This afternoon ABC Family announced the cancellation of comedy Melissa & Joey after four seasons and over 100 episodes. The series will wrap its run later this year.
Karey Burke, Executive Vice President of Programming and Development at ABC Family, released the following statement: "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 toward 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."
The comedy's 100th episode will air as the fourth season mid-season finale on Wednesday, March 18. The final episodes will debut later in 2015.
Created by David Kendall and Bob Young, the comedy stars Melissa Joan Hart, Joey Lawrence, Taylor Spreitler and Nick Robinson.
