I adore how confident Joey is in her own ability. Pair that with Deaf people's cultural tendency to be blunt/straightforward, and you get an absolute powerhouse who knows she's the shit, isn't afraid to say so, and has the numbers to back it up. Joey Lucas for President.
I remember seeing an interview with Marlee Matlin where the reporter basically asked her what it was like to be her day-to-day in Hollywood. Her response was something along the lines of "I'm good looking, good at my job, and when I walk in a room and start talking everyone listens. It's pretty good" 😂😂😂
Pfft, I'm sorry, I'm coming here 8 years after you recorded this to put on the internet, because I have to point out a relic of it's time. You're a teacher, aren't you? Because I can see the SMART Ink overlay they used on SMART boards back when I was in high school; the boards that came with an attached projector, and a set of color-coded stylus markers that let you draw over the current image on the screen to highlight things and circle things and do math problems written out. Man it's been forever since I saw that logo and it just, completely opened up nostalgia in my mind, thank you for that.
Oh my god, I tuned that thing out while I was watching, mannnnn that brings me back. Everyone thought those things were gonna replace whiteboards, but I haven't seen a single one since I graduated highschool and moved on to colleges.
Wasn’t she Dating Q? lol of course she’d go for an omnipotent being posing as a cantankerous campaign manager. For the uninitiated look up John De Lancie and Star Trek
She didn't break his heart. He should have pursued her further rather than stopping then. The fact that she was with someone else when he knocked doesn't mean she wasn't into him. That's called being an attractive woman. She looked at him in the doorway as though to say "I'm sorry", but not necessarily "I'm not into you"
Curious if IRL a person who is deaf in politics would pick a translator of same gender or different. I am sad that I thought hmm maybe she picked a male voice to give her voice more weight. I miss west wing. It made / makes me think.
@@brontewcat Why? You think that it is written in the script in ASL? They needed an actor with decent timing, who could emote a bit when Joey would be emoting a lot. Possibly Kenny's actor really does know ASL, but it isn't particularly necessary.
She used the same kind of guy in Reasonable Doubts where she played Tess Harper opposite Mark Harmon. I'm not sure if it's a conscious decision to use a guy as her voice. Maybe he's the best she could find for the job regardless of gender or other attributes that have little or nothing to do with conveying her message to the world around her. Shame we can't see the body of her work with a female interpreter to see if there's any significant difference.
@David People who use ASL watch television and would be all over it if a phony were used… somebody pretending to interpret. Would a program use an actor interpreting Russian who doesn’t speak it and speaks gibberish?
This show had so many utterly fantastic side characters that deserved more time on screen.
I wanted to name my daughter Ainsley.
Hand to God!
She does look good.
Joey Lucas was extremely pretty 😍

No one shook Kenny's hand...
you arent supposed to interact with interpreters. its impolite
@@MaSeshield really is this a real thing?
@@Snowy123Kinda, yeah. Effectively you're meant to treat them as if they aren't there and you're only communicating with who they're interpreting.
Even Toby gave an awkward smile around the deaf lady.
Picasso1975 your profile picture is outstanding
This is good for asl learning practice
I have a crush on Kenny.
So did Joey Lucas, as it turned out
what do you mean?
I have one on Joey.
Same. If I had watched this show as a kid, I probably would have realized I liked guys a lot earlier
I'm still trying to figure out how to watch this show again. My streaming services don't carry it and DVDs seem very expensive.
Right here on TH-cam. You can purchase by the Season or Episode.
Try your local library. I found the entire series there.
Its been on HBO Max (now just Max) for years.
Children of a Lesser God.
If you know, you know.
Too bad Joey broke Josh's heart. But Donna was better for him anyway.
Agreed -

Good question, although I think at least the character Joey Lucas had no problem being assertive when she wanted to be heard all by herself.
It’s possible, but it may have been more pragmatic - they needed an actor who knew American Sign Language

Very nice.
Joey Lucas should have been a couple with Josh
I liked Joey and Josh, but ultimately we get Donna and Josh...
