In a nostalgia-packed surprise no one saw coming, Friends fans can finally watch the elusive last eight episodes of Joey, the short-lived 2004 NBC spinoff starring Matt LeBlanc as everyone’s favorite endearingly clueless Tribbiani.
The series was abruptly cancelled in 2006 halfway through Season 2, leaving American audiences with a Joey-shaped cliffhanger that lingered for almost two decades. But now, at long last, those missing episodes have been released on the official Friends YouTube channel, giving fans a chance to see how the story really wrapped.
Launched just four months after Friends ended, the show followed Joey as he traded New York for Los Angeles, only to watch his new TV gig fizzle and end up moving in with family. Despite a strong start (the pilot pulled in an impressive 18.6 million viewers), ratings steadily dipped, averaging 10.2 million in Season 1 and 7.1 million in Season 2.
Two decades later, Joey Tribbiani is back… and this time, the episodes actually aired. Grab your snacks, settle in, and let the binge-watching begin.
