Which seasons of Who's The Boss was Samantha your favorite ?

I've not seen the full show history in a looooong time, but I'm gonna guess Season 4 (and Season3 I suppose). She was in her early teens, still in high school and her storylines were fun.

Tbh, I loved her in season 1. So cute as a little tomboy and I loved her accent which seemed to fade over time.

season 8 sam age 19-20 the story lines for would be better if she never got married

I absolutely hate that storyline of Sam marrying that guy right out of the blue. I don't know what the writers were thinking in having her get married so abruptly and when she was still so young. Keep in mind, that Sam was only a sophomore in college, who was of freshmen age, since she apparently skipped a grade in high school.

And to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about, Hank, Sam's eventual husband is first introduced in the #14th episode (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Who%27s_the_Boss%3F_episodes#Season_8_(1991%E2%80%9392)) of the final season. Just four episodes later, they officially get married. There was absolutely no emotional investment because we, the audience barely know the guy that she's marrying.

Plus, Hank is like a pod person in that he has little to no interesting personality, charm, or charisma. Anybody could've played that role. And he in those last episodes, becomes a big time third-wheeler to the main cast.

It was like the writers were pulling junk out of their butts as a way of hopefully boosting interest to an aging show regardless of how much it made sense.

I wonder if the final Jonathan-centric episode, where he becomes a ball boy for the New York Mets a tad mean-spirited and cruel to his character. The episode has Jonathan causing the Mets to lose after he mistakenly picked up a ball that was in play.

In some respects, the episode was kind of a foreshadowing of the Steve Bartman incident (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bartman_incident) in Chicago in 2003 during the Cubs-Florida Marlins playoff series.

Everybody including Sam gives Jonathan grief. There's absolutely no shot at redemption for him. It just seems like the whole joke of the episode is make him look like a pathetic loser and idiot whose screw-up singlehandedly ruined the Mets' season.

I suspect that the writers really didn't know what to do with Jonathan in those later seasons because the show had already used up all the typical teen plots with Sam. It's commonly expected that teen characters are able to do more and express more personality, so writers will naturally have more to do with them. So all that a teenage Jonathan was left to do was say some dumb little remark every now and then and then leave the room.

They also never really resolved the storyline with Sam's cowboy boyfriend Matt from Season 7. She left New Mexico, where she was at the start of the season and he says he's moving to Connecticut in a few months, but never did. He was gone without any explanation after the "Roomies" episode (the one with Matthew Perry).

This is a hard one because season 4 has the yellow submarine episode and season 5 has the infamous "Sams Car" episode.

I remember watching these when they aired and I hoped and hoped the rest of the season would be all Sam!

I've not seen the full show history in a looooong time, but I'm gonna guess Season 4 (and Season3 I suppose). She was in her early teens, still in high school and her storylines were fun.

I immediately think of the whole Chad McCann saga, where Sam had a crush on the supposed "Big Man on Campus" (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigManOnCampus) at her school. It was right there, that they were transitioning Sam from being a tomboy from Brooklyn to a boy crazy, trendy teenage girl.

It was actually kind of cute to see Sam obsessing (if you want to call it that) and getting all hot and flustered over Chad. Normally, you would think that a girl who looks like her, could in theory, have any boy that she wanted. So it's kind of funny to see Sam be painted as a girl who has to work hard to get a boy to be interested in her.

There must of been a year and a half build up in that storyline before the infamous "Hit the Road Chad" episode, where Sam catches Chad with another girl and Sam later apologizes to Angela for saying that she wasn't really her friend.
