Scott Baio was a likable 70's early 80's actor to watch. He managed to transform his Brooklyn-esquire style into his characters as a teen and was delightful to watch on his TV series shows and the movies he did. But now in midlife, Scott has found the time to reflect and notice that he is not in a committed relationship or married and wants to know why he cannot sustain relationships. He takes us through this journey of self discovery via VH-1 as he sorts this out with all his friends, so-called friends, gal-pals, flings, booty-calls, etc.; and so-called professionals for us to view. And I viewed. I found no sustaining interest and want to wish him the best of luck in the remaining years of his life.
There isn't anything "special" about this show or Scott's life. It's basically 'ho-hum' and in two minutes anyone can figure out why he's alone (and in my unsolicited opinion will venture to guess he'll feel alone for the rest of his life). Scott is human and he's ordinary. It's hard to find someone when you realize mid-life that you're nothing but ordinary and equally harder when you used to be in top Hollywood circles, pictures with Playmates, starlets and the like, and think you should have exactly anything you want, the way you envision it and the way you can manipulate it to be. In watching this, you want to tell Scott his so-called problem would all be over if he watched the movie "Cherry 2000" and lived it in peace. Scott pumped himself up and now he's blaming it on mid-life... but young life, mid-life, old life - it will all be the same life for him. Friends, coaches or not.
Scott allows us to listen to his inner thoughts, his friends, his conquests and his unsureness. Brave, but still not interesting. Thee are shows on Animal Panel that tackle the same thing and are infinitely more educational, entertaining and keeps one's interest. The "hook" of this show is Scott's "life coach". It would be a 'hook' if you felt Scott listened to...or sincerely cared about the advice, you just feel that he doesn't - or he does long enough to keep this show on the air and his publicist writing about all of this. But even before all that, one must believe in a "life-coach" to help anyone and I'm not finding any interest in that either.
Why would one want to watch something like this .... as a series? Psychology paper? To see what happens to young Hollywood ego types when they get old and 22 years old don't know who they are/were? For fun to point out how much better our lives may be than his? To think the best years of your life was when you were a teen or early twenty and after that life is downhill? To see what self-proclaimed "womanizers" do when the cameras find another younger, more well paid male target and put you out to pasture? Could be some or all of that - if so, you'll find this show entertaining and as equally sad. If not, take a pass.
