October 3, 1984. Charles in Charge made its premiere on CBS. I was a sophomore in high school. Hard to believe it's been that long, but I can still remember watching that premiere episode. It was on a Wednesday night.

At the time, I was a "Fall Guy" fan, which was CIC's competition on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday nights. Again, as I mentioned in the first paragraph, I was only a sophomore in high school at the time. And in the eyes of a sophomore, it didn't take much to become attracted to certain actresses. And one of those was "The Fall Guy's" Heather Thomas. Thomas is not to be confused with Heather Locklear who was also turning heads at the time on Saturday nights in "T.J. Hooker."

Nonetheless, I decided I would give CIC a try that night. And I became hooked; Gwendolyn Pierce had overtaken Heather Thomas. LOL. But it was more than just that. Many of the storylines I could relate with at the time. For the most part I watched just about every episode that season, unless something for school would cause me to miss one here and there. At the time, the idea of having a VCR was unheard of.

Anyway, thought I'd bring up that piece of information. So, in a way, Happy 20th Anniversary (or birthday, whatever you prefer) to the CIC gang.

It is hard to believe that it has been 20 years. :birthday:

Wow! That's really cool. Hadn't realized it. Thanks for posting. :)

Wow, 20 years? Thats awesome!!! :happybirthday:

Meant to add this in the original post:

From this very same website Charles in Charge Online (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/charlesincharge.html) it says:

Broadcast History:

First Telecast: October 3, 1984 (on CBS)
Last Telecast: July 24, 1985 (on CBS)

its really weird that CIC first came on the air 20 years ago...20 years ago i wasnt alive

Hard to believe its been 20 years, where does the time go? :) I haven't been here for awhile, thanks for reminding me.

:eek: I can't believe it's been 20 years.

I'm 26 I was alive in 1984 I was a baby though.I saw CIC reruns on Channel 11 in the 90's and I thought it was a 1990's tv show but I was also 11 going on 12 when I first saw it.Mel :cool:

I was a Fall Guy fan too so I didn't watch CIC when it was on CBS. I started watching when it was in first run syndication and I still have never seen the last episode. I wish N@n would put it back on and give it a good timeslot.
