Charles in Charge
*Charles in Charge* is an American sitcom starring Scott Baio as Charles, a 19-year-old student at the fictional Copeland College in New Brunswick, New Jersey, who works as a live-in babysitter in exchange for room and board. Baio directed many episodes of the show and was credited with his full name, Scott Vincent Baio. The series first aired on CBS from October 3, 1984, to April 3, 1985, but was cancelled due to poor performance in the Nielsen ratings. It later had a more successful run in first-run syndication from January 3, 1987, to November 10, 1990, with 126 original episodes broadcast in total. The show was produced by Al Burton Productions and Scholastic Productions in association with Universal Television, and distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution and New Line Cinema Corporation.
