Why Tony Danza Won't Be Returning for a 'Who's the Boss?' Revival
Hey there, friends. If you're a fan of classic TV shows, then you're probably familiar with the beloved '80s sitcom, Who's the Boss? Well, guess what? Reboots are all the rage these days, but Tony Danza has something to say about bringing this particular show back. In a candid interview on Good Day New York on September 17, the legendary actor revealed that he’s not jumping on the reboot bandwagon anytime soon.
Now, listen closely. Tony, who played the iconic housekeeper Tony Micelli, made it crystal clear that he’s not on board with the idea of reviving Who's the Boss? "First of all, I’ve never been a big fan of these reboots," the 68-year-old actor confessed to host Rosanna Scotto. And here’s the real kicker: "No, can’t reboot Who’s the Boss? because we’ve got no Katherine Helmond, that’s why not. That’s it." Oof. Tough words, but they carry weight, don’t they?
The Legacy of 'Who's the Boss?'
For those who might need a refresher, Who's the Boss? was a groundbreaking sitcom that aired from 1984 to 1992. It centered around Tony Micelli, a single dad and housekeeper who moved into the Connecticut home of Angela Bower, a career-driven single mom played by Judith Light. Alongside them were Angela’s daughter, Sam, played by Alyssa Milano, and Angela’s quirky mother, Mona Robinson, portrayed by the late, great Katherine Helmond. Tragically, Katherine passed away earlier this year at the age of 89 due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease, leaving a void that can't be filled.

Why Tony Danza Still Loves the Show
Even though Tony Danza isn’t a fan of the idea of a reboot, he does admit that he wishes the show was aired more often on TV. He believes it’s a program that kids today could benefit from watching. “It would be a good show for kids to see,” explained the actor, who currently stars in The Good Cop. Tony even shared a heartwarming story about a recent encounter on the streets of New York. "The other night, I was standing in front of the Paley Center on 52nd Street, and this woman walks by with these two little kids. The kid, about 6 years old, looks up at me and says, ‘Are you Tony Micelli?’ I said, ‘How the heck do you know that?’ His mom said he watches it all the time.” Talk about nostalgia!
