Backdoor Pilots: Who’s the Boss? Gives Teen Models Deja Vu
Added 2023-10-07 03:35:57 +0000 UTC“Living Dolls” (March 28, 1989)
Less a show about sentient humanoid toys than a late 80s/early 90s glimpse of teen modeling, Living Dolls sprung off from Who’s the Boss? — and what’s especially weird about this one is that it happened twice. First, Who’s the Boss? gave us a story about Samantha Micelli visiting a coven of models in New York, and then when Living Dolls debuted the following September, it told that exact same story again — with Sam as the focus, but with three of the series leads recast. It’s a really weird thing to behold.
The theme song to this series was composed and performed by Meika Grimm. The art for the series was designed by Ian O’Phelan.

Yeah, that plus the moment that draws attention to it and gets a second laugh. I'm surprised it survived the de-sexifying process.
