...about a quest for condoms. (He also released an R&B album, Peep This, that he would like to forget.) But Foxx discovered that Ugly Wanda, Crazy George and Bunz are not names that scan well on the back of a head shot. Even though he had his own sitcom for five years on the WB, "when I started trying to do movies," he says, "people were like, 'We dig Jamie Foxx, but what's up with the choices?' They didn't understand; Booty Call was not a choice! It was what I did because I couldn't get work...
...Lenny (Jack Black) befriends Oscar and his adoring friend Angie (Renée Zellweger). At its jauntiest, as when it shows Oscar at work in a whale car wash, Shark Tale is the Jaws that refreshes, but too often it just piles on the gags. The film has a hectic, sitcom air and a full-of-himself hero who is as likely to grate as to ingratiate...
Successful sitcom spin-offs--Frasier, Laverne & Shirley--give their lead characters new challenges and foils and find a fresh 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).

But none of these types are fresh or memorable. There's no Niles. Not even...

"When the network told me I got the part, I didn't know if it was the worst day or best day of my life," she says. But any tentativeness was gone on set. "After just a little rehearsal, we were struck by her ability to go toe to toe with one of the biggest comedy heavyweights on TV," says executive producer Kevin Bright...
...shows (NBC, Thursdays, 8 p.m. E.T.), starting Sept. 9. Friends was lame, ergo Joey will be lame. Friends was genius, and ... perhaps we need to give Joey a chance. After the failure of every one of the Seinfeld-alum shows, few think Matt LeBlanc's much-hyped solo sitcom is a guaranteed success. In the first episode the still none-too-bright Joey moves to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career. He moves in with his sister (Drea de Matteo, late of The Sopranos) and her extremely bright and nerdy 20year-old son, who is, yes, a rocket scientist...
