So Matt LeBlanc plays a character supposedly based on himself. The big roll to distinguish him from Joey... The character comes across as Joey... only with a slightly lower pitched voice and less excitable... and pretty darn mean! But stupid as ever.
I think what it comes down to is that Episodes is not funny. At least not in any way I appreciate. It's not witty, it's not clever and it’s not even slapstick or innuendous. It's embarrassment TV. It's the sort of show where you are meant to feel embarrassment for the characters and this is meant to be funny. Like The Inbetweeners or Peep Show. But I just don't like it. I feel the embarrassment sure enough, but it just makes for painful and rather unenjoyable television.
