Charles in Charge 1984/1985 – The First Season

People seem to either love Scott Baio or hate him. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground. However, I am old enough to remember Scott being a great addition to the Happy Days cast just when the show needed some new life.

"Charles in Charge" had a pretty good premise for a show. And, as always, watching these great 80s television shows now, it's a real treat to see many of today's big stars making appearances before anybody even knew who they were.

Enjoy this latest edition to the many 80s television shows available on Hulu.Com

Scott Baio stars as Charles, a nineteen-year-old college student who, in exchange for room and board, serves as a live-in nanny to three energetic children. Helping Charles through his more trying moments is his irreverent friend Buddy Lembeck (Willie Aames).

A classic family comedy, "Charles in Charge" remains a popular series for all audiences as well as a cultural touchstone for a generation of fans who wanted nothing more than for Scott Baio to be in charge of their days and their nights.

With a new album and a long career, U2 remains one of the biggest selling acts from the 1980s.

U2 has always been outspoken, but has remained forever true to their 80s roots.

For sure, the tour to promote the new album will again break records. Unfortunately, one of those records will likely be the price of a ticket to the show.

Anyway, enjoy this clip of U2's special Top Ten List. You'll also find several clips at CBS.Com of live performances of songs from their latest album.
