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 looked forward each week to this show, they cancel foolish shows that I will never understand, but family shows like this, which there are so few of, are canceled. Make us all happy and return this adorable show.
Don’t cancel the show,it keeps me and my family laughing
WHY 🙁 Please this is one of the few shows that I actually like. Please keep it on. Or put Joey in anther show he is hot.
Disappointed.
Please don’t end the show Melissa and Joey. Please renew it for more seasons its to early for it to end. They could make more seasons and do so much more with the show if they renewed it for more seasons. They could make more episodes and seasons that has to do with Mel and Joe having to do with there baby’s and more of Mel’s Neice and Nephew. Please renew it for a whole lot more seasons and episodes.
Don’t cancel this show! There could be SO many more stories if they had a baby together! To cancel this would be a big mistake! I don’t like many other shows ABC family airs so if this goes so does this channel from my tv!
Please reconsider. I really looked forward to this sitcom
I love this show I don’t know why they would cancel a good show they need to renewed the show Whole family sit and Watch the show on Wednesday night we will miss the family time
I loved this show and I am 53. My 27 year old daughter and I were excited each week to watch the new episode. This was one of those wholesome, just plain good humor, laugh out loud shows. My husband even watched it with us. Hopefully, another network will pick it up!
Why would you cancel very good show. I love this showed so much I can’t wait until it come on Wednesday .Please don’t cancel Melissa and Joey.
Why would you cancel a perfectly good show. Better than the show Reba was. Better than the show Friend’s. My kids love this show. It should have a fifth season. We would like to see what happens with Melissa and Joey’s start of a family for them. There is so much more to write.
I liked the show and would love to see it continue. New people take over and have to make their mark, but I don’t think ending this series is a good idea. JMHO.
There isn’t very much left on television to watch these days and shows like this should be kept.
I love the show I would have watched a fifth season
It was a favorite for my wife & I. I’m 54 & she’s 38
I would have watched a fifth season, unless they manage to have a satisfactory conclusion to the fourth. I really enjoyed the gentle sometimes risque humour in this series and think it’s a shame that there doesn’t seem to be enough of an audience for this type of sitcom today.
We all look forward to melissa and joey. We need more family shows that we do not have to explain to the children watching them. This is a mistake. It should be renewed!
