Ok, given the hype, I tuned in last week. I noticed a few problems in the plot:
Joey is going to try out for the role of Richard III.
This is Joey… dumb as a sock of gumballs. With a heavy New York accent (now in LA). Who has never been classically trained. Who has never done Shakespeare before. Who doesn’t understand one syllable of it (and he tried, but failed to understand the text). Who can’t even remember more than one line of the text at a time. God bless him, he’ll at least try.
