Who's The Boss Complete First Season
Being a parent is tough; being a single parent is even tougher. So when injuries and his wife's death force ex-baseball player Tony Micelli (Tony Danza) into retirement, and a single mom, high powered advertising executive Angela Bower (Judith Light), needed someone to run her household, it was a match made in heaven. Or was it? After convincing her free spirited, mischievous mother, Mona Robinson (Katherine Helmond), that hiring Tony is the right thing to do, the less-than-tidy Angela welcomes him and his daughter Samantha (Alyssa Milano) as the live-in housekeeper for her and her son Jonathan (Danny Pintauro). And while their relationship starts out businesslike and platonic, becoming best friends and confidants makes it hard for two attractive, single adults living under one roof to resist their more grown-up impulses.

Swallowing his pride, Tony, along with daughter Samantha, becomes a live-in housekeeper for Angela Bower, a busy ad executive who has little time to look after her home or her young son, Jonathan. Now Tony's got a full-time job and Angela's household is back in order. Only one question remains: Who's the Boss? Actors: Alyssa Milano, Danny Pintauro, Judith Light, Special Features: Full frame format. Language: English Year: 1984 Runtime: 455 minutes.

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

Alyssa Milano is cute and funny as Tonys semi-sassy daughter Sam, but Danny Pintauro as Angela Bower's son Johnathan is just a bit stiff and annoying at times. I love the difference between Judith Light's proper Angela and her mother, the wild swinger Mona played with great natural humor by the always likeable Catherine Helmond. Without her presence, the show wouldn't work quite as well. The chemistry between Tony and Angela is also as appealing as that of Fran and Max on The Nanny, so you may notice many similarities in the two shows, except the writing of the Nanny is sharper.
My favorite episode? By far, Angela's First Fight. I laughed so hard, never having seen it before, that I watched it over a few times. I also love the theme song which was co-written by smooth jazz great Larry Carlton. If you love corny sitcoms that bring back great memories without apologizing for it, get the first season of Who's the Boss. Now, as another reviewer said, where's season two, because I want them all!
"Who's the Boss" is one of those gems and it's an entertaining and wholesome family show with lots of heart. The middle aged me can finally appreciate what I didn't during it's original run. Everything about this show, from the characters, down to the setting of the country colonial they live in is just warm and comforting.
It's disappointing that only the first season is released on dvd to enjoy. I am halfway finished with this set and have enjoyed every episode so far and really want to see the following 7 seasons now. So if the studio somehow reads this review, please consider a release for us who want it! I for one, promise to buy the entire series!!
Yes, please release the rest of the seasons!!!

Hopefully the right people read these reviews: PLEASE RELEASE THE REST OF THE SERIES!!!
J'ai acheté par la suite le DVD en français avec sous titres anglais possible, la qualité est bien meilleure.
