Who's The Boss

Premise

Tony Danza plays the part of Tony Micelli, a widower with a young daughter.  Tony takes a live-in house keeper job at Angela Bower's home (played by Judith Light).  The home is in Fairfield, Connecticut, which is a better neighborhood than where the Micelli's came from (Brooklyn, New York).  Tony's daughter, Samantha, is played by Alyssa Milano.  Angela's mother shows up and gets involved with many situations in Angela's life.  Angela's mother, Mona Robinson, is played by Katherine Helmond.  Danny Pintauro plays the part of Angela's son, Jonathan.  He's a bit of softie because he's missing a father figure and Angela is not really good at parenting.  Tony helps with both of these situations.

We remember Tony Danza from Taxi (along with Christopher Lloyd, Danny Devito, and many other famous people).  We saw Alyssa Milano in the movies with Arnold Swartzeneggar.  We remember Katherine Helmond from SOAP.  I don't know much about Judith Light away from Who's the Boss.

The title of the show referred to the clear role reversal of the two lead actors, where a woman was the breadwinner, while a man stayed at home and took care of the house, thus the question of who the "boss" really was.

In addition, Tony provided a much-needed male role model for geeky Jonathan, while Angela (and even Mona) gave Samantha the woman's guidance she had been missing.

The show did really well and then Tony and Angela got together.  The sexual tension was gone so the show's popularity went down.  I guess people took that as a signal that the show was on its way out.
