Wow! A mediocre score! I can't imagine reading a bad review about Tony Danza. Taxi was great, yes. His talk shows ... not so great, true. But everyone has highs and lows. "Who's the Boss" was definitely the highlight of his career, in my humble opinion. In this one series, he managed to showcase all his acting skills. He could be serious, funny (sometimes without trying), mysterious, sad, sexy, innocent (his "Angelaaaaa" face always made me say "awww"). Truly! He was the dad that you wanted - firm but a friend at the same time. That's what I felt, watching him as a kid. But the best part of watching his character throughout the show (then and now) is that he stays true to his roots, what seemed on-screen, as well as off. He played the "tough guy" well but also played the "soft side," just as well. Sometimes, it didn't seem like acting at all. Perhaps that's why I enjoyed watching him so much.

I love that I started watched this show when I was 8 and am now 31 and can still watch and enjoy it, Tony being my favorite part. And, yes, the flirtation between "Tony & Angela" being very high up there, as well. I think people look back at the show now and find it cheesy. In the years of "Family Guy" and "CSI," a family comedy doesn't exactly rate high up there in some people's idea of a "good watch." And I definitely feel that his comedy is looked upon, by some, to be cheesy and outdated. But it was the 80's!!! People forget that. I don't. I would love to see him in another show, now. Like this one. "Hudson Street" was okay but definitely didn't have the writing behind it for him to be all he could. Same thing with "The Tony Danza Show." I suppose even the best have their moments and eventually have to fade away. That's a shame.
