Melissa & Joey

Melissa & Joey is my comfort show. I can always turn it on and I'll have a fun time watching it. The characters, story line for the episodes, and of course the humor. I do miss simple shows like this these days.

I just watched the first five minutes of this vacuum. It's truly one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Throughout that unbearably long five minutes, I actually had to create my own entertainment based on the show itself, that's how god awful it is. I started saying the word "laugh" every time there was supposed to be a funny part. It's like I recognise the joke they're trying to make but it's just done so poorly that I find absolutely no humour in it at all. Most times I don't mind a laugh track, I enjoyed Friends for example. I continue to enjoy The Big Bang Theory and Mike and Molly, but this abortion of comedy had me wanting to poke at my ears with a long, pointy object just so I wouldn't hear that mind numbing clattering ever again. I seriously cannot believe that this show made it past it's first episode let alone get another season. When I see quality shows cancelled or not even given a proper go it bugs the hell out of me but to see a show like this, one of the single worst atrocity's mankind has inflicted upon it's fellow man since the Holocaust, get renewed it makes me die a little inside. I fear for the fate of humanity if the general consensus is that this is a quality show, I really do.

I would actually give this show 7.5,but since IMDb doesn't allow that,I'll go with 8.This show is based on a very peculiar concept: I mean,male nanny who was once a trader but was then hired by a politician to take care of her niece and nephew: who's dad was the reason the man was reduced to what he became? It's an impossible situation.But if you can get past that,it's a good show with some good quality entertainment that hasn't disappointed so far.It has potential, which means we can always look forward to better episodes.It's a light hearted comedy,so i suggest everyone to look at it that way rather than comparing it to other sitcoms or questioning it's plausibility.So if you are ever bored and want a good show to pass your time: You have it!

Melissa and Joey tells the everyday life of young councilwoman Melissa Burke as she becomes legal guardian of her teenage nephew - Ryder - and niece - Lennox; and Joe Longo, a successful businessman who, after falling victim to a scheme and losing everything, becomes Melissa's male nanny, or "manny" - much to his own frustration.

What could seem like a bland show actually reveals itself as sweet and very funny! The characters go wonderfully together, each of their distinct personalities is adorable enough to fall in love with. Melissa's childishness and apparent ADHD brings a lot of energy to the show. Combined with Joe's charming sarcasm and egocentricity, Ryder's adorable and innocent goofiness and Lennox's selfish yet nurturing concerns about the world makes Melissa and Joey delightfully entertaining, a pleasure to watch!

Up until now I would have given a 10 star rating. I do not like the actress that is playing Joes daughter, I am not sure why they even had to add this character. Did the show take off so well you got carried away? What happened to Holly? What happened to Mel's job and those issues at the office, what happened to her office? Maybe you married them too soon. I will be surprised if there is another season after this one and its only been two shows so far this season. I think if someone doesn't fix something I am afraid you will look back and see that you moved way too fast on this one. I really like these two together but its just not the same anymore. I only look forward to Baby Daddy now, if M&J were on AFTER that show I would probably be turning it off now. Sad. =(
