"Melissa and Joey" delivers the kind of easy situational comedy that one can always watch, no matter what mood you're in. The characters work well together and the concept lends itself to some funny episode-plots.
The show has one great flaw in one of the lead characters though. Joey's traits of being smug, arrogant and extremely judgemental serves a purpose in the comical banter going on in sit-coms like this. But this actor takes it too far, making some epiodes unbearable to watch. He's THAT obnoxious!
Once an actor gives off that vibe, however you wish to define it, it ruins the character forever. Luckily the remaining cast carries through and Joey himself has his moments of pure comedy, and so I keep watching it. But Joey's obnoxious characteristics are there, every single episode they bother me(...and hopefully others, I do think this review would represent more viewers than me). His "unlikeability" and creepy nature is unfit for a sit-com.
