In 2019, Danza first rejected the idea of rebooting the show — which was created by Martin Cohan and Blake Hunter — and cited Helmond's death as part of his reluctance\.

"First of all, I've never been a big fan of these reboots," he said on Good Day New York. "[But] no, can't reboot [Who's the Boss?] because we've got no Katherine Helmond, that's why not. That's it."

Danza stood firm in his rejection of a reboot at the time, but admitted that he wished Who's the Boss? got more play on TV so it could be introduced to a younger generation.

"I wish it was on TV. It would be a good show for kids to see," he said. "The other night I was standing in front of the Paley Center on 52nd Street, [and] this woman walks by with these two little kids, and the kid's about 6 years old, he goes to me, 'Are you Tony Micelli?' I go, 'How the heck do you know that?' His mother says he watches it all the time."
