Was Melissa and Joey a spinoff of this?

Did the idea for a TV show for Melissa and Joey come from this movie, before or after it was made?

It must have been after. I haven't watched the show but from the commercials, it seems like they are playing similar characters. I might give it a chance if it didn't have a laugh track.

i thought the same thing, though they are keeping their real names for the show!

There's no laugh track. They shoot in front of a live audience.

I agree with another poster on this- not a spin off per se, but the movie was basically a hit, they had chemistry and I guess both needed a job. LoL
They realized they had potential for a project and Melissa & Joey was born!
I'm glad because I enjoyed it while it lasted.
