The Unaired Episodes Of ‘Joey’ Set In L.A. Just Dropped — Here’s Where To Watch For Free

*Friends* superfans, rejoice! You can finally watch how the short-lived spinoff, *Joey,* actually ends. The final eight episodes of the 2004 NBC sitcom, starring Matt LeBlanc as everyone’s favorite lovable goofball, Joey Tribbiani, never aired in the U.S. after the show was canceled mid–Season 2 back in 2006. But now, those long-lost installments have resurfaced, and you can watch for free! Who Else Was Along for the Ride? -------------------------------- Alongside LeBlanc, the show featured Drea de Matteo, Paulo Costanzo, Jennifer Coolidge , and Andrea Anders. The premise was a classic Joey escapade. He leaves New York for Los Angeles to level up his acting career , reconnects with his high-strung sister, Gina (played by de Matteo), and learns to navigate life with his genius nephew, Michael (played by Costanzo). Created by *Friends* alums Shana Goldberg-Meehan and Scott Silveri, the pilot actually launched to record numbers – pulling in 18.6 million viewers – before the excitement faded through its first two seasons. Why the Spinoff Didn’t Stick ---------------------------- After the series wrapped, longtime *Friends* executive producer and director Kevin S. Bright shared why *Joey* struggled to resonate. In a 2006 interview with The Age, he said the character drifted too far from the version fans loved: “On ‘Friends,’ Joey was a womanizer but we enjoyed his exploits... He was a solid friend. Joey was deconstructed to be a guy who couldn’t get a job, couldn’t ask a girl out. He became a pathetic, mopey character. I felt he was moving in the wrong direction, but I was not heard.” How to Watch the Long-Lost Episodes ----------------------------------- If you’ve spent years wondering how *Joey* actually wrapped up, the wait is officially over. The eight “missing” episodes from Season 2 , the ones NBC never broadcast in the U.S., have finally resurfaced, and they’re easier to watch than ever. **All of them are now streaming for free on the official *Friends* YouTube channel, where they’ve been added alongside the other 38 episodes** to complete the entire series in one place. Whether you’re revisiting the show for nostalgia or catching the unaired episodes for the first time, this is the most accessible the series has ever been!
