Trivia:

Episode #115 (Living Dolls) was never shown during the series' original prime time run and instead premiered when "Who's the Boss" first entered syndication. The episode, which was meant to be a pilot for a new ABC series "Living Dolls" (1989), was pulled from the schedule do to last minute casting changes to the series. Several months later, a second episode (episode #123 "Life's A Ditch") was filmed to serve as a pilot for "Living Dolls", which aired on the same night "Living Dolls" premiered.

Quotes:

Angela: Did it seem to you like Jan and Steve might be a good match?
Tony: What? Angela are you kidding me? All they said all night was hello, goodbye, and ehh I'm choking.

If you were alive in the 80s you have at least heard of this show

I am so glad to see reruns of this show again. It is so much fun to watch, and it's nostalgic. I like all the characters except for Danny (when he was older his voice sounds....well we won't go there) As the seasons go on, though, Angela and Tony are the main focus of the show anyway. I don't get the whole Billy thing, why do shows always do that? It's almost a guarantee that it's going to be dead in its track within a year or two. Anyway it did run for a long time, and I love the final episode. You get to decide how they end. They need to do a reunion show.
