ABC Family's Melissa and Joey brings back 90's sitcoms

The show brings back all kinds of ’90s sitcom nostalgia, from the laugh track (which is a lot less common these days thanks to The Office and 30 Rock) to the home with two staircases. (Was I the only child who wished I lived in a house like this? Literally ever show from Growing Pains, Boy Meets World, to Full House conveniently had two staircases, making wacky sitcom hijinks all the more possible). Melissa & Joey also recycles the same tropes many of these popular shows used, the most obvious being an unconventional family. Mel is a reformed bad girl who now has a high-powered job with the city when she unexpectedly inherits the responsibility of raising her teenage niece and nephew. She’s not a single parent for long, as she hires the help of  — gasp — a male nanny, Joey, a fallen commodities trader. Gender role reversal, how modern! You know that there will be some sort of sexual tension between the two; each will fall for the other at the wrong time, then try to ignore the signs by dating other people before there is a big declaration of love (most likely at an airport) during the season finale.

I agree with this article. I saw the premiere last night and it does bring you back to the 90's with all those sitcoms. I really like the show.
