Matt LeBlanc received a People’s Choice Award for his work on the first season of Joey, which debuted in 2004. He famously said in his acceptance speech that the show would continue as long as fans wanted it to, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The series, also featuring Jennifer Coolidge, Andrea Anders, Paulo Costanzo, Drea de Matteo, and Miguel A. Núñez Jr., was canceled after only two seasons. This was ironic, considering the show began with Joey moving to Los Angeles only to discover his own sitcom had been canceled. The final eight episodes of Joey weren’t broadcast on U.S. television, and after the first season didn’t sell well on DVD, American fans couldn’t even purchase the second season. It took twenty years for fans in the U.S. to finally see how the show ended. As the theme song suggests, life didn’t go as planned, but ultimately, everything worked out.
