User blog:LexiLexi/Melissa & Joey Reverses the Typical Gender Roles of Sitcoms



We're all pretty used to the typical sitcom--fat, goofy husband, the thin, gorgeous (and fed up) housewife, and the kids. In Melissa & Joey, this is all different. Melissa is a high-powered politician, and her eye-candy friend Joey Lando is her nanny. To make matters more interesting, her "children" are actually her nephew and niece.

While the gender roles being reversed in Melissa & Joey are interesting, what's more interesting is the television past of Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence. We know Joey as the brother from Blossom, and Melissa as Sabina the Teenage Witch. Do you think it's possible for them to break free from their previous roles and continue as adults with Melissa & Joey? Comment below!
