funny fact, Pintauro in french can be translated this way : Pintauro > Pine toro > pine de toro > Bull's dick.

That's explain a lot if you ask me.

the stuff on jonathan is cracking me up to tears. stop being so sensitive, shayy, i know you're gay but you can still have a sense of humor!

Did'nt Danny Pintauro give out free head on the set of "Who's the Boss" to any guy who wanted it?? And did'nt he also rape Cujo and give him the rabies virus, thus making Danny Pintauro responsible for the whole messed up situation that came after??? And did'nt Danny Pintauro mess up the WHOLE world with his gayness????

I loved the episode where "Jonathan" touched "Billy" on the wee-wee because if it was one thing this show needed, it was more gay!!

That poor kid.

Though, I was deeply offended when I saw Cujo and he didn't die at the end like in the book.

Is Tony Danza such an egomaniacal turd that every character he plays must be named Tony or is he so dumb he would forget his character's lines if the character wasn't named Tony and instead had a name like Joe or Hank?

I liked the episode where Samantha taught Jonathan how to pee sitiing down and he said it "gave him confidence".

It has to be so embarrassing to know that Danny Pintauro will go down in history as the gayest kid on television....ever! I wonder if he was riding the bologna-pony back then?

One thing Jonathan could not do was play it straight. His interest in girls was so fake that it was hilarious. The episode when he steals Tony's Jeep to impress this goth girl, it was hilarious when he asked Tony's advice!

The show jumped when Tony and Angela finally admitted that they were in love. I have to be honest and say I wanted Tony and Angela to get together but when they did the wait was over. The audience got what they wanted.

Who's The Boss is one of those few shows where it's hard to say whether it jumped or not. Personally, I lean towards NO, for these reasons:

#1. Billy must go down in history as the LEAST annoying new cute child actor ever brought on to a sitcom. His banter with Tony and Mona was actually very funny, and they refrained from giving him the kind of obnoxious lines and storylines that occurred with Olivia on the Cosby Show. Plus, they never made him the focus of any particular episode, to my recollection (yes there were episodes where the main storyline revolved around him, however it was always more in the context regards to Tony's and Angela's reactions to it). One simply cannot conclude that Billy's addition was a jumping point.

#2. To back up point #1, some of the most hilarious episodes I can recall actually occured in the Billy years. Remember Billy's birthday, in which Tony and Angela were competing with their snobby neighbours? Tony asks Angela how much she'd be willing to spend on the birthday, and Angela defiantly responds "a quarter of a million dollars!". So funny.

#3. Yes, Jonathan was a boring character, but he was ALWAYS boring so that didn't make much of a difference regardless of the season.

#4. Aside from Billy, who I've already addressed, the show never really left its original premise. The characters did progress, but in reasonably believable ways (Tony goes back to school, Angela loosens up, and obviously the kids grow up). Mona served as a bit of an anchor since her character never really changed.

#5. The series finale was tasteful, making reference to the very first episode and following a very funny three-parter in which Angela tries to adjust to life in Iowa by, among other things, knitting blankets: "another day, another Afghan".

The contrast between Who's The Boss and Growing Pains (it's Tuesday night partner on ABC) is striking. Growing Pains basically ruined itself through a series of boring new characters, unintersting plotlines, and a surplus of "special episodes". Who's The Boss, on the other hand, didn't take itself as seriously, remained true to its original premise, and was the funnier show as a result.

Danny Pintauro aka Jonathan joins the list of cute kid actors who became an unnecessary character who was annoying. There was the Tony-Angela relationship with the banter of Mona and the hotness of Samantha. But the writers did nothing but make Jonathan a whiny annoying kid who is also a nerd. Then like all shows they bring in another cute kid when the old one grows up. Danny was in a no win situation. If he quit no one would care or when he stayed and even when the fired the cute kid he became a seldom used character. It was unfair that Tony Danza didn't come to the shows writers and help fix the Jonathan character.

loved this show. billy was adorable, they should have made him as tony's son when the show started. he kinda looks like tony, it would have worked. eleven year old sam and baby billy moving to connecticut and metting angela, jonathan, and mona

Tony Danza is a funny guy and I really liked this show. Even now, I can watch an occasional rerun and be entertained. I started to lose interest toward the end because everyone was growing up (so was I) and new characters were introduced. I think the woman who played Mona is great - I also liked her on Coach and Everybody Loves Raymond. I give this show an A+

Danny Pintauro wasn't on the show towards the end because he was caught touching the boy who played Billy inappropriately! When questioned by police, Danny replyed, " I just wanted to find out if he had 18in. of fun,rock-hard manmeat"!!
