Who's the Boss? was a standard sitcom--turned on its head. Sure, there was a mom, a dad, two cute kids, a house in the suburbs... and a live studio audience. But Angela Bower (Judith Light) was a single advertising exec with a son (Danny Pintauro) and Tony Micelli (Tony Danza) was a widowed ex-ballplayer with a daughter (future Charmed star Alyssa Milano). The Connecticut mansion belonged to Angela (along with the big '80s hair and shoulder pads) and Tony wasn't her boyfriend, but rather her housekeeper. Then there was her mother, Mona (the incomparable Katherine Helmond). The sexed-up, slightly cracked grandmother is a primetime staple, but in the former Soap matriarch's hands, the character was a cut above (and usually got the best lines). As Angela complains to her in the pilot, "You've sent me a man for a housekeeper!" "Oh, don't be sexist," Mona replies. "A man can do meaningless, unproductive work just as well as a woman." "Meaningless, unproductive work" is what Tony does for the Bowers--and does well--but he and Samantha (Milano) also become part of the family. Angela and Tony go on a number of dates with other people, but there's an obvious sexual tension between them. The show would continue to exploit that tension for eight seasons to great success (even inspiring a British version called The Upper Hand, with Honor Blackman as the "Mona" character). Helmond, meanwhile, would garner an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her efforts. Highlights include "Mona Gets Pinned," in which Mona takes up with a younger man, and "Angela's Ex, Part I," in which Angela reconciles with her estranged husband--who proceeds to fire Tony. Guest stars include Betty White (Mary Tyler Moore) in "Eye on Angela" and Danza's Taxi co-star Jeff Conoway in "First Kiss." --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Where is the season set? or at least season 2! June 22, 2009
mushi (Japan)
This is a great show that is fun and light entertainment. I enjoy it much more now than I did when it was on the air, I watch the DVD over and over. Love the 80's styles with the big hair! Lot's of laughs. Where are the remaining episodes? Please put out a Who's the Boss complete series!!!
Thanks.
Who's The Boss is the Best!! May 20, 2009
Pamela L. Curchin (Middletown, NJ)
Am one of the biggest Tony Danza fans ever and this show was one of the main reasons why I love him so much. I got my DVD in perfect condition. Just upset that for some reason they can release all the seasons of some stupid show like Green Acres, but can not release the full run (8 seasons) of this favorite show. Enjoy!!
Where are the rest? January 18, 2009
Karen Johnson (Tennessee USA)
The 80's had a ton of great sit-coms...many of which are already out on DVD. Why hasn't the rest of Who's the Boss been released? With the exception MAYBE of Ted Danson/Shelly Long, this show contains the greatest chemistry between two unmarried characters I can remember. I hope the rest of the series is released soon.
 Classic '80s comedy! July 21, 2008
Joanna Mechlinski (CT, USA)
A wealthy marketing executive and single mom employs a male housekeeper -- causing many of the misunderstandings and laughs that made this show a classic.
Judith Light stars as the conservative Angela Bower, to Tony Danza's ex-professional athlete housekeeper Tony Micelli. Fresh from Brooklyn, Tony and his adolescent daughter Sam (Alyssa Milano) quickly develop a tight-knit household with Angela, her six-year-old son Jonathan (Danny Pintauro) and sexy, wisecracking mother Mona Robinson (Katherine Helmond) who moves in with the family mid-season.
Memorable episodes include "Briefless Encounter," when a newly-hired Tony accidentally barges into the bathroom on a bathing Angela; "Samantha's Growing Up," where Mona and Angela help the young, embarrassed Sam on her journey into young womanhood; and the two-part "Angela's Ex," where Mr. Bower returns and claims to want his family back.
"Who's the Boss?" is a classic TV series, full of both laughs and heartfelt moments. I'm really anticipating the release of Season 2!

ABC Snoopy (New Jersey)
Don't look at me like that DVD you are never gonna release more of the series ever! I got the first season a few weeks ago at FYE for only $11.95 and they had a second copy of it for $40.00. I have not watched the whole season because I have so much other stuff to do but I think it's a great show. I never really saw it before but it used to be on Nick an Night. I got it because it was so cheap and I love buying DVDs. It's been over 4 years so I don't think there's any hope. You never know though. With Barney Miller it took them about 4 years to release the second season. If people buy more we may have a change. I am #50 to review this so 50 people most have bought this. I think that's enough people. I really hope more come out someday.
