LoveHenryZoey's TV Reviews

I was very excited to see the promo spot for this show, as Scott Baio and I had a very serious, albeit one-sided relationship back in the late 1970’s. I would spend my last few quarters on Tiger Beat Magazine just to get the best photos and posters of Scott for my walls.

The premise of this show, is that Scott Baio, the ladies man, has come to a realization that he is “45 and Single” and wants to figure out “Why” –

He hires a life coach named Doc Ali, who instructs Scott that he must be celibate for the duration of the ‘therapy’ and that he needs to start revisiting his ex lovers, to learn why these relationships never worked out.

Some background info on Scott reveals that he has dated the same girl in different forms for the last 30 years; Pam Anderson, Julie McCullough, Nicolette Sheridan, Nicole Eggert, as well as a slew of Playboy and Penthouse girls. His type, he says is “Blonde, about 5’6”…. Nice rack…..good sense of humor” –

After seeing him with a few of these ex girlfriends, one wonders how thick Scott’s skull really is. He treated every woman he ever dated as if she were a carton of milk with a rapidly approaching expiration date stamped on her perfectly round rump. Why on earth would he ‘wonder’ or need to understand why? He’s a cad. But so charming, and such a character.

Now, of course, many people think of him as “Chachi”- which apparently irritates the living hell out of him- You can think of him as a very, very lucky kid, who got a seriously good break. This, unfortunately, shaped his awfully big, blown up head.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying this new “Celeb Reality” show immensely!
I DO have sympathy for his situation. Imagine being Scott Baio. I’m 40 myself, so I remember the first time this adorably handsome boy appeared on Happy Days, as Fonzie’s cousin, Chachi. He was INSTANTLY a phenomenon. He was one of the biggest and most popular teen stars of the 1970’s.

He parlayed that fame into another generation of fans, as the title character in “Charles In Charge” – and became a heartthrob for the 80’s as well!

He was hot alright. So hot that he jumped from girl to girl to girl, with no remorse, and seemingly, without much feeling.

Never once does he admit to being madly in love with any of these former flames. He doesn’t even admit to being ‘in love’ with his current girl of 18 months, Renee. He says he is ‘thinking about marriage’ – but you can kinda see in his eyes that he doesn’t really have the capacity to love anyone. His criteria are silly. He seems to think that a ‘perfect woman’ is actually out there. But until he dons a bra on his head a la “Weird Science” he will be [profane] out of luck.

As one friend says, “I remember you looking in the Playboy magazine and picking out women like it was a Sears Catalog. And then “Poof” they’d just show up at your house!”

Scott also has a ‘crew’ of loser guys that he hangs out with. They are interesting. One is a real dorky sorta guy, that seems like a real cheeseball. Another is Jason Hervey, who was the annoying brother on “Wonder Years” – Jason is married and has kids, but plays golf and smokes cigars with this motley crew, revealing mostly that this is his ‘guy time’ and seems to be the most level headed of the bunch.

The last friend is Johnny V. This guy is a major leech-type loser, who gloms off of Scott’s fame, and takes his leftover girls. He admits that he doesn’t want Scott to settle down, because it would mean the end of the line for the [profane] train.

All in all, you feel sorry for Scott, because he isn’t a great actor, he’s just a TV personality. He had a few good breaks, and while he’s still adorable, he’s old now. Its just sad to see him so ‘heartless’ and so cold on the inside. That still at 45 he is concerned that the woman in his life be a specific height and weight, and possess a particular breast size, eye color, hair color, and be especially good looking- is just sad.

I’m really rooting for him. I hope he develops a real personality, and I hope he lets some blood flow to his heart, and not so much his penis.

What an embarassment to his wife and beautiful family. A man does not know what it is like for his wife to deal with 'everything else' all day, while they are at work. All they have to do it go to work, and come home. Usually, to a hot dinner, and there's coffee ready when they wake up. Magically their clothes are clean, and the dishes are washed, and the kids are fed and go to the dr., and go to activities, and the dumb husband complains, like this Mike James jerk. If I was Jo, I would have spit in his face and told him to go to hell, but he didn't rattle her, and he tried to be an intimidating black man, a jerk, in other words. Aggressive, jerk. I couldn't stand to be near that guy for five minutes. What a selfish, spoiled and TYPICAL pro sports personality. Sickening. Poor Jo.

This is just, uh.....nine kinds of wrong.....unless of course you're into daddy sex. I mean, real, daddy daughter sex. Cause no Father should be dancing all sexy with their daughters. It's SO WRONG. What's next? Your mama don't do it? Isn't this the premise of most sexual abuse from fathers? The mother is physically or emotionally unavailable, so the daughter is a substitute. Yikes. YIKES! This show is CREEEEEPY!!!! It gives me the willies. Totally gross, horrible, nasty and just so wrong, in so many ways....

Not that it means anything....because win or lose, David Cook will be a success. He has real talent, and not just for singing. His ideas, his arrangements, his vision, his personality, charm and confidence. He is the winner, clearly.

Little Archie will never ever make it in this big wide world. He is a minute shy of hiding under his bed....he faltered quite a bit last night, and while he has a lovely and full voice, his personality will not hold up the talent. As well, his voice will not make it in todays market. Look at Clay Aiken....exactly.

Brooke White, ugh. She has only moderate talent, and does not stand out. I am certain she will be gone shortly, and soon will be forgotten....booorrring!

Jason Castro. Now, I am not sure why people either love him or hate him, but personally, I love him. People keep commenting that he has no talent, etc., however, I feel that these people have their heads up their butts. -- Hasn't anyone ever heard of Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Jason Mraz---??? Jason Castro has all he needs to become a success- indeed, the teenage girls included!!! They can make or break a singer! You may hate that, but it's the truth.

Syesha- she is like filler. She will be gone soon enough. As if she could even hold a candle to last years LaKisha and Melinda - please. Honestly. She is VERY pretty, and has a pleasant voice, but she isn't a star. No way. She cannot compare to any of todays artists, or yesterdays for that matter. Forget it.

So, in a nutshell, congratulations David Cook, you are a multi talented, sweet, kind, good person, and you're adorable, the girls love you, and the boys will want to be like you. You have talent, you've worked hard all your life to be a star, and you deserve all of the success you will have.

And Paula, my poor sweet Paula....she must have suffered a head injury when she tripped over her chihuahua......

Come on now. We all know why she was chosen. For the Latina community.... Give me a BREAK. As if the Bi-lingual crap in this country wasn't overboard enough. My grandparents came here from Italy in 1939 and didn't speak a WORD of English. And guess what, they had to figure it out. AND made a life for themselves without the Para Espanol press numero dos bull crap. It SICKENS me the way this country condescends to Latinos. Can't they learn English? Jaslene can't speak English, she is as dumb as a rock and butt ugly skinny nasty irritating with a nasty voice and a skinny long head.
I GUARANTEEEEE You that Jaslene has been in America WAY LONGER than Natasha, and Natasha speaks better than her. HOW on earth could they have chosen Jaslene. NO personality, NOTHING special about her. So what she spoke Spanish in her Cover Girl commercial, that's because she CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH!!!!! She won't be anything special anyway.
Someone with Natasha's personality is what would make a Supermodel and TYRA should KNOW THAT! How sickeningly sad that Jaslene was chosen for her Spanish ness, and not for any other reason. Pathetic.
By the way, Rene did look like she was about 30. You can't say that she didn't.
