Scott was a guest on Regis & Kelly and stated that he was going to do this (film show) annually. What? He’s going to attempt to be celibate on an annual basis and continue to broadcast his lifestyle through a series of staged vignettes? And what happens to his significant other/child during these 8 weeks of filming? If that’s the case, I hope Renee runs away as quick as she can! Interesting that nearly any and every other celebrity couple who has attempted a scripted reality or reality show has split: Jessica/Nick; Carmen/Dave; Brittney/Kevin; and Danny/Gretchen. You just want to shake these people and ask them to keep their private lives…well private. Then again, I’m watching some of these train wreck shoes, so it doesn’t keep me away from them LOL!

After watching Brett Michael's Rock of Love show, Scott Baio's show is just boring.

I don't get this show. Is Scott Baio trying for a comeback of some sorts? If he does this show, does he think putting himself back in the public's eye will make him popular again? What the heck has he been doing the last few years? And FWIW, I think he's a totally unlikable person. The life coach thing, if real, is commendable. But all the rest? The fake apologies? The meeting the older couple? The matchmaker? WTH? And Johnny V. What a piece of work.

Ok -- I saw the first one b/c it was a freebie on Itunes. Of course, it piqued my curiosity but I'm not sure I'm willing to invest more time in it. Is there anyone who's watched all the episodes and could give highlights (or is there a highlight place online)? TIA

I think he said it all when he said, "I don't like people." Hey, dude, it shows. What a snoozefest.

I like Scott. I think he IS sincere and is just embarrassed by his life so he comes off as smug. Johnny V is an @$&. I totally get teasing a friend and even screwing with them a bit. But trying to force Scott to break his word and not only cheat on the contract but on Renee... that's low. I think maybe Scott will have gotten rid of Johnny V by the end of the show.

I guess the only thing more pitiful than Scott's circumstances is the way that Johnny acts. If Johnny is really being HIMSELF, than what kind of life does he have? Pretty shallow as far as I can tell. Without Scott, is he anything? I see on the closing credits that Johnny is a supervising producer. To me, I think that means he is responsible for setting up some of the scenarios. Any way you look at it, this continues to be a pathetic show, showcasing a few pathetic lives and many pathetic life choices.

Madison, I think Johnny V being a "supervising producer" just means "badgered Scott enough so that he gave in and gave him a job in which he doesn't actually do anything, just gets to yell at people and get a paycheck".

And how dumb/desperate is Scott to actually pay him? LOL!

He probably feels like he owes him for something, something that probably happened when they were 20 and JV won't let him live it down.

I don't think I can watch this show anymore. Scott is <el>! He's kind of like the Andrew Dice Clay character but Scott's not playing a character--he's the real Andrew Dice Clay. This show may be a career killer for him.

And I don't understand how he could be dating this girl for 1 1/2 years and just now is meeting her 13 year old daughter? Shouldn't they have met earlier?

17 year old daughter. Who he allowed to be picked up by some scummy guy who could have been 29 for all he knew. And, I've seen that guy before somewhere.

The daughter lives in Tennessee. I can see how, if he didn't travel to visit her, or if she didn't come out to CA, he could've missed meeting her. Or it's possible that she'd come to CA but Scott was gone, or her mom wasn't ready for her to meet Scott. I don't think that's odd at all. I think it would've been more odd if he'd proposed to Rene and hadn't met her.

With Scott's past, maybe she was afraid her daughter might be "competition" for her. (Maybe that's not nice to write...but with this guy's record...who knows!) I only watched the first episode, which was enough for me! However, I've been checking out this thread hoping that there might start to be some redemption as the show progressed. I don't think I've read anything positive from posters here, or TV critics, etc. about Scott or this show.

I don't let anyone meet my kids until I'm sure this is going to be a long term monogamous(sp) relationship. McNumbers has yet to meet my kids and vice versa and we've known each other for well over a year.

Mocha, that's very commendable. A lot of women/men don't think that way, and they don't realize how their children are affected. I have a lot of respect for women/men who don't let their SO stay over, live in, etc. until it's a solid relationship with a future.
