Flashbacks are so nonsensical. My point is 6.7 actually. 6 is the lowest point for Friends in my points.

flashbacks again

Joey is going to have a second interview!
Lady_Targaryen17 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Joey tells the Friends that he refused to give a new interview because he was afraid of saying wrong things again, like the interview he did before. The Friends (specially Rachel) give Joey the support to make the interview, but Joey asks them to be near him to help him not say anything wrong or stupid again. The interview is in the Central Perk ( Joey didn't know that the magazine would pay the expenses) and almost everything goes well, with the exception of the end of it, when Joey says that he doesn't waste his time watching soap operas.
Ps: Rachel stays ridiculous saying ''gal pal Rachel Green'' all the time!

Not too good, but an important change

I don't like flashback episodes in Friends. First I rated 5, but other things in this episode raise my avaliation for It. I think It's the First episode in Friends to face gay issue in a better way with less prejudice and more aceptation. Except of course the flashback scenes, but They're well picked. Second, actress Sasha who worked in Dawson's Creek and after have a gay fanbase transform this episode in a progressive especial one of the series in that year of 2002.
The second best clip show
brindrobnjak22 July 2019
After a couple of less than satisfying clip shows, season 8's delivered. It was funny till the end, the clips were hilarious, and it wasn't made out of flashbacks completely, probably the least of all the clip shows, which is great. And it focuses on Joey, my second favourite character, so it's nearly impossible this episode could fail to impress me.
A flashback of all Joey's is all that we fans deserve

Although this episode is made mostly of the previous clips, it's one of the best. :)
We all love Joey not only because he's funny but also because he has a big, kind heart.
A collection of all the best Joey scenes is all we fans demand and deserve.
And Joey seemed to have too many fun moments, it's good to see him calmly answer the interviewer's questions. That way we can see him perform good and all the answers are thoughtful for his friends.
A Joey themed flashback episode
studioAT29 July 2017
Yep, it's another flashback episodes, that 'Friends' seemed to have once a series from series 4 onwards.
As with lots of series 8 the focus of this one is Joey, and he has the bulk of the lines in the linking scenes of new material in between flashbacks, while the other cast members get to chill out on the couch.
Yes, these episodes offer a chance to see funny moments from old episodes, and are a saving in the budget, but they don't make for very entertaining viewing.

The One with Joey's Interview
ComedyFan20103 September 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Just another of time waste episodes This time it is about Joey.
The "plot" is that he is giving an interview to Soap Opera Digest and is scared that he will mess it up again. So he has the whole group sitting there making sure he doesn't say anything dumb
And of course more than 75% of the episodes are flashback from the shows reminding us of Joey's past work and love life
He still does say slightly dumb things, like calling himself "mento" or saying that he doesn't know any huge gay people
But the most stupid thing comes at the end when he says how he thinks Soaps sucks and he doesn't watch them. That was actually not a bad joke

Garbage

As much as I understand the dislike of clip shows.. I used to be okay with them, having never realized how often friends did them.
But I'm ok with them way back when, when they came out on tv initially.
I will say this... would I rather watch 22 minutes of season 9 writing and acting...or like 15 minutes of season 9 and 7 minutes of clips when the show was better?
Uhhhh....anything that reduces the season 6 7 8 9 10 writing is much more preferable.
So....i never need to see this episode again.
Rating....3 since I reserve my 1s and 2s for truly atrocious. This wasnt that bad. Just not funny or entertaining. Hell...I'll be generous and go with a 4.
It could have been worse.
How's that for a feather in your cap?

Recap of Joey
vivianla30 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Joey is persuaded to do an interview for Soap Opera Digest. The last time he did an interview and said that he wrote the lines the writers killed his character off.
He does the interview while the gang listens on the couch. He orders all the muffins after hearing the magazine pays for the food.
At the end it seems to have gone okay but then the reporter comes back and asks him what is his favourite soap opera other than Days of Our Lives? He replies he doesn't watch any, he has a life.
Later in the apartment the gang looks at the magazine and are surprised the last question was not put in. Joey contacted the reporter who he called nice. He slept a little with the reporter.
