Charles in Charge

In the wake of a disastrous summer vacation, everything seems to be falling apart: Charles (Scott Baio) gets rid of all his rules, Walter (James T. Callahan) moves out and Sarah (Josie Davis) invites a homeless man to live with the family. But the real drama in the fifth and final season of this popular 1980s sitcom hangs on whether Charles gets into graduate school at Princeton University.
