Synopsis

edit

Danza starred as Tony Canetti, a divorced detective in Hoboken, New Jersey, who shares custody of his son Mickey with his ex-wife. In between work and raising his son, Tony also starts a romance with an idealistic crime reporter, Melanie (Lori Loughlin).

The series received good reviews and initially placed in the top ten (partly due to its placement between the ABC hits Roseanne and Home Improvement[1]), but the series was cancelled after one season as it could not hold on to its lead-in audience. ABC moved the series to Saturday nights in 1996 which sealed its fate for cancellation.[2]
