Summary: Classic Sit Com
Review: Some people may consider Who's the Boss to be somewhat of a cheesy situation comedy, and maybe it is. But I always found it funny and it is one of the few sit coms I would ever actually sit down to watch. And it's probably the only sit com I ever felt sad to see end.

Who's the Boss ended the same year The Cosby Show did and I recall several commentaries that denigrated the show in comparison because it had no lasting social value. Even though that may be true, who watches situation comedies for their lasting social values? And name any situation comedy that strives for such a lofty aim? The bottom line is it's an entertaining and funny show and in that regard it succeeds.

Unfortunately, my version of the DVDs has poor sound quality and a lot of times the voices don't match with the actors and I have to stop and replay the DVD to get them to match up. I'm not sure if that is just the DVDs I received or if it's a manufacturing flaw in all of them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Family Oriented Sitcom
Review: This is a fabulous collection. I have introduced my 5 year old daughter to it and she loves it. I just wish that today's sitcoms were filled with the kind of wholesome laughs that Who's the Boss provided. Unfortunately, today's sitcoms lack story lines, are full of innuendo and are cancelled because they don't carry the same weight that old time sitcoms did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best shows you'll ever find
Review: This show began before I was born, but I came across it on Nick at Nite, and I love it! All the episodes from the first season are very entertaining, and it's hard not to like the show after seeing it just once. You'll come to love Tony, Angela, Sam, Jonathan, and Mona. I highly recommend this DVD to all ages, including teens. You won't regret it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this show and this DVD
Review: This show shows all kinds of problems, and unlike some shows, they dont solve it "perfectly" every single time and not everything is "perfect" and it's a great show. From the romance of Angela and Tony, to everything Mona does, to how the kids grow up is one suprise after another, full of laughs and tears, and smiles and horror, this is a wonderful show!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tony's the boss!
Review: Tony Danza enjoyed extended success with his ABC sitcom Taxi(later owned by NBC) from 1978 to 1983 as Tony Banta,one of the Sunshine Cab Co. drivers. It would only be a year after the demise of Taxi that he would be chosen to play Tony Micelli on the ABC sitcom,Who's The Boss?. Tony is a widowed father who moves with his young daughter Samantha(Alyssa Milano) to Connecticut from New York. He becomes the housekeeper for Angela Bower(Judith Light,late of the ABC daytime serial One Life To Live),an advertising executive who is a single parent as well,and her young son Jonathan(Danny Pintauro). Katherine Helmond,another ABC veteran who is late of Soap,is Mona,Angela's mother. The two families would blend into one without marriage(later in the series Tony proposed marriage to Angela but the wedding never happened). ABC aired this sitcom on Thursday nights from September 1984 to September 1992,just like NBC's The Cosby Show. ABC aired WTB for the very last time on September 10,1992 and NBC aired TCS for the very last time one week later. Both WTB and TCS premiered on September 20,1984. What an awesome coincidence,don't you think? WTB recently premiered on cable television's Nick At Nite. Here's an interesting fact:Danza's Taxi co-star Marilu Henner guest starred in one episode of WTB during the show's run. Milano would later become a teen idol,join the cast of Fox's Melrose Place and WB's Charmed. WTB killed CBS's ALICE,THE JEFFERSONS and THE DUKES OF HAZZARD.

Summary: Who's The Boss? on DVD
Review: Who's the boss is my favorite sitcom show of all time. It will finally be out on DVD. I hope they put all of it out on DVD. I'm a loyal fan and have watched the reruns many times. It's too bad it didn't get the recognition it deserved by winning an emmy. Can't wait to see the first season on DVD. If there was a trivia game for Who's the Boss, I would be the top winner!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Who's the Boss?----This show DEFINATELY is!!!
Review: Who's the Boss? makes me laugh every time I watch it. This show is one of my favorite shows ever along with Friends, The Cosby Show, and Three's Company. If you like any of these shows you will like Who's the Boss?
