80's Television

In 1984 a sitcom made it's appearance and had everyone asking the same question - who's the boss? No, really, who is the boss? It was pretty evident to me that it was Angela, because she paid him. Now that that is settled, we can take a look back to a show that lasted eight glorious seasons. We literally got to grow up with a young baseball fan and smokin' hot girl by the name of Alyssa Milano who was only 11 or 12 when the series started. Featuring Tony Danza, Judith Light, and the kid no one wanted to watch, Danny Pintauro. Oh, and I did like the sassy mom played by Katherine Helmond. Here is "Who's the Boss?"

Here's the intro plus the first part of "Sam's" (Alyssa Milano) first fight just to hook you to where you're going to have to go to youtube to check out the conclusion...
