Coming to TV Guide Network July 2, 2012 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 06-30-2012, 04:58 PM

The very popular family sitcom Who's the Boss? is returning to cable starting...today! TV Guide Network has acquired the cable rights to the long-running 1984-1992 ABC sitcom starring Tony Danza, Judith Light, Alyssa Milano, Danny Pintauro and Katherine Helmond. The series will air back-to-back episodes at 6:00pm & 6:30pm starting tonight, Monday, July 2, 2012. It will also air at times at 1:00am when a movie doesn't run long, so check listings. The sitcom was last seen on cable on The Hallmark Channel for one year from May 2010 to April 2011. So, after little over a year the sitcom is back on television!

The sitcom will follow back-to-back episodes of Designing Women at 5:00pm & 5:30pm, which remains in the hour. Who's the Boss? will lead into back-to-back episodes of Dharma & Greg at 7:00pm & 7:30pm for a nice block of comedy. Other comedies airing on the network are: more Designing Women (10:00am & 10:30am), Ugly Betty (1pm & 2pm), Samantha Who? (3:00pm), Ned & Stacey (3:30pm), Caroline in the City (4:00pm) and the return of Cybill (4:30pm). TV Guide Network is still also airing dramas Early Edition (11:00am) and The Guardian (12:00pm & 12:00am) on weekdays. Weeds (1:30am & 5am) and Curb Your Enthusiasm (4:00am) air sporadically.

On the series, former professional athlete Tony Micelli (Tony Danza) and his daughter Samantha (Alyssa Milano) arrive at the upscale, suburban household of executive Angela Bower (Judith Light), where Tony has taken a job as live-in housekeeper. When they arrive, Angela is uptight and obsessed with her work. Her son Jonathan (Danny Pintauro) is shy and lacks self-esteem, and her mother, Mona (Katherine Helmond), is a man-hungry vixen. Tony eventually wins them over with his laid back style, and the Bowers soon begin to loosen up.

Dammit! They edited the opening scene of the premiere!

Get used to that tvguide butchers their shows.

KentB3 · 07-10-2012, 05:11 PM

That's a shame! I wish this were on a channel that ran the whole episodes uncut and didn't have part of the screen taken up by TV listings (shades of WinTV on Game Show Network), but it's better than not seeing WTB? at all!

KentB3 · 07-10-2012, 05:15 PM

Oh BTW, WinTV was a format used on GSN in the late 1990s on a few shows (usually reruns of The Price is Right and Family Feud) which the show's screen was reduced to a smaller size, and had a bulletin running trivia about each show on the rest.

TV Guide Network butchers there shows?? Thats not a shocker considering what channel doesnt butcher there shows?? Btw, when you watch TVGuide Network do they show full screen or do they have the listings at the bottom? They used to have the listings on the bottom but I have a full screen now.

Btw, I havent watched a lot of Whos the Boss but I think there skipping episodes as well on TV Guide Network. Why do channels do that??

Its so frustrating!!!

It depends on the station. Mine still has the listings.

Mr. Television · 07-11-2012, 12:41 AM

Mine don't have the listings but I haven't watched the channel in years. It became irrelevant years ago.

So it depends on the cable provider? I gave up after 10 mins because the guide was too distracting

Yea mine hasn't had it for a couple of years I believe. I remember when I first saw that it was gone, I wondered why the channel even existed anymore. lol

catnap1972 · 12-18-2013, 05:09 PM

I'm not crazy in thinking that they chopped some stuff out that was in syndication but replaced it with different scenes, am I? Whenever it's on I'm always thinking "Hey, I don't remember this part!"
