“Melissa & Joey” is an ABC Family original television series that premiered on August 17, 2010. 

The series follows Mel who is a local politician from a political family. When a family scandal leaves her niece Lennox and nephew Ryder without their parents, Mel takes them in. Meanwhile, Joe is a former commodities trader left bankrupt after a Ponzi scheme and finds himself searching for a job. So when Mel finds it hard to handle an instant family and her own life, she hires Joe to become the family's new male nanny, or “manny”.

The series stars Melissa Joan Hart as Mel Burke, Joey Lawrence as Joe Longo, Taylor Spreitler as Lennox and Nick Robinson as Ryder.

The show stars two former teen idols who were notable for roles they played in popular 1990s sitcoms, Lawrence for “Gimme a Break!” and “Blossom” and Hart for “Clarissa Explains It All” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”. Hart and Lawrence are both listed as executive producers of the series and have each directed individual episodes.

Season 4 of “Melissa & Joey” will premiere on October 22, 2014 with a Halloween episode and then there will be a Christmas episode in December so I think the rest of Season 4 will be airing next year.

I'm following “Melissa & Joey” and I just started watching it in the beginning of this month and I liked it right away. I definitely should have started watching it earlier but it's better late than never. I was a big fan of “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” when I was younger and Melissa Joan Hart is just as good in “Melissa & Joey”! Every episode is only about 22 minutes long so I watched multiple episodes per day and I quickly watched through all of the seasons and Season 4 will premiere with a Halloween special episode in October.
