Abed was wrong and the teacher was right. The title of the show wasn't meant to be literal but Abed couldn't see that. The title was meant to mean boss as in whose in charge and not just who writes the checks. Angela was far from the "Boss" in her life. Tony and Angela were the true bosses of her life. I've watched the show all the way through and she was manipulated by Mona and led on was constantly waiting for Tony to make the first move.

Abed is never wrong, how dare you.

Abed was wrong plenty of times. Wrong about chicken fingers, wrong about ruining Hickey's work, wrong about putting trackers in the study group, wrong about Luka, wrong in the email he wrote about Troy in Pillows and Blankets. Watch Who's the Boss and then come back to make a case. I've seen every episode of both shows multiple times, how about you?

You have to take the time into context here. In the 80s the idea of a woman being a boss and a man being under her, especially in a domestic job, was unusual.

I'm the same age as Harmon and I know exactly how the dynamic was. With relatives in the south and seeing the men outside drinking and the women in the kitchen. The fact is still that the title of the show was supposed not supposed to be literal.
