Three minutes!!

Yep, bet they will too. I don't like giving C4 any praise, but I reckon they knew exactly what they were doing as far as 'Joey' was concerned. I was stunned when they let C5 outbid them considering how well Friends did, but even NBC seem to be getting the jitters about it. Time will tell I suppose.

Can anyone update me on Desperate Housewives from Wednesday, I missed it

[Rodge]

Another Episode down and another 3 "laugh out louds"! No complaints from me so far![:]:-))[/:]

Hi
I agree with Rob, no complaints so far. I have seen the first four episodes of this show on Dvd and they are great fun (next week is very good as well). If tv executives had there way there would have only been one series of Only Fools And Horses and Blackadder. When Cheers started it was 77 out of 77 tv shows, by the end of its 11 year run it was the no:1 tv show in America. I wish Joey all the luck in the future.

[Rodge]

Well compared to some of the crap we get continually cluttering up our screens I have to say that 'Joey' so far is far superior. Changing rooms has been on TV for at least 5 years and thats just bollocks!

[gwennie]

Sorry, just haven't gotten into Joey. (figuratively, not literally). I wasn't all that keen on Friends either, espec. Jennifer Aniston who is IMO just a bit of a trampy girl.

[Mr Blue Sky]

The problem with Friends IMO was that characters which seemed fresh and funny in the first 2 seasons quickly became annoying and tiresome from Season 3 onwards. Whenever I did catch an episode the writers had turned Chandler, who was previously my hero, into a total wimp! I don't know how people stuck with it for 10 years, and I certainly don't think there was enough life left in 'Joey' to give him his own series. Maybe I'm wrong and should just give the show a chance, but whenever I did this with Friends I was seriously dissapointed.

Give Matthew Perry his own show and maybe I'll watch...

I missed it because I was away and last night I was regailing my family with stories of being trapped under chairlifts. I was happy to see that 5 snapped up 'Two and half men' (first series-seen it though) and even happier to see it returning for a second series to Paramount tomorrow!

[Bee Gees Fan]

^ Trapped under chairlifts? [:]:-O[/:] It sounds like you've had quite a traumatising time, Meg! Would you elaborate on that? Were you being chased by international spies and the only place to hide was under a chairlift? Or were you being chased by a security guard who thought you were shoplifting? Or were the police after you for jaywalking...?

[Sideshow Meg]

Nothing as interesting. I was standing in the queue for the chairlift when, due to a lack of space, I tripped over my skis and got caught underneath the chairlift that moved over me

[Mr Blue Sky]

Meg, have you ever thought that maybe you're a bit accident-prone? [:]NUT[/:]

[Sideshow Meg]

Really? The thought never occured(!). Another skier crashed into me, poking me with his pole and then inconsiderabley skied off. However this unfortuante incident made me rant to my friends in a monologue fashion and when they laughed made me consider stand up comedy

[Mr Blue Sky]

He "poked you with his pole" did he?? Those activities are normally reserved for the apres ski Meg, not during! You're sounding more and more like Roz young lady [:]:-))[/:]

[Sideshow Meg]

His fast skiing caused his pole (his skiing pole) to be hit into my arm (which was very painful). Darren, you have a innuendo filled mind

[Mr Blue Sky]

Please forgive me. It's a non stop diet of 'Carry On' films when growing up. There's still nothing funnier than Carry on Camping after a night in the pub [:]:-))[/:]

[Sideshow Meg]

I suppose. What with all the whistle, what is a boy to do? (!)

[Ali 75]

'Joey' did indeed suffer a drop in viewership, it got 2.9 million viewers, a drop of 1.6 million. That's still pretty good for C5 though. I think they'd only panic if it dropped below 2 million.
