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?
Pleeeeeeeaaaaase bring it back! It’s the best show!!! Even my husband loved it.
I would have watched season 5, 6, 7………. I will miss the funny and serious show. They tackled some get subjects that all of today’s young people need to see and hear and could have done even more.
Are you freaking kidding me? Why would you end the show like that? Your really need to bring it back!!!!!
I loved the show and was really excited and eagerly waiting for the fifth season. Really made me sad to know that the ABC famlily has decided to end the show.. 🙁
Yes would luv to see a fith season, very sad its ending 🙁
I would have most deffinently watched a fifth season!!! I just got done watching it on Netflix and I freaking loved it got to laugh a lot too!! I was really hoping for a fifth season!! I wanted to see what would happen when the babies came and what would happen bw Lynnox and Zander !:) super disappointed that before I go to bed at night I can’t curl up with my bf and share some good laughs w eachother!
Please bring back the Melissa And Joey show. I love the Melissa and Joey show. There needs to be a season 5 please renew Melissa and Joey show for a season 5. We need to see a season 5 to see the twins being born. And to find out if they are girl twins or not. We need to see Ryder more often to see him go off to the Navy. Ryder’s sister Lennox get married to Zander. We need for it to please renew for a season 5 and more seasons. I miss this show so much please bring… Read more »
I was looking forward to watching what happened next in Melissa and Joey. I would have definitely watched Season 5. Melissa and Joey was not only funny but it was a great show for only being 20min each episode.
There should be a season 5. There still so many stories to create such as Melissa’s prenanecy, juggling career and becoming a first time mom and wife. Make Joey”s stepdaughter a permanent character and her niece making choice as 20 something, boyfriend and graduating from college. And the list goes on and on. It’s still premature to end the show.
Sooooooo want to see more of melissa and joey. Why would you end it like that. That really sucks we want to see the twins and lennox get married and what happens with the book tour and her run for congress. What a crappy way to end this wonderful show if i would of known i wouldnt of even of watched it. GOOD JOB ON CANCELLING A GREAT SHOW
Not surprised, Season 4 was terrible. This show jumped the shark with that secret daughter crap. And I missed Ryder. Dani was a poor replacement for him.
This is complete bs I live for Melissa and Joey they shouldn’t be canceled. They need several seasons next to see Mel have the babies and her get elected and the babies grow up.
I think this show is great. It is funny and very entertaining. The entire cast plays well off each other. Very disappointed its not being renewed for a fifth season. IT SHOULD BE RENEWED!!!!!!!!!
I would of watch several more seasons. Torn hope to see season 5 aired
Why are you cancelling the only show I watch, I looked forward to seeing it every Wednesday and so did my girls and I also recorded it just in case I wasn’t there! Why, Why, Why?
