I suggested this a long time ago...
Mind you, I'm not taking credit for it. You'd have to have an IQ of 5 to not realize that if LeBlanc wanted to do it, that it had a good shot... Cheers spun off Frasier and now Friends will spin-off Joey. Although I'm hoping for a title change. I also hope they move his character to Los Angeles, as a way of explaining why the rest of the friends are gone. Of course, they say they have no intention of using the finale as the launching pad, but doesn't it make sense that it should be? It all started when Rachel burst into Central Perk in a wedding dress, why shouldn't it all end when Joey moves to L.A.? (hollywood.com)
