Why is Joey still on?
It's a strange frightening world we live in where Arrested Development gets cancelled but NBC keeps Joey running even though its ratings, to use the scientific term, "really suck." So why does NBC not yank it from the lineup? According to today's issue of EW, Matt LeBlanc gets paid no matter what, and the network would have to pay a penalty to Warner Brothers if the show were cancelled early. Basically, it's just cheaper for NBC to keep the show going. If that's how shows live or die in TV land, I may just turn off the set for good and start entertaining myself with finger puppets.
