Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

TamPalm I recently re-discovered this show in syndication on Hallmark. I've been DVR'ing it ever since. Just a quality show all the way around. Whne I see it now, I'm in awe of how well-done it is, how great the acting and writing and execution.Tony Danza carries this show, he was BORN for this role. His supporting cast is right on the money too. Everyone pulls the appropriate amount of weight. They are the perfect accompaniment to the superb writing that made the show so appealing for almost a decade. Only great writing could pull off the kind of anticipation of a romance between Tony and Angela that lasted for upwards SEVEN years. That's talented writing for sure! This show embodies the heyday of the sitcom. Before reality TV, there was the sitcom, the 30 minute show with the laugh track and quickly-developed plot and resolution. And for some reason back in the 80's, there seemed to be more talent for effectively executing the sitcom. Now, in the age of oversexualization and violence and edginess, it brings a smile to look back and remember when something could be clean and quality at the same time. The good ol' days I guess they're called now. sigh

insomniac_rod This sitcom started with a "tender" label but ended being extremely witty, sassy and well written.The unlikely relationship between all the characters probably gives the wrong expectations because it could be considered as a 100% family show without double sense jokes or mature situations. It proves everybody wrong and surprises!I really liked the chemistry between Danza and Light. Danza was extremely funny, I don't know what happened with him in the 90s! But my favorite character was and will be Mona. She was extremely witty, and played with the double sense fantastically.This is a t.v. series that doesn't gets the right apprecitation and worst of all, it's underrated. Please give a chance to this sitcom and let it charm you. But start watching it from Season 2. The first season is dedicated only for family.Ohhh I almost cried with the series finale! It was heartbreaking for those who really felt sympathy for the characters.A must see!

happipuppi13 I saved reviewing this show until ION ran the whole series through from this past fall to last week. Mainly because in the '91'-'92 season, I missed that moment where they finally get together at the carnival. I did see a handful of shows that season and thankfully did see the rather simple finale's ending of Tony returning to Angela and they kiss. Of course,that was over 15 years ago. Now that I've seen pretty much the whole series again,I can say honestly that I still like this show greatly. Time has made some of the things I liked as a teen & 20 something,not as likable though. Like Tony's "Oh hey,hey oh" in almost every show makes me roll my eyes now. Mona's insults to her daughter,Jonathan who was funny when he was little is not as funny in his teens. The only other thing is,although the growing love relationship between Tony & Angela was written well,it seems in some shows they make a point that was made sometime ago and you just want them to say I love you already. The greater things stand out though,which is how these two very different families blend in over time with each other. Starting right with the very first show (and the memorable second where Tony sees Angela as she gets out of the tub!) Also,the comedy with it's innuendos (far less than Three's Company thankfully),well written situations and certainly the story lines that really mean something. Whether about love or parenting or about embracing one's roots or that a family is a group of people who love each other. Danza's very funny,which we knew from "Taxi' but here he's not playing the Italian stereo-type (aside from that "Oh hey). He's the epitome of a tough male type but isn't fearful of that "feminine" side. (Despite being laughed at by his Brooklyn peers.The comedy at first comes from just what the title implies,it seems that while Tony is the employee,he seems to and wants to be in charge and control of almost everything. Including his daughter who while she loves her dad,wants him to let her grow up and think for herself. Milano's more of an actress than a comedian and she plays the emotions of an evolving young woman just right.Danny Pintuaro (who turned 32 01/2008)was a very cute kid and performed really well. later in his teens his scenes are still good but his acting is a bit bland. Proof not every kid actor can be a Ron Howard.I love Judith Light's comedic talent too,especially for someone who once did daytime TV soaps. It's not as apparent as in Lucille Ball but she can be a pretty good physical comedian as well as a good comic actress.Katharine Helmond who played trusting & naive' Jessica Tate on the ground-breaking "SOAP",came back to ABC in a character that was a complete 360 degree turn. She's the prefect foil for her seemingly straight laced daughter.Who's The Boss may not get the applause that other long running Emmy winning shows get,but fans of the show know it's all good clean fun. (END)

chescagab I've recently discovered this show through a bunch of DVD's of all 8 seasons. Out of all the sitcoms I have ever watched, I must say they don't make comedy like they used to.The acting was great and the cast fits perfectly. Tony Danza as a warm, caring but overprotective father. Judith Light as an uptight, conservative executive. Alyssa Milano and Danny Pintauro played the children perfectly. What was interesting is how the characters evolved so well as the times changed. In the latter parts of the episodes, Angela has learned to be more relaxed. Sam and Jonathan have become more like siblings as evidenced by their fights in some of the episodes. The only character I didn't like was Billy, but it's great that they got rid of him. The kid was a good actor, it's just he didn't 'fit'. The family was formed by this time as being Tony, Angela, Sam and Jonathan with well-timed comments from Mona, so to introduce a kid that late didn't bode well for the chemistry.The plot was well written with the sexual tension between Tony and Angela being apparent as early as the pilot episode. I liked how it eventually developed and the suspense of Tony and Angela getting together made me watch more episodes. I thought the transition from being friends to 'maybe something more' could have been developed further, but the ending was so sweet! Watching the ending made me think that "Who's the Boss" really came full circle. This is the first time I have ever seen this show, and I can appreciate the feelings Tony and Angela have for each other and how difficult this was to express at times.Although it was a comedy and it had its corny moments, it was really very touching with the right amount of laughter and suspense. Definitely one of, and arguably, the best comedy of its kind. They should do a reunion episode!
