Question: Any information about the next season of Joey? — Ellen

Ausiello: Sources say producers are looking to introduce a David Spade-type sidekick to try to liven things up. Among those up for the role: David Spade.

That's a joke.

Brian Damage · 06-06-2005, 11:12 AM

Spade would be a bad decision anyway, because just like he did with Just Shoot Me and later 8 Simple rules, it would become the David Spade show.

I'm sure it's true that they are looking for a sidekick to Joey.

Oh PLLLLEASE say it ain't so!! They bring Spade in and as you say - kiss "Joey" goodbye! Can't these execs see that by now?

I've just never liked that guy - he's too "weaselly" to me - like someone brought their pet ferret to your house and it gets loose and takes over!

It won't be Spade. That was just a joke. I know Ausiello's humor--I read his column.

Phew thank goodness it was a joke

Why don't they (any network) give David his own show and see if it would work.

Pus$y Galore · 06-07-2005, 09:23 AM

Oh thank God it was a joke! He's like the kiss of death as a co-star on shows anymore!

David Spade was not the reason 8 Simple Rules ended, the show survived the loss of John Ritter on 9/11/03 & David was brought onto the show 2 give the show some juice, the show made it w/out John (even though it was hard on the cast & his fans & family) As 4 David's other shows, such as Spin City, Michael J. Fox wanted 2 leave the show 2 be w/his family & 2 take care of hie Parkinson's.

David Spade didn't join Spin City.

Charlie Sheen took over for Michael J. Fox.

Yea CS replaced MJF in Spin City. I didn't mind him on 8SR but a lot of people didn't like how it was turned into The David Spade Show.

If you're going to bring on a new regular character, bring back Lucy Lui. She was great.

I was thinking that too. I thought that's where they were headed.

If they're going to bring in a "funny sidekick" for Joey, have Chandler (Matthew Perry) join the show for three or four episodes.
