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 liked the show and disappointed that is was cancelled. I don’t watch very much TV but invested my time for this show.
Another fun and entertaining show gone down the drain of idiotic excuses. Another ridiculous reason -oh, they got married and the kids are older, time to move on, and blah, blah, blah. If all the cast wants to return then there are plenty of us who will still watch. They dumped Lying Game and Twisted, atleast they should keep something I watch on this Network. Right now, all that twill be left are The Fosters and Switched.
I really want to see the next season of melissa and joey, so i can find out about the baby and how they are going to acked about the collage choice of rider. That is why i want to see melissa and joey season 5.
Personally I would have loved a fifth season to carry on mel and joe having a baby… Boy or girl? Name? I would have also liked to know what happens with Lennox and Zander… If they do stay together in the future? Also lastly the kids careers and how they do (Lennox being a writer/journalist and Ryder going into the navy maybe even not finishing basic training)… Yes you leave with a hint on all of these topics but there’s never true closure… This closure I would have looked for in a season 5 and would have enjoyed watching, to… Read more »
Mel and joe have twins the last episode
i cannot believe it. This show is just a great every day old fashioned show. It’s great to watch something that doesn’t have violence in it, cussing or a STUPID reality show. It’s a decent show and should be left on the air. It reminds me of the time of Reba, who’s the boss, happy days. This is a good decent show.
I really wish it was not going to end. We need more shows like this on tv.
Please do not cancel the Melissa and Joey show. And yes I think there should be a Season 5 and more seasons after that. Please renew the show for more seasons and more episodes please. There is still more stuff to this show that needs to happen still that has not happen yet. I want to see Mel on the show get pregnant and have a baby . You have not show Mel pregnant at all yet. Also I want to see who Lennox ends up with and they haven’t shown that yet ethier. I also want to see if… Read more »
I am so sad to see this show come to an end. There is still so much to learn especially since Joey’s daughter was JUST brought into this season, and Rider says he wants to join the military?? What happens there? All the characters are so lovable and it makes me sad that you will never get to find out what happens. Who does Lenex end up with? Mel and Joey have such chemistry and we never get to find out what her pregnancy test says 🙁 So disappointed…
I never watch abc family before Melissa’s and Joey. Don’t end it!
Melissa and Joey have amazing chemistry. It makes no sense to end the show just when they are ready to start a family. Why do all the network’s cancel shows at their peak? Please give us one more season!!!!!!
Send a petition, I bet you will get an overwhelming response.
Canceling this show is the biggest mistake ABC Family has made from a programming perspective. It is a wonderful show that has shown the characters developing and maturing in significant ways. It’s the only ABC Family series I watch so sponsors be aware. Your advertising dollars will lose a lot of value with the absence of we Melissa & Joey fans.
I’m in love with this show and finding out they have cancelled the show makes me furious. I love the show. Wouldn’t miss an episode for nothing. Please give season 5 to me.
Please do not cancel this show. Melissa Joan hart and Joey Lawrence are so great together. A great family show that I sit down with my 13 year old and watch each week. There are so many story lines left to be written, to be told. I loved them in My Fake Fiance as well. Season 5?? …..YES!!!!!!!!
It would’ve been really nice to continue this tv show of mellisa and Joey. This show is the best comedy ever and I personally would like to see season 5… All my family watched this and it is brilliant, and awesome show. I hope there would be a season 5…
Both myself and my four nieces and their children are very upset the Melissa and Joey show is not being renewed. Its a great family show and we have loved all the characters for 4 seasons, it seems they keep these badly written shows and eliminate the most enjoyable family shows, please give it at least one more season if not many more. Thank you.
Why does this have to cancel? This show is amazing. I want to know more about Melissa and Joey future.
I am so disappointed to see that this show is ending. They change their minds and pick up shows for more seasons all the time….maybe they could for this one too?? I love Melissa and Joey together, they crack me up. Why end something so soon into its story that makes people smile? Please don’t take it off 🙁
please don’t cancel Melissa & Joey I enjoy the show very much and every week my 2 teenage daughter 19 & 24 sit down tighter and watche Melissa & Joey and baby daddy.Please give it a chance there are many story lines you can have them have twins and raise a family/Ryder can start a famil the niece can take over for mel politicaly. Its basically a GREAT FAMILY SHOW!
