Not having seen it and only really watching Friends a few years ago because it’s my wife’s comfort show, the writing was the main problem? Or was Joey not enough of a character to be the solo focus of the series?
Everything on Joey felt so arbitrary--"let's give Joey a love interest!" "Let's give Joey a new black friend!" I don't know who were the writers on that show, but it was a huge step down from Friends.
Created by Scott Silveri (Creator/Showrunner: Get On, Speechless) and his wife Shana Goldberg-Meehan, both long-time Friends writers.
Others included Robert Carlock (Showrunner: 30 Rock, Co-creator: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Creator: Mr Mayor), Matt Hubbard (Creator: Forever, Loot).
And Friends writers: Vanessa McCarthy, Sherry Bilsing, Brian Buckner, Ellen Kreamer, Michael Borkow, Tracy Reilly, Doty Abrams.
