About Charlie[]
Equally as snobby and bragadocious as his wife, Carolyn, Charlie is the manager of a local television station, and he often is sought out among his circle of friends to secure television time slots. Lucy feels he must try to be nice to both Caroline and husband Charlie, for he has the influence to secure potential airtime for Ricky, who welcomes media exposure for the Cobana Club shows. Charlie loves Carolyn and his son, Stevie deeply, and, like the Ricardos seek for their son Little Ricky, he wants to provide them with nothing but the best.
