Melissa & Joey has officially been cancelled after four successful seasons. The series starred former witch
"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 Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence, and the whole cast and crew who worked so hard on this successful show."
Her announcement left me puzzled. The kids were grown from the beginning of the series, wouldn't the next logical step be Mel getting pregnant? Just because Mel and Joe are finally married doesn't necessarily mean the show should end. Why didn't they move forward with the show? But this is ABC family we're talking about, they've cancelled a lot of great shows with only one season. At least Melissa & Joey lasted for four seasons.
Now with Melissa Joan Hart no longer tied up with a show how about starting a new one. I'd love it if they continued the 90s fan favourite Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. Continuing the show would be a great move, and show continuations seem to be popular nowadays (For instance Heroes, and more currently, the Boy Meets World continuation, Girl Meets World). The continuation would attract new viewers and of course older ones. Perhaps call it Sabrina's Teenage Witch. Sabrina and Harvey could be raising a little witch of their own, maybe even a few. Salem would have to return! I would love it if that happened, but I'm extremely doubtful.
All I can say is keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.
18 more episodes are left of Melissa & Joey, one of which airs tomorrow night guest starring the amazing Valerie Harper.
