Both shows (https://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/showthread.php?148544-Who-s-the-Boss-vs-Charles-In-Charge) first came on the air in 1984 and were about (https://scottbaio.wordpress.com/2013/07/26/charles-in-charge-links-and-lists/) fish-out-of-water (https://forum.legendsofequestria.com/index.php?topic=14677.0), Italian-American, and Brooklyn bred (Tony Danza and Scott Baio) male housekeepers (https://www.pajiba.com/tv_reviews/the-insidious-messaging-behind-all-those-male-housekeeper-sitcoms-in-the-1980s.php). I find it interesting that at least three cast-members of Charles in Charge (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125247/http://www.jumptheshark.com/c/charlesincharge.htm), were on Who's the Boss? (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125256/http://www.jumptheshark.com/w/whostheboss.htm) Prior to landing her role as Jamie Powell on Charles in Charge (https://web.archive.org/web/20140407133035/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/3122609-charles-in-charge/), Nicole Eggert had a recurring role on WTB (https://web.archive.org/web/20140402224843/http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/topic/2874131-whos-the-boss/page-1) as Samantha Micelli's best friend Marci Crawford.

Sandra Kerns, who played Nicole Eggert's mother, Ellen Powell on CIC, appeared in the WTB episode (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0747821/) "Sex, Lies and Exercise Tape" (https://www.audible.com/pd/Sex-Lies-and-Exercise-Tape-Podcast/B09RWQFSK4?ref=a_pd_Ay-oh-_c3_lAsin_0_0&pf_rd_p=625c212d-b95a-47db-8d56-d35a359de6e9&pf_rd_r=BF3J9J8RDKZ82RCHK06F) from its sixth season. And Jonathan Ward, who played Douglas Pembroke in the first season (http://www.boxofficeprophets.com/column/index.cfm?columnID=9472) of Charles in Charge was later on Who's the Boss? as Michael Learned's son, Rick Carlin, in the original backdoor pilot for the Living Dolls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Dolls) spin-off.
