That eternal TV question may finally get answered: A revival of Who’s the Boss? is in development, with original stars Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano returning to reprise their roles, our sister site Deadline reports.
The sequel series, which will be shopped to networks and streaming services by producers Sony Pictures Television, will take place 30 years later, with Milano’s Samantha now grown up and a single mother, living in the same house as the original series. The new take “will explore generational differences, as well as opposing world views and parenting styles within the dynamic of a modern family in 2020.”
Original stars Judith Light (Angela) and Danny Pintauro (Jonathan) aren’t slated to appear as of yet, but they are “supportive of the new series,” and producers hope to find a way to work them in. Katherine Helmond, who co-starred as Angela’s sassy mother Mona, passed away last year.
Debuting on ABC in 1984, Who’s the Boss? starred Danza as former ball player Tony Micelli, who took a job working as a housekeeper for yuppie businesswoman Angela (Light), moving into her Connecticut home along with his daughter Samantha. The series became a Top Ten Nielsen hit and ran for eight seasons, ending its run in 1992 after a total of 196 episodes.
I thought it was Scott Baio. Maybe Tony Danza is on our side too.
dreck
Sure glad I never watched it and never will.
Who’s the Bossy Commie.
No thanks!
Shoot, it might just have Alyssa married to her father, and a few other non-gender-specific people. It could delve into interspecies dating while explaining that dogs are man’s best friend is just a social construct from, you know, the patriarchy.
Been a long time between paychecks, huh?
Bet on the kid being multi-racial.
Ur correct Danza is a lefty
Pay off her estate, and CGI her.
Who’s the Boss re-do? It could make the Ghostbusters remake look like a classic!
Speaking of commercial explosions .....
Gabourey Sidibe is at least talented. Milano, not so much. Tony should steer clear of this train wreck. A Stalinist Milano and Sodomite Pintauro Show is a no-no.
(checks calendar) - Gosh darn it! I’m scheduled for a colonoscopy when this will be on, which I suspect will be much more enjoyable anyway.
Since the original is just one of a large number of TV shows I have never seen I feel just fine about not watching the revival.
“The new take “will explore generational differences, as well as opposing world views and parenting styles within the dynamic of a modern family in 2020.” “
hmmm ... so the reboot isn’t supposed to be comedy then, just pure political propaganda ... i give it one year before it’s cancelled ...
Back when she was attractive she was talented at causing tumescence, that’s about it. Embrace of the Vampire.
As for this show.....well of course.
When are they bringing back “Perfect Strangers”?
Meh, never did much for me. Vaguely cute in her early teen years, little more. Contemporary Nicole Eggert was a lot hotter (and now, obese and equally nutty, which she probably blames Chachi or Charles for, despite the fact their boffing was consensual), she actually played Milano’s friend on “Boss” for a time.
What show launched today, comedy or otherwise, ISN’T political Stalinazi/Sodomite propaganda ?
The last I knew, he listed himself as a Republican. But then again, there are people walking around who think they’re Napoleon Bonaparte.
