Weeknight WatchWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
It's still drawing plenty of interest, but a lukewarm 6.3 out of 10 from audiences and a short run with a modest audience held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?

- Made for anyone who wants a laugh.

- Light and funny.
- The pace
- 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 17 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
Joey has struck out on his own and moved to Hollywood, hoping to truly make it as an actor. Joey says goodbye to a time when his friends were his family and welcomes the chance to turn his family into his friends. After reuniting with his high-strung sister Gina, a strong and sexy hairdresser, Joey moves in with her genius 20-year-old son, graduate student Michael, who literally is a rocket scientist. What Joey lacks in book smarts, however, he more than makes up for with his people skills, making him the best new friend his nephew could ask for.
