Remember Tony Danza? Good ol' Tony is an absolute GIANT when it comes to sitcom actors. From his breakout in Taxi to the fan favorite that is Who's The Boss, Danza is known as one of the most likeable guys on television. Seeing as I was always more of a Who's The Boss fan, I thought I'd try to rustle up some interesting behind-the-scenes facts about the show, and lucky for you I was pretty successful!
Here are few of the best ones.
The producers wanted a free-spirited older sister to be in the show, but they had a very hard time finding the right person.
Apparently Tony Danza's mother didn't believe that her son was that big of a celebrity until he was able to introduce her to Sinatra on the set.
Alyssa Milano says she actually showed up to audition for a show called You're The Boss.
Danza was the pitcher, which is funny because his character in the show is a retired second basemen.
After a fight with a bouncer at a local nightclub, Tony Danza was sentenced to 250 hours of community service.
It's exact address is 3344 Oak Hills Drive.
In the show's seventh season, Milano was adamant on leaving to go to school, but the producers somehow managed to convince her to stay.
She was great on this show.
Tony became very close with the child actors on the show and acted as a mentor for many years.
For the final season, Tony's adopted child was written off the show.
The show was called The Upper Hand.
What a great show.
The plan was to marry them halfway through the final season, however it was scratched in post-production.
There were two episodes in the third season that were supposed to act as the pilot for Mona's own series. When the producers changed their minds, they had to write a new episode that brought Mona back into the series.
One Fairfield University fan actually sent Tony a shirt to wear on the show, and he did!
Who do you think the boss is? COMMENT and tell us.
