give a new show that is a spin-off a chance?  There is always a possibility that the show will be completely different/
