Melissa & Joey (2010–2015)
6/10
So who's the boss
28 June 2013
Being that Melissa&Joey is on the ABC Family Network certain parameters will have to be observed. Still this 21st century somewhat warmed over version of Who's The Boss does have its appeal. And not like Melissa Joan Hart formerly of Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Joey Lawrence formerly of Blossom haven't got experience in the G rated world.

Melissa is a City Councilman who's life is already in a fishbowl and a family scandal sent her sister and brother-in-law fleeing leaving their two kids with her. Budding bad girl Taylor Spreitler and class nerd Nick Robinson. Given their types different issues and plot situations will come up for each.

Former commodities trader Joey Lawrence comes into their lives, his life one that was ruined by her family takes the job as a nanny, just like Tony Danza did with Joanna Kerns back in the day. Danza must have coached Lawrence for the part. No Brooklyn accent, but Lawrence has the rest of Danza down pat.

Melissa&Joey has already lasted three seasons and it's pleasant enough entertainment. Not terribly demanding but nice to see.
