Season 5 Episode 19 "Lost Resort" Seemed like a pilot for a Willie Aames spin-off series. I noticed that as the show came to an end, that 3 episode in particular seemed as attempted spin-off pilots for some of the cast. I loved watching this show back when it first aired, and I loved watching it recently on DVD.
He and Charles are such good friends and have great times, dating girls and keeping everything at the household under control. In any case, I have seen some of the first season as well as the later seasons and they are all good. The Pembrokes and Powells are definitely not totally the same but there are some similarities. Charles now has to contend with Grandpa, Mom Powell, (Dad is away in the Navy), teenager Jamie, middle schooler Sarah, and 10-year-old Adam. From then on, the Powells are the new family who have leased the house and they also maintain Charles' services. Pembroke and Jason both show up in the episode to explain things to Charles and to say goodbye. Pembroke got transferred from his job in Pennslyvania to Seattle, Washington. season, it is explained that while Buddy and Charles were on a camping trip, Mr. However, it was revived in syndication from 1987-1990 and on the first episode of the 2nd. The reason for this is because Charles in Charge originally ran in 1984 for the first season and was cancelled. From the second season on to the last one, Charles switches families and stays with the Powells, as the Pembrokes are moving to Seattle. Charles In Charge was a clean wholesome show that had some good comedy and some sound advice for living as well.Ĭharles in Charge is a show about a college student who becomes a live-in helper for the Pembroke family, consisting of mom and dad, teenager Lily, middle schooler Douglas, and 10-year-old Jason.
Ellen Travolta was in several episodes toward the end and we learned she called him 'doodlebug' as pet name. Like Jessie, Charles was always around with some good advice and ever ready to solve the problems of the Powell kids. I mean who else orders patio furniture without a patio, that was the level of comedy Aames provided, but he was funny. In Eight Is Enough Aames was your all American kid, here he's your all American doofus. The only other regular kept on was Aames who played Buddy Lembeck, Charles best friend who provided most of the comedy. He does in that first episode and the run for seven years was assured. So in the second season Baio comes back from summer vacation and finds a whole new family moved in with three kids, two girls and a boy of roughly the same ages and he has to make a case to be hired by the newly arrived Powell family. The first season the family was the Pembrokes, but for some reason the family never clicked with the public. He's a college student who pays his tuition as a live in Au Pere for a family with three kids.
#CHARLES IN CHARGE IMDB SERIES#
Charles In Charge's most current series that is like it is Jessie from the Disney Channel. Lucky because the whole cast revamped in the second season except for Baio and Willie Aames. Scott Baio after Happy Days concluded its run was lucky enough to grab this second series which gave him quite a few more years in front of the American television viewing public. James Callahan's role as the grandfather got bigger as well. So I still watched the episodes but I thought the show got weaker with Ellen Travolta playing Charles' mother. It was more about Skippy, Charles, and the new kids. Powell disappeared even though her name and face were in the credits, she left sometime during the production to raise her own family sadly. The Powells were prettier than the Pembrokes but I liked the first family better.
Unlike Mama's Family, Charles in Charge replaced an entire family. The same for Charles in Charge, there was the audience for the comedy. It resurfaced over a year later on Saturday evening television in something called syndication. Like Charles in Charge, Mama's Family was cancelled after 2 seasons. If you think about, Charles In Charge paralleled Mama's Family on NBC which attracted probably not the kind of audience that the network wanted for their demographics. Again after a year, the show had a large following but there was not enough room in the prime time schedule for an average sitcom in the age of Cosby Show's success. I remember when the show first aired on CBS television. I hate to say this but I preferred the first family, the Pembrokes to the Powells, but beggars can't be choosers.
