Besides Ben Stein who was big as in acting In movies more in the 80's, and 90's or at least had a cameo role in them, can anybody think of Already famous stars that guested on this show? Some soon to be famous people like Meg Ryan, Matthew Perry, and the late Paul Walker got their starts on this show. But other projects would have made them more the household names then Charles in Charge.

shareActually you explained that Tony Dow played Wally Clever on Leave it to Beaver for nothing, I already know who he played on the show as it is another one of my favorite tv series. And I also aware that Rue McClanahan was on the Golden Girls, I have never really watched a whole entire episode but that is the show with the Thank you for being a friend theme song.
shareWell, I wasn't just explaining it for your benefit, but for the benefit of other people who venture onto the IMDb site.
shareI would think a lot of people should be familar with who the people are, in less they are not familar with tv shows that debuted before say 2000, which would make them not familar with this tv show as well.
shareWow! Thank you! That was really nice of you to post all of that information. I had no idea about most of it. Thank you again...I am sure many people appreciate you for taking your time and posting all that info....I know I do! :-)
