Default The Better 1980s TV Comedy, Who's the Boss or Growing Pains?

I liked both but WTB was a little more entertaining than GP since the grandmother was always a riot.

Growing Pains all the way!!!! .....Nobody on that show annoyed me, except for Ben when he got older. On "Who's The Boss", Tony and Mona annoyed the heck outta me.

I trully loved both, but I liked Who's The Boss a tad bit better because of the ongoing Tony/Angela storyline. Oh yeah, and Mona was hillarious!

I beg to differ, I want to own both shows on DVD cause Growing Pains doesn't air on tv now and Who's the Boss? gets the crappola treatment on N@N
