Though it was still a fairly traditional series, Who's the Boss? was also deceptively progressive for the era, particularly in its gender-role swapping setup and its depiction of a makeshift family partially enabled by divorce. With Agnela's precocious son Jonathan (Danny Pintauro) and her quippy, sexually liberated mother Mona (Katherine Helmond) in tow, the sort of family-friendly hijinks one would expect from an '80s sitcom naturally ensued. For those who came of age in a post-'80s world, Who's the Boss? starred Tony Danza as former baseball player, widower, and all-round good guy Tony Micelli, who, seeking a better life for his young daughter Samantha ( Alyssa Milano) after an early retirement, takes a job as a live-in housekeeper in the upper-class Connecticut home of divorced New York ad exec Angela Bower (Judith Light). The story of Italy’s most-wanted Mafia boss, Matteo Messina Denaro, whose recent arrest by police in Palermo after 30 years on the run made global headlines, is set to become a big-budget film. Reboot-mania continues to sweep through Hollywood, and it appears the next beloved '80s sitcom to hop on the nostalgia train is the long-cancelled ABC hit Who's the Boss?.
