I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

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.

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.

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!

"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!!!
