“One hundred episodes is a great accomplishment for any series, and we are thrilled to give ‘Melissa & Joey’ the opportunity to achieve this milestone, as they’ve delivered hundreds and hundreds of laughs over the seasons,” said Kate Juergens, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development and Chief Creative Officer, ABC Family.

The series, which stars Hart as local politician and former wild child Mel Burke and "Blossom" alum Joey Lawrence as her "manny" Joe Longo, has delivered solid ratings from the network since its premiere, which was ABC Family's most-watched comedy debut ever.
