ABC Family is breaking up with Melissa & Joey. The cable channel has cancelled the sitcom after four seasons.
On Melissa & Joey, up-and-coming local politician Melanie Burke (Melissa Joan Hart) hires recently divorced commodities broker Joe Longo (Joey Lawrence) as a nanny for her niece and nephew (Taylor Spreitler and Nick Robinson). Mel and Joe eventually fell in love and in season three, they were married.
The cast and crew are still filming the show’s fourth season and will wrap next week. A statement from ABC Family notes “The comedy will conclude its storyline at the end of the fourth season, to air later this summer.”
ABC Family’s new Executive Vide-President of Programming and Development, Karey Burke, said, “We are proud of the milestones Melissa & Joey has achieved, being the network’s first sitcom to reach 100 episodes and the network’s first comedy to win a People’s Choice Award… Now that the kids are grown and Mel and Joe have married and are looking towards starting a family, it seemed like a natural time to bring the series to a close. We are grateful to (stars) Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence and the whole cast and crew who worked so hard on this successful show.”
By the time, the series comes to an end, more than 100 episodes of Melissa & Joey will have been produced. The 100th installment, which airs March 18th, will serve as the mid-season finale.
What do you think? Do you like the Melissa & Joey TV show? Do you think that it should be ending or would you have watched a fifth season?
I wish they didn’t cancelled Melissa and Joey shows.
It is a good show and I will miss it, but I am glad that the show will get a chance to tie up all the story lines. I have enjoyed many laughs with this show. Well this gives meSon to make sure I do not miss an episode.
I don’t agree with this at all the show is not ready to tie up the Storey line at all. They still need to make a episode about the show where Melisss and Joey have a new honeymoon to where it is longer then the last one. Cause their recent honeymoon did not last long at all and they need another one. And they need some more episodes that they show Melissa being pregnant several times with Joe’s baby that it will be a different baby she has with him. Meaning they will show her in labor to with Melissa… Read more »
What the heck! Melissa and Joey better not be cancelled I love this show. And I want it renewed for a 5th Season. I have seen every episode and I watch the show every week. The show is just getting good too where Mel and Joey are talking about having a baby. I want to see them have a baby together and more then 1 baby. This is my number 1 favorite show on ABC Family and it is a very popular show. Please renew it for a 5th Season. Please renew it for a 5th season. I will be… Read more »
I rarely watch sitcoms but love Melissa & Joey! I think you need real people in charge of programming.
Please don’t cancel this series. It is just a great series. Love both of them and the kids.
I love Melissa and Joey. Can’t believe it’s getting cancelled. I have watched Melissa since her “Sabina” days. I guess I’ll have to start buying more books for my kindle, looks like my tv days are so be coming to an end. This will be the tenth show that I watch to come to an end.
We must be watching the same shows….
I can not believe you are canceling Melissa and Joey they have so much chemistry together and the show is so funny. Joe just found the daughter he didn’t even know he had and as far as the other kids they can just go to a local college on the show just write it in that way.Please don’t cancel this show I really enjoy it.
Naturally..a family can sit down and watch this show…you better cancel it because it is not totally inappropriate …. what is wrong with the people in charge?
This makes me sad to see the series end so abruptly! I love this show and wish that they would make more shows like it in the future! Most of their other shows are just programs that are competing against the CW and belong on the CW not ABCFamily!

you need to realized that I was talking about the cw network programming shows on are On 8pm to 10pm and abc family shows are on at 8pm to 10pm I am the reason why the abc family shows are being canceled I have no time to watch them on tv. So I discovered On Demand and DVR
I am disappointed that this show is being canceled but don’t agree pretty little lairs should be canceled until the story plays out the only people who’d want it canceled our those who haven’t followed that show from the beginning and are unware of the huge following that show has !
I would have watched season five everytime I get into a show they cut them to early I’m getting tired of this a lot of shows they have on I don’t care for Melissa and Joey I care for they take off.
I think the show can expand with her niece in college and working. Her nephew could get himself into comic situations and Joey ends up helping him get out of his whatever he gets into without thinking first and Mel not always finding out.
Please don’t cancel the show, My family loves to watch it and if you have two teenage boys, it is hard to find shows they like to watch with mom and dad. I love the language and family togetherness. It seems you guys always cancel the good shows and leave ones that are harmful to watch. Too much sex, drug and inappropriate language on tv these days.
I love the show, as well as The Fosters and Young and Hungry. I’ve watched Joey Lawrence grow up and Melissa Joan Hart since SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH. Shows like Pretty Little Liars can go. It’s not a family originated show. ABC FAMILY is supposed to be family originated. The other shows I mentioned watching my daughters family watches. They don’t let their kids 7 & under watch shows they don’t need to see with sex, inappropriate language is used or a lot of violence.
This show had gone downhill and you can tell they don’t know what else to do with the storylines. I miss having Ryder around. Marco and Joey’s daughter are boring and irritating.
This is not true Melissa and Joey are not going down hill. And Joe’s daughter is awesome on the show she is funny just like Joey. I don’t think anything about the show or the people are boring. They are all great on the show. And it does not need to be cancelled it needs to be renewed for a season 5 with more new episodes. And more new seasons and episodes after that.
