...voice that suits them. In this show, Joey Tribbiani, Matt LeBlanc's sweet-hearted dope, heads West to jump-start his career and reconnect with his equally Noo Yawky sister Gina (The Sopranos' Drea de Matteo). We also meet his nephew Michael (Paulo Costanzo), a rocket scientist; his sharky agent, Bobbie (one-woman brass band Jennifer Coolidge); and his bland, pretty, married neighbor Alex (Andrea Anders). But none of these types are fresh or memorable. There's no Niles. Not even a Squiggy...
