Both shows started and ended at the same time-84-92 and always did well in the ratings. I personally liked the Tony character better than Cliff Huxtable, I liked Mona better than the Huxtable grandparents and i was attracted to Samantha. Plus the show Who's the Boss did not add 10 NEW cast members between 1989-92. I will have to say Who's the Boss is my choice.

I would have to choose The Cosby Show.

Without a doubt in my mind ..... "Who's the Boss?"

I can't really choose, both had good storylines and good actings, so it's a toss-up.

I just became a fan of the Cosby Show and I've liked WTB since the late 80's so I have to pick Whos the Boss?

cosby for sure

absolutely no doubt in my mind, this was simple....

The Cosby Show




I like WTB?, but I LOVE TCS.
Bill Cosby could kick Tony Danza's ass any day, unless of course it was in his Taxi days, then its a tossup.

Tony was Angela's MAID, you can't get worse than that.

Well atleast who's the boss did not have 23 new characters between 1989-1992-LOL

The Cosby Show.

Who's The Boss was more of an adult family show than The Cosby Show. In its later years it drifted out of the family show element and became an adult show,especially the last season of the show with Sam and her boyfriend and Tony and Angela getting engaged but never getting married.

It was more like 22 than 23.... but still, who's counting?!

I think WTB? (in its early years, before Sam went to college) is better than TCS in its later years.

But at their prime, TCS still wins.

Maybe that's why i like Who's THe Boss more than the Cosby Show.

Who's the Boss. The show had more of a unique plotline than TCS, Cosby was just about a family when WTB went into greater detail. Also, WTB did not have 10 characters added in five years. Also, it didnt have characters on and off the show, the cast was mostly SOLID.

Thats incorrect. WTB was targeted as a family-friendly show.

Exactly. WTB added ONE new character, Billy.

I think the Cosby show is more family friendly than WTB. I think WTB appeals more to adults cause of the Angela-Tony thing.

I like both but I'll give the edge to WTB. The Cosby Show jumped the shark a time or two and WTB was good practically all the way through.

--uh..wait, if u ever watch a sitcom(which OBVIOUSLY u do) their usually about a family..so what do u mean by WTB went into more detail? and i think the cosby show was more interesting when they added characters more often,made it more interesting and open to new storylines, and besides the main cast never went away.

Do you even know what Who's the Boss? was about? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: It was about a MALE widower housekepper-(thats unique already) working and living with his daughter at a divorced woman and her son's house, and their secret passions for each other. How could you argue with me on that? WTB did have a family, but the family was a little more UNIQUE than Cosby Show.

Yes, although an imagination has NOTHING to do with that post.
Solomon said something about Claire not letting Cliff eat (which you later mocked as well), then I went on to say that Tony was Angela's maid.
That conversation was arguing over who was more whipped, and you cant get more whipped than being a maid.

thanx rurry for telling me info i already kno....the point of this thread is to get peoples opinion, ud rather watch WTB, id rather watch TCS ..done deal!

Then I mistaken, Tony wasnt whipped.... he was just a whore.


And if you watch TCS, you'll notice Claire tells Cliff what to eat -- but he doesn't listen.

now do i have to explain whore? haha, but good point yet again barwars, he never listened to claire..aahh which is one funny thing about that show.

Instead he would sneak around like a kid and try to eat salt instead of being a man and telling Clair i eat what i want and when i want it.

Who's The Boss?


I watched that more than TCS when I was growing up...so I remember WTB a lot better...

Ummm actually Cliff was as whipped as a man could be :rolleyes: Clair most definitely ruled the roost in that household,

He may not have always listened to Clair, but he was still very whipped.

If Tony was whipped, so was Mr. Belvedere, and every man who stays home with children, to cook and clean instead of working outside the home. :rolleyes:

I prefer Cosby, BUT... at this point, I'd rather watch Who's The Boss since it hasn't been shoved down your throat so much.

Plus, Alyssa has gone onto a successful run on Charmed.... which I prefer more than any of the post-Cosby shows combined.

yea, but Pam and Olivia wound up stealing a lot of episode screen time from the others.

Theo was the only original Cosby kid who was still appearing in every episode by seasons 7 and 8

What does it matter if characters are "whipped" or "Whores"? The only thing that matters is that the show makes you laugh. I have never liked "The Cosby Show." I've sort of liked "Who's the Boss?" Now, thanks to the DVD, I'm enjoying "Who's the Boss?" a whole lot more.

And Tony's not whipped or a whore, he's just a nice guy, who cares of Angela.

ok ok ok i guess u got me there, but still THE ORIGIONAL CAST did indeed stay in the show..u cant say they didnt, even if it wasnt every episode they did apprear,but people people people..watch what you want, if u like WTB better, good for u..if u like TCS better(like i do) then good for u lol...id hate to see peopel start argueing about this.

No doubt about it, Cliff was definately whipped. But that doesn't mean WTB is a better show.
I was just going along with Solomon and his stupid reasons as to why certain shows are better than others.

Even though I helped start the whole whipped/whore thing.... thats not what makes a show good or bad.
Its how funny it is.... and IMO, The Cosby Show (first 6 seasons at least) is a lot funnier than WTB?

Ive still got to get around to buying WTB-Season 1....

The main reason I like WTB better is because it focused more on the adult characters unlike TCS which focused on the kids.

Who's the Boss? all the way!!!

I can't resist that sexy Tony Danza! He's pure eye candy on that show with his good looks and those huge bulging muscles! LOL, watching that show gets my juices flowing and drives me up the wall like some female cat in heat. MEOW!

i saw tony last year at the italian festivle last year here in canton ohio..he had long hair all dressed up in a white tuxedo and he sang the theme song to WTB..i saw people cry and sing it..so im guessing that show musta touched alot of people..and i almost got his autograph until i had to leave early!..just thought id share that with u WTB fans.

Cosby Show was a family sitcom, so why are you complaining about family sitcoms? And, I think WTB was nothing like Full House or Still Standing. (even though I like Full House)

You people consider Full House very family friendly, but heres some things that arent family-friendly on Full House.

1. Joey telling Michelle that Becky and Jesse are paying their bills when they are really having sex.
2. An underage Kimmy getting drunk
3. At the end of an episode, Becky and Jesse talk about having a baby, and than they get in bed and turn the lights off.
4. Danny and Vicky making out on the couch
5. Stephanie going to a make-out party

The point im trying to make is, any show from 1980 to now has a few little inappropriate things in it. Even Cosby Show, I remember an episode being rated TV-PG of the Cosby Show

Yes, but Full House is actully for pre-teens-teenagers. And on Nick@Nite, according to Pav, more adults are watching Full House than children.

I was just pointing out that FH had some "things" in it, like most other shows.
