This season we said goodbye to the revivals Will & Grace and Full House. Therefore, we miss seeing our childhoods friends today. We need something else to fill that void. That hole might be filled by a sequel to Who’s the Boss?.
That is because Tony Danza and his TV daughter, Alyssa Milano, are working on a sequel to the sitcom. According to Deadline, they are still living together in Angela’s house. Tony is retired and Samantha is a single mother.
While Judith Light and Danny Pintauro will not be series regulars, they are trying to work them into the show somehow. I wonder if that will be a deal breaker to whoever whats to pick up the show.
When it comes to who will pick it, I am sure there will be a huge interest. Who’s the Boss? is still doing well in syndication, and revivals whose original runs are still on TV do better than those that don’t.
The Micellis weighed in about the news. Milano said, “I AM SO EXCITED! #WhosTheBoss is coming back!!! I’ve wanted to share this for so long and now I can! 😭 We feel the time is right to tell the story of where these amazing characters are today. Can’t wait to share their stories with you. So happy.” While Danza wrote, “Very excited to bring Who’s The Boss back to television! #whostheboss”
Are you as excited as they are that the series could be coming back?
BTW Anytime I hear about Who’s the Boss, I think of the Urban Dictionary definition of Tony Danza.
Thirty years ago today, the final Back to the Future film came out in theaters. In honor of the anniversary, Yahoo! Entertainment had a 14-question quiz asking questions about the 1990 movie that starred Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and Mary Steenburgen.
As soon as I saw it, I asked the three stars on Twitter (something Back to the Future II didn’t predict) how they would do if they took the test. The actress took it and revealed that she got a “9 out of 14 and I’m Clara! 😄”
In her defense it is a really hard test, I only got 3 out of 14 right. Which I guess is appropriate since it is Back to the Future III!
On a serious note, I am naming Mary Steenburgen as one of the nicest people in Hollywood, along with Henry Winkler, Jerry O’Connell, Tom Hanks, and Josh Groban. We need more people in this town like her.
Before Mary Steenburgen and Christopher Lloyd were in love in Back to the Future 3, she married Jack Nicholson to save him from Lloyd in Goin’ South. They look the same now as they did when he was 39, and she was 24 in that 1978 movie.
As soon as I saw that the two actors, who went on to play lovers were in the same movie a decade earlier, I wondered if it was a coincidence that they worked together again in BTTF3. Therefore, I got on Twitter and asked the lovely and talented actress if that was the case. Mary Steenburgen told me, “Coincidence re BTF3, and yes, I think Jack loved working with Chris in OFOTCN. I loved working with them both so much. I owe Jack everything. He was a great mentor.”
I also asked in that Tweet if Lloyd got his job on Goin’ South because he worked with Nicholson in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
As you can tell, my brain is filled with lots of useless information.
It has been almost 35 years since Doc Brown took Marty McFly for the ride of a lifetime in Back to the Future. Yesterday, the two of them got into the DeLorean again to play some poker.
What we got is all aces as in the sweet photo of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. You can tell they really care about each other in a really loving way, look at them. It is like a teacher and his prized student.
Tony Danza shared a few photos with his surviving castmates Christopher Lloyd, Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, Carol Kane, and Judd Hirsch, and he did not say why the old gang got together. I don’t care. I have not stopped crying happy tears since I saw them together again because Taxi is my all-time favorite show. I have been hoping for a revival of this show since they started bringing shows back.
Look at how great they look when they put on some nice threads! As good as they looked when Elaine sang Lullaby of Broadway from 42nd Street with them. You can watch that amazing number below. Not only that, you can see that they have not aged since that episode aired in 1980.
Since people don’t take cabs anymore, why can’t Alex bring them all together again to drive for his ridesharing company Sunshine? Since he was the only one who wanted to be a cab driver? Can you imagine what it would be like to see Louis and Reverend Jim still behind the wheel after 40 years? Gd help anyone crossing the street or walking on the sidewalk.
However, it was not about their driving skills; it was about their friendship and their antics. How I miss all the trouble, they got into. I have seen each episode over 100 times, and I still find something new to laugh at with each one.
If you have never seen Taxi, you can enjoy the series on Hulu and CBS All Access.
