Titolo: [SPOILER] Joey: commenti

You may remember, I watched it [Joey] at the Upfronts last month, and
was pleasantly surprised – it’s not bad (despite aforementioned
nipplage.) The show is pretty good for a laugh-track sitcom (nails on
chalkboard if you ask moi) and Joey Tribbiani actually comes across,
for the first time ever, as a fully developed LEAD character. That
said, I am a little concered about this recent development – Sherry
Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Plummer have been named co-executive
producers on the series and they’re responsible.

scordai un pezzo:
Real story [with Ashley Scott getting replaced on Joey] is she was
unwatchable in three ways: 1) Bad character. 2) Bad acting. And 3) So
much nipplage I’m surprised anyone noticed the former. My sources tell
me the pilot tested well with the exception of Ashley … And really,
though the lack of a bra was extremely distracting, you gotta feel
sorta sorry for the poor girl, after all, it likely was the role of a
lifetime. And the producers are partially to blame for a poor choice
in character -- giving Joey a trampy, boobalicious neighbor as a love
interest is one thing, but giving her a husband was just a bad idea.
I’m told that now, the neighbor will be hot, SINGLE and fond of
undergarments.

'Friends' duo relocating with 'Joey'
By Nellie Andreeva
The Hollywood Reporter
June 14, 2004
Emmy-winning "Friends" writer-producers Sherry Bilsing-Graham and
Ellen Plummer will serve as co-executive producers on the series
spinoff for NBC "Joey" as part of a two-year overall deal with NBC
Universal Television.
Former actresses Bilsing-Graham and Plummer got their writing start at
Warner Bros.' workshop, which landed them their first writing jobs on
"Veronica's Closet," the studio's comedy for NBC. After working on the
show for two years, the pair moved to WBTV's "Friends," where they
rose to co-executive producers in the NBC series' final two seasons.
Bilsing-Graham and Plummer originally inked an overall deal with NBC
Studios last year that was set to start in the summer following their
final season on "Friends." 
Then, when NBC asked "Joey" creators/exec producers Scott Silveri and
Shana Goldberg-Meehan about writers they wanted to hire for the
series, Bilsing-Graham and Plummer were their "first draft picks," NBC
entertainment president Kevin Reilly said.
"They've worked together before, they know each other's voices, they
have a shorthand, and they certainly know the character of Joey," he
said.
To facilitate that, NBC Universal TV reworked the terms of the overall
deal so that Bilsing-Graham and Plummer can go to work as co-executive
producers on the WBTV-produced "Joey" for at least a year. 
"At the appropriate time, they will come develop their own show,"
Reilly said.
In 2002, Bilsing-Graham and Plummer shared a best comedy series Emmy
with the rest of the "Friends" producing team.
The two are repped by Endeavor and Leigh Brecheen.
