DVD Reviews of Who's the Boss? - The Complete First Season
DVD Review: "TAXI" Was Holding You Back Tony!
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked Tony Danza in "TAXI," but he did seem a little underused. Even if you see the whole series, he doesn't really have a lot of episdoes that revolve around him. This was a nice show in that Tony has more freedom to act.
What makes this show interesting is that it is full of contradictions. We have a woman exectutive (Angela) who leaves her house and son in the trust of Tony. And while Tony supposedly just works there, it is really he who runs the house. We have Angela's son who is very proper and neat and we have Tony's daughter Samantha who is rather tomboyish. And to top it off, we have Angela's mother who is on the older side, but she acts convincingly like a teenage girl.
I think the biggest mistake on this dvd box is that they call this a dysfunctional family. I don't see how they can call it that. If anything, this family works through everything, helps each other, and operates very smoothly depsite the faults of the characters.
Most of the episodes are very good. My only real complaint, and why I am deducting one star is the horrible 2 part episdoe with Angela's x husband. He is a rotton, cruel, totally unlikable monster, and we spend an hour wishing Tony would simply pick him up and throw him out the door. (Something like what he does in "Protecting the President.")
But that said, we get to see how they work through awkward moments like when Tony accidentally 'sees' Angela; even in the early 3rd episode, we see that there is more than a employer/employee relationship between Tony and Angela; we see how they handle true hurt and sadness when Angela's so called friend makes fun of Angela and walks out on Tony after 'using him;' we get to see how Angela tries to teach Samantha not to fight, but then Samantha catches Angela fighting; we get to see Tony and Angela faced with a moral choice vs money; we get to see Angela help Tony stop trying to hide his pain over his father's death; we see Tony help calm problems between Angela and Mona when Mona has to move in for a short while; we see poor Tony and Angela photographed in an awkward moment; we see Tony have to teach John not to imitate all the bad things he did as a child; we see Samantha struggle with having to be in a class where almost everyone is financially above her; and in the final episdoe, we see some tenderness between Tony and Angela. (Sounds like a very functional family to me.)
I'll finish with a real signature line from Tony. Mona had to move in for a short while at one point. Angela and Mona simultaneously say: "It's only temporary." And Tony comes out with: "Hey! What is this temporary stuff? You're family! You need a place to stay, you stay as long as you want!"
I know many people are wanting more seasons. (Myself included.) But for now I guess one is better than none.
