I can't believe that the people who own the rights to this show are so stingy. First, never allowing the last 8 episodes to be shown in the US (WTF was up with that?) Yet allowing Europe to see them. And then not allowing it to come on DVD, and they wonder why people download torrents and get their shows before they come on DVD. Its because these higher ups won't allow the shows we want to be released...or worst yet release one season but not the rest. This is ridiculous. PLEASE RELEASE all of a series. Getting only one season is making me angry...and its not just Joey...there are way too many series that this happens too.

I'm so glad this 2nd season was finally released. Don't get suckered into buying the $100 bootlegs in Amazon's Marketplace, or even the $60 + $15 shipping originals on ebay. Go to Amazon.ca and get the originals there. With International Priority shipping I paid something like $50 total, and got it in about 5 days. This show is hilarioius. Ever since Friends I always thought Joey deserved his own show, and I'm glad they did it, if only for 2 seasons. I really like both seasons, but the 2nd season featuring Zack and Jimmy are hilarious. Joey's friend Zack has incredible dialogue delivery with amazing timing, and just about cracks me up everytime he opens his mouth. Michael's father Jimmy (who had a couple episodes on Friends as Chandler's crazy temporary roomate) has the insane ability to get enraged and worked up about everything and generally finishes off a conversation whilst screaming and storming out of the room. Good, good stuff, Definately a must have for any Matt LeBlanc fan!!!!!

Season 1 was funny. Season 2 is funny. Network chiefs simply couldn't give a monkey's what people like - to them it's just a ratings war. Morons. Thank goodness it's not (quite) as bad in the UK where at least I can watch the whole of series 2. But I bet we never see it released on DVD.

It is coming out in April 08 to Amazon in Canada and yes the DVD's do play on US DVD players, so like many I can't wait. I did enjoy the show though it was never reached a Friends level in quality but still good none the less.

Be like me, I like the show and for some reason us U.S. fans can't buy the DVD. Amazon Canada does sell it. It cost me something like $40 to have a REAL version of the DVD show. Don't buy from clowns making there own bootleg DVDs!

I love this show. It was simple and funny. I can't understand why NBC canceled the show. Of course it could not compete with American Idol ( that I hate, by the way ). We still have stupid show like "The Office" or the other stupid show " Ugly Betty". I can't believe this people. At least in DVD, please let us see the second season.

the show is really good. i am sorry that stupid nbc did not give it a fair shake. i laughed so hard i cried through most of it. recommend to anyone who thinks they are funny. watch this please.

Being from Germany I keep asking me that exact question whenever I think of "Joey".

It maybe did not quite turn out a huge success as "Friends" was, but it still is a rock-solid comedy series with quite a few absolutely hillarious moments, excellent actors and what is even more: it is tightly scipted.

So what the hell happens with Joey in the US? Cancelled within the second series, last 8 episodes never shown. Second series not officially released but only available from questionable sellers who allegedly are selling bootlegs with a official Warner release on the market in Canada? Oh come on Warner? Have you lost every bit of common sense?

I bought the Canadian set, it is resonably priced, quality is OK, too. All episodes are included on three discs, no extras were thrown in, but then again: who needs those? I recommend that set to every fan of the show.

Still, if you are looking for a conclusive end, you will be kind of left in midair. Clearly the makers were aiming for a third series (or even more). But anyway: it is a great series and it is a shame how it is treated by the network and the publisher.

Joey is a great series but the sellers are so greedy. Who in there right mind would pay all that money. These sellers should not be allowed to do this. They should be banned.

First, I love this series. I think it was very funny and well done. I wish it would have been allowed to last long.

Secondly, I think the prices people are charging above are too high. I bought season one for $5 at Big Lots several months ago. Which I do think it incredibly low. However, I don't see how the current sellers can have their prices so much higher than retailers do.
