    Better Than It Looks..

    At first, Charles In Charge didn't seem like a very good show, to me.. in fact, I found it pretty corny, with the theme music and all the predictable stories. Sure, the music may seem a tad bit corny, and the stories predictible, but it's still a likable and charming sitcom. Willie Aames almost MAKES the show. He is downright hilarious at times and acts his part wonderfully. Scott and him play off of each other wonderfully. The rest of the cast is well balanced, with the grandfather constantly hating Aames character, and the sisters fighting and disagreeing.

    Once I started really watching the show, I found myself liking it more and more, and now watch it every morning, if I'm awake. In short, this usually isn't a very deep show with a large message to send (Although almost every show does have some sort of good message), it's a simple, entertaining show that will usually put you in a good mood. Seven out of ten.

    One of the best sitcoms of the 80s!

    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)

    This TV Series Charles In Charles In Charge is a VERY HUMAN SHOW!

    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.

    Let's Hear It For Josie Davis!

    Charles in Charge had one of the greatest premises for a sitcom ever: that grownups really DO understand, that they are human and fallible, yet reliable and caring. I have come to identify with the noble notion that as adults, we all have a responsibility to help the youth in our community through the rough spots in their lives. I found it excruciatingly ironic that Josie Davis, despite playing a role that revolved around "the beauty within," felt like the "ugly sister."

    Several people have commented that the Jaimie character was their first crush, but I always thought Josie Davis was hands down the more beautiful of the two. Having seen her since on 90210, I gotta say, "YOWZA!" Was I right or what? Inner beauty rocks, and Josie's got it inside and out!
