Who's the Boss? was a television sitcom starring Tony Danza which aired for eight seasons on ABC from 1984 to 1992.
The premise of the show was that a widowed ex-baseball player, Tony Micelli (Danza), wanted to move out of Brooklyn to find a better life for his daughter, Samantha (Alyssa Milano). He ended up taking a job in upscale Connecticut as a live-in housekeeper for advertising executive Angela Bower (Judith Light). The two moved into the house shared by Bower and her son Jonathan (Danny Pintauro). Also starring was Katherine Helmond as Mona Robinson, Angela's feisty mother.
The first season, consisting of 22 uncut episodes, was released in June 2004 on Region 1 DVD from Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment.
Several versions of Who's the Boss? have been produced for foreign television markets. In 1990, a British version of Who's The Boss? started its run in the UK. This adapted version was called The Upper Hand. A Spanish language version, produced in Mexico by TV Azteca and Columbia TriStar International Television, debuted in 1998 under the title Una familia con Ángel, and was broadcast in the US on the Telemundo network. Also, in 2005, the Argentinean network Telefe also made its own local version, called ¿Quién es el jefe?
