Joey Joey and the Premiere (2004–2006) Online

Joey can't persuade Laura to give him more then two tickets for his TV series' Deep Powder's fancy premiere, while he already promised to take the whole home gang along, so he fixes the ladies up with dates from the production team: Alex gets an older lesbian, Gina his otherwise unknown manager Martin, who didn't even want to come, but turns out to be Laura's ex and nightmare. Only Michael gets Joey's own guest ticket, but loses interest in a sexy girl, who clearly made a pass at him, when he spots actor Brent Spiner, who played his SciFi idol, Data (the android from Star Trek the Next Generation), for whom that part is alas the one subject he's sick of discussing, but agent Bobbie forces him; he actually finds Michael insightful, so Michael must chose. Joey has a surprisingly exciting way to calm obsessive Laura down...

Joey goes to the premier of his show, but he is only allowed to bring one person. So he arranges for Alex and Gina to have dates. Only he gets Gina together with Lauren's ex and Alex with a lesbian. Michael has some great time there having met a Star Trek actor, and Joey ends up hooking up with Lauren.

A great episode. I think this one is my favorite on the show so far. There were so many unpredictable and creative jokes, I was very impressed.

I even have trouble saying what was my favorite part, I loved Alex with the lesbian a lot, especially the ending.

'Joey' had hit a bit of form by this stage (perhaps the best of its two year run) and this is another very good episode.

With a sharp script and some great performances from all the main cast (who actually get something to do rather than just wait around for Joey to show up), as well as another strong guest appearance from Lucy Lu, who sadly doesn't return after this.

I thought Paulo Costanzo did well in his story, torn between his hero and a pretty girl, and his comic timing is great. Drea De Matteo is also again on top form as Gina, and I think she is far better at comedy than people make her out to be. Watch out for Alex Ball as minor character 'Todd', as the actor pops up in various roles throughout the two series.

Less of the pressure feels like it's on Matt Le Blanc's head, and it ends up being a much better episode because of that.
