Rounding out the ensemble were Drea de Matteo (&#8220;The Sopranos&#8221;) as Joey&#8217;s sister, Gina; Paolo Costanzo (&#8220;Royal Pains&#8221;) as Gina&#8217;s rocket-scientist son, Michael; Andrea Anders (&#8220;Bookie&#8221;) as Joey&#8217;s landlord\/love interest, Alex; and Jennifer Coolidge (&#8220;The White Lotus&#8221;) as Joey&#8217;s talent agent, Bobby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Joey&#8221; got off to a great start in the ratings, with 18.6 million viewers (!) tuning in to the series premiere, which inherited its predecessor&#8217;s Thursdays-at-8 p.m. time slot. It was renewed for Season 2, but ratings began to dwindle, and a midseason move to Tuesdays opposite then-juggernaut &#8220;American Idol&#8221; effectively killed it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The sitcom was yanked from NBC&#8217;s lineup, and it was cancelled two months later, in May 2006. Eight Season 2 episodes never aired in the U.S. \u2014 though they did air overseas.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Did Anyone From Friends Cross Over to Joey?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">None of Joey&#8217;s Central Perk compatriots \u2014 Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courteney Cox), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Chandler (Matthew Perry) or Ross (David Schwimmer) \u2014 ever crossed over to the spinoff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Coolidge, of course, had a memorable guest stint during Season 10 of &#8220;Friends&#8221; as a <em>different<\/em> character \u2014 Monica and Phoebe&#8217;s annoying friend, Amanda. Meanwhile, Adam Goldberg, who recurred in Season 2 of &#8220;Friends&#8221; as Chandler&#8217;s eccentric roommate, Eddie, appeared in nine episodes of &#8220;Joey&#8221; as another new character: Michael&#8217;s estranged father, Jimmy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Aside from LeBlanc, the only actor to reprise their &#8220;Friends&#8221; role was Robert Costanzo \u2014 aka Joey Tribbiani, Sr. \u2014 and that appearance came in an unaired episode.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Where Can I Watch Joey?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Friends Spinoff Joey Releases 8 'New' Episodes Online \u2014 20 Years Later\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/lCvlIEbPU5HfHb6I2VE8Vw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/tvline.com\/057fa02b4539cba9f061f99e08323f63\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Friends Spinoff Joey Releases 8 &#8216;New&#8217; Episodes Online \u2014 20 Years Later &#8211; NBC<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Up until March of 2025 \u2014 when <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PL7PQp2APUAPIWW_j4kWYiUQM3UR8g_yvk\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the official &quot;Friends&quot; YouTube account;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">the official &#8220;Friends&#8221; YouTube account<\/a> began releasing two episodes every Tuesday \u2014 &#8220;Joey&#8221; was not available to watch in any official capacity, not even for rent or purchase.
