This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Mehdi Hoffman
There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Yes I admit I like this show. I enjoyed the first family more but the banter between Mr. Powell , the grandpa , curmudgeon military man vs. silly,naive, party animal, reckless Buddy Lembeck was truly magic and fun to watch every episode. I thought Scott Baio character was horrible on Happy Days and ChaChi was a shark jumper for that show. On this show , I felt that Scott Baio was a great character as the 'nanny' so to speak. It was a light show and thoroughly enjoyable. Not great acting, not exactly ALL IN THE FAMILY status, but it worked and it did not pretend to be something it was not. A light show with OK acting and good for a few wholesome laughs.

This show is really boring! I would rather die than watch it again. I hope that you don't watch it either. Charles in Charge has no story line and it has no plots at all this show makes me hate Scot Baio! I'm surprised it lasted more than a month let alone 6 years! I'm surprised that Nick @ Nite is so pathetic that they would even have this show on at 4:30 at night! Instead they should have Three's Company a better funnier show everyone can agree is great and not pathetic and moronic like Charles in Charge. I'm still trying to get that image of a bad comedy out of my head! I hope that the one person that likes this show is in a mental institution because they must be crazy! It annoys me to see such airtime on TV go to waste because some guy was on Happy Days and wants his own show. It is outrageous! It wasn't even his show! Happy Days wasn't about Scot Baio it was about Harry Winkler and Ron Howard those were the main characters. Its people like Scot Baio that destroy peace in this world. HE'S NOT A STAR!

I am a child of the 80s and I grew up watching Charles in Charge. I never really liked it then but for some reason I watched it. I guess I watched it to drool over Jami Powell. So right now it's 4:30 am and I am watching it on Nick @ Nite. Thank god it's only on at 4:30.Charles in Charge is soooooo moronic, predictable, and stupid. I think the script was written by 5th grade special ed students. And Buddy Lembeck has to be one of the most irritating characters to ever be on television.
If you can't sleep just turn on Nick @ Nite watch Charles in Charge. It will bore you to death.

"Charles In Charge" has to be one of my all-time favorite TV shows. Scott Baio and Willie Aames were the ultimate team. These two guys had an obvious chemistry together, and their close friendship off screen shined in their performances on the show.Nicole Eggert was the first girl I EVER had a "crush" on, in TV land or reality! That "crush" has never gone away either. Nicole was adorable on "Charles In Charge." She was absolutely GORGEOUS. Her smile, eyes, voice, and all-around personality made me fall in love with her from the start. She was an incredibly talented young actress. No other individual could've even come close to portraying the character "Jamie Powell" like Nicole so perfectly did.Sarah, Adam, Aunt Lilian, Mrs. Powell, Grandpa Walter, and all the rest were great also. I really enjoyed the Pembroke family episodes (84-85) too, but the Powell family brought the show its greatest success and magic. Let's not forget about the extremely catchy theme song. It RULED!I would do anything to hear of a "Charles In Charge Reunion" in the works. I truly miss this great show, but luckily, WGN still airs re-runs on Sunday mornings. I will complain, though, that "Charles In Charge" belongs on television DAILY, and not merely once a week. That's not enough to please its devoted fans like me. You need 5 stars for this wonderful 80's family show? I'll give you 10!!!
