In the first season, the 19-year-old college student gets a gig taking care of three kids whose parents have busy working schedules. Invited to live in their home, Charles juggles his child-rearing responsibilities with attempts to have a normal college life. Between romances, hanging out with his best friend Buddy Lembeck (Willie Aames), and keeping three pre-teens in check, Charles has his hands full. The first season of CHARLES IN CHARGE was unique because it was the only season to star the Pembroke family. The show got cancelled after its debut season, but in an unusual move, was brought back to television a few years later. When the show returned, it featured an entirely different family, the Powells. This release includes 22 episodes, including the series pilot. Just a few of the stars who appear as guests are Christina Applegate, Matthew Perry, and Meg Ryan. CHARLES IN CHARGE- THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON also includes a preview episode from the show's second season. [More]
