Synopsis

Charles in Charge is an American sitcom series starring Scott Baio as Charles, a 19-year-old student at the fictional Copeland College in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who worked as a live-in babysitter in exchange for room and board. Baio directed many episodes of the show, and was credited with his full name, Scott Vincent Baio. It was first broadcast on CBS from October 3, 1984 to April 3, 1985, when it was cancelled due to a struggle in the Nielsen ratings. It then had a more successful first-run syndication run from January 3, 1987 to November 10, 1990, as 126 original episodes were aired in total. The show was produced by Al Burton Productions and Scholastic Productions in association with Universal Television, and distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution and New Line Cinema Corporation.

junk-879 I rented this series for my 11 year old daughter to watch with me,as I had loved it when I was a kid and it was on first-run. I'm happy to say that she loves it, too. It's a wholesome show for kids to watch that is amusing and has a good moral to every show. I find it very refreshing to watch, and enjoy it myself, even after all these years. It's hard to find shows for my daughter to watch that aren't filled with sexual references, even when the show is supposed to be aimed at kids. Yes, the show is dated a bit, but if you're looking for a fun, entertaining, wholesome show for your kids to watch that hasn't been shown to rerun death already on TV, this is the show for you.
mcintoshmarty I am out-raged that Charles In Charges is labled as very boring show. for one, this great TV classic has millions of fans like myself that love this show. it is an insult to not only me but millions of fans out there that love Scott Baio's works. both Charles In Charge and Happy Days we're one of the best 2 TV show ever. please remember, charles in charge was popular because it was funny hilarious and just a goodtime. it was the 80's for peet's sake. my heart gos out to Ellen Travolta John Travolta's sister, for doing a wonderful job in playing Aunt Lilian on the show. and also, if we are crazy for like this show or Happy Days, then there are people out there that are probably crazy for like hogan's heros or pettygoat junction or whatever. if we are crazy for that then the rest of you should be in a mental institution... dear god. the pace of television is ridiculous. and it is getting more and more out-landish. where has television went wrong? and Scott Baio is indeed... a STAR.
Indyfan82 This was one of my favorite shows growing up! It's still one of my favorites now! I watch it all the time on Nick at Nite. I have seen some of the episodes from the 1st. season, but I have to admit that I watched the show in syndication, so I grew up seeing the Powell family. However, the Pembrokes were great too. I'm especially thankful for the "Amityville" episode which explained why Charles was set up with a new family and kept continuity intact. Charles is cool, but Buddy is the best! Anyway, the show rules! (no matter what season)
baceballbaybee3 I loved it so much, thank-you so much to the creators!!!! and Scott Baio looked super cute!!!! =) I think he's a good actor, i loved the series so much, i thought it was one of the best series' i've seen from the 80's(i always watch reruns whenever i see them!!), and it was really good!!
