Melissa & Joey S1-S3

Seasons 2 and 4 are missing please include them

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!

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a more forced, boring, and unoriginal sit com in my life. At the beginning it says "filmed in front of a live studio audience" which is absolute trash, unless this audience finds absolutely everything the cast members say hilarious (a laugh track plays after about every sentence). The acting is poor. Very poor. I feel like the only one that can somewhat act is the girl who plays Lennox, but the script is too bad for her to show her full talent. Every single "joke" seems to be based on the same thing, which wasn't even funny in the first place. Every time I watch it, I think how was it not cancelled after the first season? I don't want to know anyone that finds this funny, because they are probably as annoying as the awful jokes and acting in this show. Just please, stop making Melissa and Joey, you've tried, you've failed, just admit it, and get this poor excuse for a comedy off my TV!!

I really did. I tried so hard, I watched it and read the premise for the next episode, and loved them. Great ideas, poor execution. I want to point out that this is my first review, so bare with me. This show is just so bad, and there are so very little negative reviews, that I feel I have to warn the public. The script is bad, the acting is over exaggerated, and the fake laughter is EVERYWHERE. The Melissa character, as well as the Joey character needs to be toned down. To much makeup, unnatural lines and just to much everything. It doesn't feel natural, any of it. I feel like the actors are over exaggerating their lines so that it can seem funny. Which just makes this show all the more unwatchable. And the writing is just bad, I sometimes felt embarrassed for the actors that they had to say those things. I just wanted it to stop. And like I said, I really tried, 20 episodes tried. I mean, I'm the sort of person that thinks The Secret Life of the American Teenager was okay. But this, this is just a disgrace.

I don't hate it. Oh, my god, I don't hate it. Also, Joey's looks like it is drawn to perfection (a little too much perfection). The writing isn't very convincing, the characters are not super developed. But I love Joey's character and 50% of Melissa's character but even with all of that, I can't say that I was very disappointed with it. But since I watched it on Hulu thinking that it was a canceled show at first, I cannot say that I gave it much credit in the first place. The plot from episode to episodes varies more than enough, but the plots are far from strong. They are rather weak. But then I have to remind myself that this show is on ABC family, so I shouldn't have the same expectations of it as I would a show that was on ABC. So overall, I'm glad to see Melissa is back!

How is this thing last 4 seasons. I don't usually write review even if the sitcoms is really bad, I just move one. But this one is just unbearable and I have to write one. First, all the actors are really good looking but their characters are just not likable the chemistry between all the actors are just awful. The delivery just suck so bad, I even think some of the jokes might be funny if they deliver in a different way. They speak so fast for the punch line and make a weird facial expression to show it's a punch line but the joke is not funny. Another annoying factors is most of the jokes are not funny at all but the laugh track of the audience is just forcing too much to change to another channel.

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've watched every show Melissa has ever been in, and I've enjoyed all of them. However, so far her character on Melissa and Joey is a little over the top. I think the character needs to be toned down a little, in many different areas. First, Melissa is a beautiful girl. Why cover her face in what appears to be clown make up? Second, the outfits she wears are a little bit too "Soap Opera." I've never seen politicians dressed like that in real life. And third, the character is somewhat annoying. She's way too loud, and her lines seem just a little to "snappy," and unnatural. She sounds like how you would expect someone to sound after drinking 4 pots of coffee. I know that none of this is the fault of the actress, because I've seen her other shows, and her characters have all been played really well. I think the show has potential, and I like the storyline so far... Melissa's character (and even Joey's to a degree) just need to be toned down.

This show never makes a joke that is even remotely funny. I feel like I'm watching a show for children. The humor can be seen as 5 children sitting around a table and laughing because they are talking about sh*t. Everyone is trying to be as funny as they can but is failing horribly and it's sad to watch. You don't even get to know the characters before the childish lines of "humor" begins, I don't even feel that I'm liking any of them. But seriously, this show should get an reward or something for being the fastest show to be such a shi**y one. Season 1, Episode 1, 4 seconds in it starts with this line, "Look at You, public servant by day, hottie by night." and then the audience starts laughing really hard like they are threatened to laugh so they don't get shot. A very bad show, don't waste your time.

This is a new show for British audiences, and to be honest even my first impression from the trailer was a bad one. Even from the title you can tell, 'Melissa and Joey' WOW how original and imaginative. Anyway, nothing else was on so I wanted to see what it was like. My expectations were wrong, it's much worse than I imagined it would be. I mean surely comedies must include jokes and funny/uncomfortable situations for the characters, I haven't found ONE single joke in any of the episodes I have watched, and its way way WAY too safe, so much so it's like watching somebody's everyday life. It has got to the point now where I watch it hoping that it redeems its self and actually makes me laugh, sadly that is yet to happen. I have watched some really bad TV shows and movies(and some really good ones), but nothing has ever compelled me enough to write a good or bad review. It's just that it feels like my duty to lower the average score as much as T can, because it seems like something can be called comedy if canned laughter is put over a conversation that is told like a terrible comedian tells a punchline, (AWFUL acting, worse than a kids Nickelodeon comedy) but the punchline is the expected response of a normal conversation. I listen to the words they say, and then hear laughter from the audience and shout out loud to the TV (the show gets that bad) saying 'THAT WAS NOT A JOKE, WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING ?!?!?!'. I said to myself with almost certainty that it couldn't get past the first season, then I come online and see that they have made FOUR F-ING SEASONS of this borefest. There must be some kind of bribery going on at the top of the hierarchy for it to have lasted over 100 episodes, because I really don't understand how it has been successful.
