DVD Reviews of Charles in Charge: The Complete Fourth Season (Amazon.com Exclusive DVD)
DVD Review: Ok, but not what the previous seasons were...
Summary: 3 Stars
Season 4 of "Charles" finds the title character almost finished with college, yet still maintaining his live-in nanny position with the now teenage Powell children. His mother Lillian, who moved to town and purchased a pizzeria in the previous season, abruptly and with no clear reason decides to switch to a `50s diner instead. Meanwhile, Charles' loyal friend Buddy is still by his side as the two scheme their way through various school, girl and life issues.
While overall the show is reassuringly similar to the previous three seasons, it's here that the formula really stops working. For one thing, the two Powell daughters are well into high school and their younger brother Adam is close behind, making it stretch believability as to the household's need for Charles by this point. For another, the character of Buddy - once goofy, yet still reliable and smart enough when push came to shove - has become so dumb as to be a charicature of himself. Then, the character of Mrs. Powell disappears for numerous episodes at a time - perhaps due to some kind of the actress' real-life issues at the time - but her absence is largely ignored. Perhaps trying to combat that, The Powers That Be added Anthony, a long-lost orphan cousin of Charles' who is now living with Lillian. As there's already an adolescent boy - Adam - this newcomer seems a bit superfluous and is completely Cousin Oliver Syndrome in practice.
Nonetheless, if you're a "Charles in Charge" fan, you may still enjoy this season, if for no other reason than nostalgia. Episodes of note include "No Nukes is Good Nukes," where viewers finally get to see the long-elusive Commander Powell; "Duelling Presleys," where the gang tries to book an Elvis impersonator for the diner, which of course results in hijinks; and "Adam See, Adam Do," where the youngest Powell goes on a date with a classmate - played by an adolescent Kellie Martin.
