...that's a problem. It reminds us that five-sixths of the Dream Team is missing. And where Joey does change, it's abruptly and implausibly. When he was funny on Friends, it was usually unintentionally. He still is, but when the writers need someone to deliver a Chandler-style zinger, they just lend Joey 50 IQ points for five seconds. When Gina, visiting Joey's TV taping, is mistaken (to her delight) for an actress, he cracks, "That's because you've got big fake boobs and you're crazy...
