Matt and I watched the first episode of “Joey” last night. It was not as good as it could have been, but I enjoyed it more than I’d expected.

Here’s a weird coincidence from a couple of reviews:

When Gina brags that she looks incredible for the mother of a 20-year-old son, Joey replies, “You rarely hear the argument for teen pregnancy” — a joke that would sound much more natural coming from Chandler or even Ross.

Joey’s dry retort – “You rarely hear the argument for teen pregnancy” – is funny, but it’s the kind of sardonic aside that Chandler would make, not Joey.

And here’s another one from the same two articles:

Gina, who has long nails, tacky hair and tight outfits, isn’t exactly a stretch for de Matteo — optimistic “Sopranos” fans who refuse to believe Adriana died because it happened off-camera can convince themselves that she’s in Witness Protection posing as Joey’s sister.

Ms. de Matteo plays Gina with the same décolletage and Italian-American panache she had in “The Sopranos.” (At times it is almost as if Adriana had survived the hit and was relocated to Los Angeles under the Federal Witness Protection Program.)

I’m just saying.
