ABC Family has done it again, formula tv at it's finest. They know their tweener audience and know how to deliver just what they want.
In this case it's a former tv witch, Melissa Joan Hart, in a 'Who's The Boss' remake. She's a successful City Councilwoman with a stalled love life. Joey is a washed up financier turned nanny of her live-in niece and nephew. Elementary jokes abound and the canned laughter was purchased in bulk.
Cute? Yes. Would I ever watch it again? No.
Great for tweens and teens? Yes, with the exception of a few inappropriate (for the target age) remarks. Did he say "vaginal Americans?"
Melissa Joan, will you ever land a good show? Will you lose 30 pounds and become a babe again?
Bottom Line. If you're over 17, don't waste your time.
Will the show last? If it was on a broadcast network it would be canceled within 3 episodes. On ABC Family it will do just fine.

they obviously photoshopped the picture you chose...seriously though, any bets on which episode the writers will cleverly have Joey say "wwhhooaa". The over and under are 3/6. I say by episode 3...stay tuned...if you have the stomach for it.
ReplyDeleteSure enough, Melissa & Joey had one million viewers 12-34 years old. Overall one of ABC Family's best premieres.
ReplyDeleteFormula TV? ABC Family has some pretty good mathmeticians.
Just announced, it will be around for another season.
