LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - TLC has ordered six episodes of the series "Now 
Who's Boss?" to air beginning in March.

In an ironic twist, Danny Pintauro's Jonathan Bower falls on hard times and 
is forced to work as a housekeeper for a rich family, Alyssa Milano's 
Samantha is now a witch and Tony Danza may make cameo appearances.

Actually, "Now Who's Boss" isn't a spin-off of the Emmy nominated 1980s 
sitcom "Who's the Boss?" It's an update of the popular BBC format "Back to 
the Floor." New York Times Television will produce the TLC update, which 
finds corporate CEOs forced to work in entry-level jobs in their own
companies.

"The conceit of the series is to show an honest experience from both the 
executive and employee sides," Michael Klein tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Klein is an executive producer on the series along with NYTT's Matthew
Gould.

The guinea pig in the premiere is Loews Hotels bigwig Jonathan Tisch, who 
spend time working as a housekeeper and bellhop. Tisch was reportedly so 
moved by his experience that he mandated all Loews upper-level executives 
spend one day a year in similar positions.

Other honchos expected to see how the other half lives include Delta 
Airlines President John Selvaggio, Larry Flax and Rick Rosenfield, 
co-founders of California Pizza Kitchen, and Club Med Americas CEO John 
Vanderslice.
