Charles In Charge TV Show Opening Video

Posted on 11:15 PM by fjtrfjf
A companion to Cartoon TV Rama, TV Times Television Greats features the best tv programs that span three decades. Watch opening sequences and famous scenes from your favorite '60s, '70s, and '80s tv shows!


Charles In Charge (1984)

Charles in Charge is a sitcom series which starred tv idol Scott Baio as Charles, a 19-year-old college student working as a family live-in babysitter.

Charles first worked for the Pembroke family: wife Jill, husband Stan, and their three children, Lila, Douglas and Jason. When the show ended its run and entered syndication in early 1987, the story was explained so that the Pembrokes moved away and the Powells moved into their house, allowing Charles to live downstairs yet again. This time the family consisted of grandfather Walter, mother Ellen (whose husband was in the military and could only visit his family sporadically), and her three kids, Jamie, Sarah and Adam.

Chicks to Chicks Family Values

Posted on 1:50 PM by fjtrfjf
By: Guillermo Ramos

Americans had The Waltons and The Brady Bunch. We had Chicks to Chicks.


The father's political career ended after his son was found guilty of rape and murder. The child was shot dead in a stupid traffic altercation. The boarder jumped to her death from the 23rd floor. Is there a curse on the cast of Chicks to Chicks?

Chito was the archetypal Pinoy macho man, whose only aim in life was to transmit his bad seed to the nearest receptacle available.

In the early 80's we saw the emergence of a Filipino middle class whose collective ambition was to just get by. One television show that illustrated this phenomenon so well was Chicks to Chicks, known later as Chicka Chicka Chicks. It chronicled the day-to-day activities of a middle-class (extended) Filipino family—their dreams, ambitions, and, uh, values.

People were glued to their TV screens every Wednesday night, ogling the "chicks" and laughing at the recycled jokes, the sexual innuendo, the macho posturing of the male cast and the helplessness of the featured bimbos.



'Chicks to Chicks' Theme Song
Original track: 'Chic Chica Chic Chica Chic' by Biddu Orchestra


The Family

Nova Villa (Mrs. Ines Capistrano) - Nova played a short and frumpy housewife who had no issues whatsoever with her body, despite being surrounded by five-foot-nine-inch 36-24-36 beauty queens and models. Her idea of fine dining was steak, and her favorite activity was taking extended showers with her husband. At 60, the youthful Ms. Villa still portrays variations on the Ines character, most recently in the sitcom Home Along Da Riles.

Freddie Webb (Mr. Jimmy Capistrano) – This was his in-between job after he retired from playing basketball and before he represented Parañaque in Congress. He eventually became a Senator.

Jimmy was the tall, debonair husband who fulfilled all of Ines' material and sexual desires. To this day I haven't figured out what sort of business he was in. All I know is that it involved models and other beautiful young things who did double-duty in the Capistrano household as furniture. Webb's television and political career took a downward spiral after his son Hubert Webb was convicted in the Vizconde murder case. He was last seen in Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata and the short-lived Mana Mana. According to my PDA he frequents a hotel gym and pumps iron. Yes, he is still crunchy.

Chuchi (Lola) - Her signature was the elegant, Castilaloy hoarse-voiced lola. She was mama to Ines, biyenan to Jimmy, and lola to Strawberry. She was the forgetful, nurturing, but sometimes scheming matriarch in the Capistrano household. Rosario Hernandez in real life, Chuchi died of old age in 2004. She was 91. Chuchi joined show business at the age of 13. She started out as a singer-dancer and stage actress at the Clover and Gala Theaters until her natural comic talent paved the way for a career in the movies and television. She had no children.

Chito Arceo (Bayaw) - He practically invented the word "manyakis" (manyak sa kiss). Chito played the younger brother of Ines and the business partner of Jimmy. He was the archetypal Pinoy macho man, whose only aim in life was to transmit his bad seed to the nearest receptacle available. His sartorial preferences generally consisted of a shirt unbuttoned to his chest, revealing a thick gold necklace and little strands of chest hair. He carried a clutch bag and smoked More cigarettes, the thin, brown variety. The things he did to the girls in Chicks to Chicks would make him the whipping boy of Gabriela in this day and age of political correctness. Haven't heard much about him lately, but he is a television executive for a major network.

Strawberry (Strawberry) - The unica hija of Ines and Jimmy, Strawberry played the over-fed, under-loved and often ignored middle class Filipino child so common in today's state of affairs. She was the bubbly child exposed to the Barbies and Kens of questionable morals. Her real name was Noche Sumayao. She was caught in the crossfire and killed in the aftermath of a stupid traffic altercation that involved her boyfriend.

Sammy Lagmay (Sammy) - The perennial usisero and pakialamero, Sammy played the bumbling janitor/messenger/office boy to Jimmy and Chito. He was an abusive employee and sexual molester. For some reason we found this hilarious. He would assume the bosses’ position in their absence, only to take advantage of female applicants. Sammy had a steady stream of work when he moved to ABS-CBN, appearing in Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata, Only in the Pilipins, Palibhasa Lalake, and practically all the sitcoms on ABS-CBN.

The Chicks

Carmi Martin (Carmi) - It's a good thing I don't remember anything about her character in Chick to Chicks. All I remember is the screaming, the whining, and the rudimentary clothes she wore: tube tops and short shorts. This was before she became a serious actress, bagging major roles in the Lino Brocka films Bayan Ko: Kapit sa Patalim and Cain at Abel . In the late 80's, together with her colleagues from Chicks to Chicks, she migrated to ABS-CBN, where she became one of the talents in sausage factory sitcoms and variety shows like Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata , Only in the Pilipins, and Tonight with Dick and Carmi (which I remember fondly as Booby Dick). She has an enduring quality and a knack for reinventing herself as her contemporaries faded into oblivion. She now plays a contravida in a telenovela, Ikaw Lamang ang Mamahalin on GMA 7.

Lorraine Schuck and Bong Dimayacyac - Other than their good looks, these two former beauty queens had nothing to offer the camera but shrieks and giggles. Haven't heard about Bong Dimayacyac since. Lorraine established Carousel Productions and runs Miss Earth, a beauty pageant with a "vision, mission and goal pertaining to environmental consciousness."

Maria Theresa Carlson (Si Ikaw, Si Ako) - She was mestiza, young, and perky. She endeared herself to the audience with her inability to deliver her lines. People adored her mangled Tagalog. Theresa was crowned Binibining Pilipinas-Young International in 1979, amid a bumper crop of beauties which included Melanie Marquez, Dang Cecilio, and Cathy Veloso. She was barely 15 years old then. In 1981 she graduated from the International School and became a model, beauty products endorser, and TV personality. Five years later she was living with Ilocos Norte politician Rodolfo Fariñas. They had six kids. Carlson and Fariñas got married in 1991, after pressure from the Fariñas clan and the Catholic Church.

In 1998, Theresa made a phone call to a women's NGO and said she was the victim of domestic violence. There were all sorts of rumors, TV exposes and tabloid reports, but for some reason no real investigation took place. As in, nothing happened. Last year, just before Christmas, Maria Theresa Carlson leaped to her death from the 23rd floor of a Greenhills apartment building. No one will ever know the truth. If you thought that someone as beautiful as she would be spared the problems of the real world, think again. Contrary to popular belief, mestizas don’t get all the fun.

Tune in every Saturday as Nicholas recalls the Disco Decade in Manila when Martial Law, Cuban heels, Donna Summer, Coco Banana and a lot of hair combined in a frenzy of uncertain excitement.

Chapter 10 - The Moon Leopard Part Two

Having met my partner in the automobile manufacturing business over champagne in a bar in Malate and, further, having dreamt up the name MOON LEOPARD, I now found myself in the extremely unenviable position of actually having to manufacture the beast together with Nanding and his merry band of mechanics in a large tin hut somewhere near Munitinlupa Municipal Jail! Sure, it sounded like we all knew what we were doing - after all there was Renault in Paris who was going to put in a special six cylinder Alpine engine and there was me, an almost famous designer who managed to win the PBA 2nd Conference Basketball Trophy without knowing anything at all about basketball and there was Nanding himself; manufacturer of jeeps that plied the streets of Manila but would never in a million years get a certificate of road worthiness in Europe. An eclectic mixture to say the least.

I had drawn a pretty design - actually it wasn't pretty at all! It looked pretty fierce: rugged. masculine and almost, but not quite, retro. But now there I was on day one...and there was Nanding...and behind Nanding was a motley crew of workers...and they were all waiting for instructions! My erstwhile partner, Jean Guy Jules has been rushed off on a photographic assignment somewhere in the world and I was left holding a bag of assorted nuts and bolts and hoping wildly that I wouldn't be exposed for the novice I actually was.

I had one large advantage. I was white. A foreigner and, as such everybody was somewhat nervous, respectful and quite convinced I knew what I was doing even if I wasn't actually quite sure what a carburetor actually did. Dust flew, sparks skidded off partially rusty metal plates and the rain fell in buckets. A dead cat lay forlornly in a sodden heap of partial decomposition just outside the entrance and Nanding and I discussed in a manly sort of way what would be the order of the day. I sketched arcs and angles on large sheets of brown paper and welders scratched the side of their heads in the way that Filipinos do when they feel they are being painted into a corner. "No, it MUST be like this because............"Well, because that's what I wanted. And I was the designer. So there. So blessed with complete incomprehension as to what was possible and what was not I sort of forced my way through the minefield and we all entered uncharted territory...sort of feeling our way forward in the darkness. And it grew. This monster of a stainless steel sports jeep actually started to look like a vehicle. Seats arrived from Recaro upholstered in leather with contrast piping that matched the wood grain trim on the dashboard (well, I WAS a designer). Various instruments that measured things that I couldn't understand arrived from Renault in Paris and anxious and frequently expletive laced phone calls arrived from various locations abroad as Jean Guy attempted to find out how our project was progressing. For a Frenchman he sure knew a lot of English swear words!

The wonderful thing about not knowing what you are doing is that obstacles that would deter even the strongest of hearts were not even perceived and therefore one entered the minefield unaware but somehow imbued with the luck of the truly naive. What was even more amazing was seeing this monster of a gleaming stainless steel jeep growing in a scene of almost total desolation that passed for a factory. It truly was straight out of Charles Dickens in the nineteenth century...a place so basic that if you wanted to use the bathroom all you found was a fetid hole in the ground that smelled so bad.....well, you didn't. Nothing. One worked with crossed legs.

The day I drove it to the airport where it was loaded into a 747 cargo plane was an experience almost impossible to convey. The Moon Leopard didn't have the right engine in it because Renault would only install it in Paris but even with the Renegade engine in, it handled like a dream. It purred. It roared! Heads snapped back as we zoomed past...late of course...to catch the plane to Paris. I'd had a similar experience before as I had (or the Nicholas Stoodley team had anyway) won the PBA Basketball Trophy. What the hell did I know about basketball or jeeps. I just knew how to draw pretty pictures. But my days as a designer of sports jeeps - my first steps as the new Henry Ford - they were to no avail. I met a man in a bar (again in Malate) called Uli who one could discern from his thick accent was German who convinced me I was God's answers to his prayers which consisted of finding a designer for his handicraft business and that was that. Handicrafts I could understand and anyway I DID the jeep and that, I knew, was pure luck. It wouldn't always be like that!

The Moon Leopard made it to the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany and quite a few got sold. A sultan (I think from Oman) bought one and I hear they have become collectors items now. It was an adventure and I suppose that it was I really am...a vaguely insane English adventurer!

Start from the beginning! Read: Chapter 1 - An English Virgin

Nicholas Stoodley was born near London and has lived at one time or another in the South of France, Rome, Sydney, Tagaytay, England, Paris and Manila with plans to move to Ibiza shortly. A former assistant to Valentino in Rome, he arrived in Manila in 1976 and pioneered Ready to Wear in the Philippines with the NICHOLAS STOODLEY brand of casual clothing. During his stay in the Philippines Nicholas also won the PBA Invitational Basketball Conference in 1980 with his team from Los Angeles, designed and manufactured a Stainless Steel Sports Utility Jeep that was featured in the Frankfurt Motor Show and opened "Skatetown", a Roller Disco with Jorge Araneta in Cubao. And that was just the first course!

Peel Here! Shawn's Sticker Collection #05: Zero Heroes Stickers

Posted on 9:43 PM by fjtrfjf
Nostalgia Manila in cooperation with www.brandedinthe80s.com proudly presents, Peel Here! Our very good friend Shawn Robare has the most extensive sticker collection you've ever seen! Showcasing fun and rare vintage sticker sets from the 70's to the 80's. This will definitely take you back to all those fun times at school, trading stickers with your friends!


Year: 1983

Shawn's Comments: In 1983 Donruss and General Mills teamed up to produce a set of 66 Super Hero parody sticker cards, which were probably influenced by Topp's long running Wacky Packages (product parody) stickers. Though not as prolific as other companies like Fleer and Topps, Donruss did manage to issue a few sticker oriented card sets in the late 70s and early 80s. Each character had a complete bio on the back of the sticker card that included their origin and list of ememies.

Isa nanamang News Flash ni Kermit the frog na nagre-report ng kanyang live news break mula naman ngayon sa farm ni Old MacDonald.
