Who's the Boss?: Tony the MatchmakerABC
October 29, 1985
Sitcom
DVD
C+
Tony fixes up his divorced friend Wally (Paul Sand, who would return in a different role) with Angela and she finds it the worst night of her life. After Tony gently lets Wally down, Mona decides to "coach" him, but Angela has rethought things and decided to give Wally another chance. Soon mother and daughter are fighting over this nebbish, to the bafflement of me and Tony. I find Paul Robinson Hunter's story implausible, especially Angela's change of heart, and the only reason this isn't a C or lower is the eye candy of both Tony in the steam room and Angela in the shiny red & gold dress. (The moment where she rips the slit higher would be in the opening credits for years.) Note that when one of the other guys in the steam room asks why Tony doesn't go out with Angela if she's so wonderful, he jokes, "She has a weak heart." And he claims she's 5'7" and a Gemini.
