NBC Pulls Plug on Who’s the Boss Reboot After Realizing Alyssa Milano is Not, in Fact, the Boss
HOLLYWOOD, CA — In a shocking yet somehow unsurprising twist, NBC announced today it will be scrapping the much-hyped reboot of Who’s the Boss, citing “creative differences” that, according to inside sources, mostly stemmed from Alyssa Milano’s scriptwriting, acting, energy, astrology charts, and general vibe.
NBC executives issued a brief statement:
“We regret to inform fans that the reboot of Who’s the Boss will not be moving forward. Despite our best efforts to revive the nostalgic charm of the original, we found that… no one wanted to come to work. Including the cameras.”
Sources inside the production say Milano insisted on rewriting every episode, transforming the original sitcom into what one crew member described as “a confusing mix of spoken word poetry, political monologue, and unexplained dream sequences featuring Tony Danza as a taxidermist.”
One actor, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of being cast in a future reboot of Charmed, said:
“She handed me a script where I had to deliver a soliloquy about the emotional labor of washing dishes. I asked who I was playing. She said ‘America.’ I quit on the spot.”
Milano, for her part, fired back on social media, tweeting:
“When networks silence powerful voices, we all lose. Also, NBC has never respected my vision of Angela as a time-traveling feminist vampire hunter.”
NBC is now reportedly in talks to reboot Knight Rider instead — with the car as the lead and zero human actors.
