Scott Baio is 45...and Single Premieres July 15, 2007 10:30 PM EST
At 45, Scott Baio finds himself at a mid-life crisis of mythic proportions, wondering why he's still single, alone and still unable to settle down and commit to a substantial, meaningful relationship. Tune in to VH1 for the season premiere on July 15, 2007 10:30 PM.


Never was a huge fan of his myself..but knew a lot of girls "back in the day" that had a crush on him. I'm always looking for new summer viewing, so I guess I'll check it out.

P.S. For any fans of Scott Baio, this is also posted on the vh1.com site:

Tell Scott why he should marry you! Send us your confessions and Scott may read your response online in VSPOT.

well there's a name i haven't heard in 10 years.

sad... but undeniably funny

his list of ex's is quite impressive:

"Baio is also famous for dating several very popular actresses over the years. Among them, his Joanie Loves Chachi co-star Erin Moran, Baywatch actresses Pamela Anderson, Erika Eleniak and Nicole Eggert (the latter co-starring with Baio on Charles In Charge prior to Baywatch); Natalie Raitano, Nicolette Sheridan, Brooke Shields, Denise Richards, and Heather Locklear. Baio twice was engaged to Anderson, but it was called off both times. His success with women led to his induction into The Man Show Hall of Fame on July 21, 1999."

Sounds like he likes blonds. Too bad he and Heather couldn't make it work. They would make a cute couple and he's better looking than her ex-husbands.

I just saw the commercial for the show and cracked up. What next?! I have a little Scott Baio story. We took my sister to see him play in a softball game before a Giants game, years ago. She had a huge crush on him as did all the 10 - 12 year olds back then. It was the whole Happy Days crew which was actually quite cool to see them all but my sister wanted a picture of Scott and he was walking down along the side of the field so we run over with the camera. All the girls are yelling Scott and he keeps walking so I wedge myself down between them and here I am, 21 years old, big boobs and all and I yell Scott. He comes walking up to me and poses for the pics. I was cracking up, he was so full of himself! But it did make my sister happy.

Dating is not a relationship. I think he's a bit pathetic.

I guess everyone's on the reality tv dating bandwagon. And he's getting paid for it.

Cute story, Mamie.

Oh yes, very pathetic, Costacat and I agree, Mocha that these has-been stars are grasping for ways to continue making money without really working.

Face it...for most of these people, it's either reality TV or Rehab. Anything for another round of publicity.

Speaking of rehab..I've been kind of wondering when that will finally surface. Something along the lines of Celebrity "Intervention." You never know these days with some celebs so desperate for any type of attention.

I liked Scott Baio 'in the day' and I happen to be 44 and single...

Yoda slaps herself back into reality; Scott Baio? Seriously? He's probably another Dustin Diamond looking for face time.

Hm, I watched that matchmaker show on A&E this weekend and there was a 41 year old guy looking for love and it turned out that he was probably gay...of course that guy was also a virgin. Who knows why SB is single. I'll watch if there is nothing else on.

I'd do him. Oh WAIT -- I'm married. Caveat: were I SINGLE, I'd do him. :-)

Love me some Chachi. (wiping the drool...)

I loved Scott during Happy Days. Had a nice scrap book that was half Scott, half Charlie's Angels (cuz I was going to grow up and be a Charlie's Angel of course).
I'll watch....just like the train wrecks that were Flavor of Love, and I Love New York...Oh, and Charm School...and and (the list is endless)

I went to vh1 and looked at the photos there. It is strange to see him looking like he looks in the more recent photos. He still looks like himself, but different (a little)... and older.

I hope I remember to watch this. I have never watched vh1. Maybe they just made him an offer that was hard to refuse. Maybe they made him an offer and he thought it'd be fun. I don't think it's pathetic right now. I hope I don't change my mind on this. It would be nice if he finds his dream wife after all these years. I am not holding out much hope for that though. I am a sucker for a Trista Ryan type ending.

From tmz.com:
San Fernando Valley lothario Scott Baio, who has allegedly had his way with numerous Hollywood honeys -- including Heather Locklear, Pamela Anderson, Denise Richards and Nicollette Sheridan -- is now 45 and still single. What?
Chaci, seen here with pal Jason Hervey (Wayne on "Wonder Years"), is now joining the rank ranks of Flava Flav and Bret Michaels on VH1 to search for a soulmate. The show will follow Baio as he tries to find himself while enduring a mid-life crisis, wondering why he's still single and unable to settle down -- not even with his current girlfriend, Renee. Walk away, Renee!
Baio has agreed to fully surrender the next eight weeks of his life to exhaustive introspection with a life coach, Dr. Alison Arnold, otherwise known as "Doc Ali". Doc Ali will try to get to the core of his problem, and Scott will be forced to revisit some ex-girlfriends -- and take a vow of celibacy.
If the lengthy list of Scotty's beam-ups is true, a vow of celibacy might not stick!

Did anyone else catch the first show today? Scott should have hired Dr. Phil as his life coach so that Phil could ask him, "What were you thinking?"

I'll probably watch the series. I wouldn't say it is good, though. I found Baio to be arrogant, full of himself, and shallow. He acts as if he really wants to know the reasons why he has a failure to commit but uncovering those reasons, if taken seriously, should be an intimate self-evaluation that is very private and perhaps painful. I can't imagine that going through that journey on a light-hearted reality show is an indication of taking it all that seriously unless he doesn't have the ability to look that deeply into himself or the humility to recognize his character flaws.

There is something about the way that he and his buddies recount all his past impressive conquests that irks me. It's like they are listing the roll of honor of notches on his bedposts. It's nothing but bragging really. It somehow diminishes the individual woman and her distinct personality and place in his life to just one of the babes he bedded. I suspect Baio is still single because he doesn't value or respect women rather than it being some tragic commitment issue such as his mom abandoned him on the side of the road or his first love died tragically or some movie of the week explanation like that.


Erin Moran is on the show. I didn't see what she did or said that was so offensive to Baio. I think he twists people's words around to fit into his agenda of telling a good story or being the victim.

There is one point where he list what he is looking for in a women and blond, good rack, and great body are top criteria.

He and his buddies are so stereotypical manly--playing golf, smoking cigars, and going to the races. Nothing wrong with any of these things--just saying... Oh and one of his friends is a real jerk!

LOL ... I watched and I completely agree with Westtexan. Fear of committment? Maybe a little. More like no value for women, full of himself and shallow. And I agree, his friends aren't helping him any.

I watched the first hour-long debut episode. At the end of the hour I reflected and just thought to myself that this show is just another train wreck you get to watch on television and that I feel some pity for him.

However, he has himself to look to in terms of taking responsibility for his actions. He’s completely objectionable to any comments made to him or about him coming from females. If its suggested he take certain actions to learn a little more about his life and receive constructive criticism or actually take the time to listen to what his former mates are saying about him, he sits back, arms crossed and in a ‘it’s not me’ mode. He is only listening to the harshest of personal comments about his physical appearance and not seemingly to recognize that he himself may be responsible for the demise of their former relationship.

I am stunned that with his track record of previous relationships that his current girlfriend actually sees a future with him.

He is so clearly not able to make that sort of long term commitment. What one professes and what one actually does are two very different things in this scenario.

His perception of women is so incredibly shallow. While he is speaking with a former mate, he then goes back to his buddies and cuts up like a teenager when recounting the incident. Did he actually learn anything from these activities? It’s doubtful.

The manner in which he speaks about women in general to his golfing buddies is fairly degrading. The only characteristics that he can point to about his potential mate are physical attributes.

But like I said before, it’s a train-wreck and you just can’t look away.

I feel like anyone who is going to put their relationship under a microscope that is a television camera is just doomed from the start! If his mate’s friends and family watch the show themselves and advise her to make a commitment to him for the same promise in return, they are seriously misguided. I wouldn’t want my sister, best friend, daughter, neice or neighbor aquaintence with a person like that.

I think that he is truly looking for the next best thing, as was said a few times during the show. I would feel bad that his mate is about to make this serious commitment and then when he tires of it or finds another more physically appealing candidate, he’ll just cheat and leave the current one.

Part of me thinks that he must have had everything going for him back in the day, but at this point, he must have used and abused that reputation which leaves him a set of behaviors that no one would want a life commitment from.

I'm glad I'm not alone in how I saw things. I half expected to be blasted for being so judgemental and asked if I dislike Baio so much then why am I watching the show--perhaps that's one of my character flaws.

A couple of more thoughts about Baio--

1. What others think of him is way too important to him. He wants a trophy on his arm to impress other men. This is a sure sign that he is an insecure person. He doesn't know his own worth. He has to be validated from the outside.

2. He has said that he thinks being on TV made it (getting girls) too easy for him and that ruined him. What he doesn't see it that it may have been easy for him to get laid but not easy for him to fall in love and have a meaningful relationship. I'm reminded of that old saying (that I despise), why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free? If all you are wanting from a woman is sex, please do her a favor and don't get married. Baio doesn't want to get married. He just wants to impress his friends. Maybe he senses that people aren't impressed with him playing the field anymore and expect him to settle down. So he is looking to get married to impress others because again what others think of him is way too important.

He's full of excuses as to why he can't commit. I loved when he was talking to Henry Winkler on the phone and told Henry that he couldn't commit because of being on tv and his fame and Henry said, "I was on tv too." And here Henry's been married for years.

He's definitely got to lose Johnny B. When they were in the manager's office, he was downright rude to Clint Howard until he found out he was Ron's brother.
