Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence spent several years playing the title characters on Melissa & Joey. The ABC family show was canceled after four seasons, much to the chagrin of fans. During its run, fans learned a lot about Mel Burke and her nanny turned love interest, Joe Longo. Still, it took writers almost three full seasons to reveal that Mel was not actually named after the actor who portrayed her.
