Who's the Boss or The Cosby Show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 06-12-2004, 06:54 PM

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?"

James"Thunder"Early · 06-12-2004, 07:42 PM

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

barwars · 06-12-2004, 10:06 PM

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.
