Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved The Nanny or Raising Hope, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, feel-good.
The pace
4 seasons, but most episodes stand on their own, so you can dip in anywhere (about 30 minutes each).
What might put you off
Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

Mel is a local politician from a political family. When a family scandal leaves her niece, Lennox, and nephew, Ryder, without their parents, Mel takes them in. She hires Joe to become the family's male nanny, or "manny," after a Ponzi scheme leaves him broke.
