I have never watched 1 episode of this show, but the other night I was watching the behind the scenes story of it...where they talk to all the actors in it. I always like listening to Scott Baio's story, because I loved him on Happy Days. Was anyone a fan of it? Is it out on DVD?

This was a great show, for me anyway. I always idolized Charles and Buddy for being so cool and getting all those girls. I also had a thing for Nicole Eggert back then....what boy didn't? It is on DVD I think.
Josie Davis is really cute now. She aged really well. Nicole Eggert still looks the same. Willie Ames really got messed up...I always loved him and Scott in Zapped! Does anyone know if they are still friends in real life?

Do you guys remember the FIRST run of CHARLES IN CHARGE? He worked for a differnet family (not Jamie, Sarah and Adam). There was a smart-*** little kid on the show that my best friend HATED and I thought the kid was cute and funny and was gonna "be cute when he grew up". My friend would tease me mercilessly about this kid saying "There's your BOYFRIEEEEEEEEEEEND" every time we watched the show (Wonder how that kid turned out? Better check IMDB!)
I dont think Aames and Baio are still friends. He's a holy roller now. I have seen him on reality shows like CELEBRITY FIT CLUB and I have seen Scott on SCOTT BAIO IS 45 or whatever that show was called and neither mentioned the other.
They were a great team though. i even loved their chemistry in ZAPPED!

charles in charge was a fun show. my friend and i always watched the reruns. buddy was so stupid he was funny.
and nicole eggert is easy on the eyes.
i really need to see zapped again. i haven't seen it since it was on cable in the 80's. i know it wasn't on dvd for a long time but maybe it finally got its release.

yes it is on DVD now (ZAPPED). I loved it as a kid and watched it as a grown up about a year ago and was embaressed at how bad it is. I dont even thin it aged poorly...I think it always sucked! Hahaha. But i always thought both Willie and Scott were cute (and for the fellas theres Heather Thomas!) so....worth seeing again.
Now CHARLES IN CHARGE...i dont think I want to watch it again. Itw as fine as a nothin-else-on time waster show...but Im sure I'd cringe watching it now.

Charles in Charge was decent, but not decent enough for me to warrant buying it on DVD. Catchy theme song, though.

Zapped definetly has that so bad it's good vibe. I remember kidding with some buddies by making that look/wink Baio makes in the movie when he wants his powers to do something. It was also the start of the Baio Will Ames partnership.
I saw a few Charles in Charge episodes of late on TVland or Dejaview, it wasn't as good as I remembered it , but hey at least it was a step up from Joani Loves Chachi right? It had it's fun moments, although back then I probably watched it more for Nicole Eggert.

I remember Charles in Charge pretty well. I always thought it was a pretty cheesy show - even back then - but it had something that still made it fun to watch despite its problems. Kind of like Saved by the Bell.
