  • Who's the Boss?  Tony Danza in the Classroom

    Tony Danza didn't start the school year in a Hollywood studio. Instead he started it in a classroom at Northeast High in Philly where he began taping episodes for the latest batch of reality TV that uses the public education system as the foreign habitat. While Phillyist is reserving the right to comment on this reality TV experiment (perhaps being done at the sake of high school students?), it is probably safe to say that he is encountering the challenge of his life. The show will air on A&E at a later date, but as a future high school English teacher, I can guess that at the present moment, he is facing a stack of essays higher than the mop he wielded on Who's The Boss? He may be the boss, but those students are about to give him a run for his (measly amount of) money.
