Read To Me, Dad: Scott Baio is 46 and a clueless dolt…

He must have run out of money, or he needs more attention. I can't see any sane person agreeing to do a reality series about themselves. He disgusts me as well. I like your blog a lot, and your daughter is adorable. Keep up the good blogging and have a good weekend! I'll be a regular reader!

I had never heard of this show until now. But I have to comment because something here really hits home for me.
I was my parents' first born. My father wanted a boy very badly, and never let me forget it. As if I had any control over this!
My brother was born three years later...my father was happy to have his Almighty Boy. My brother could do no wrong in my father's eyes...he'd come home drunk as young as 15 and got away with it. Meanwhile, I was always severely punished for very minor infractions, such as coming home five minutes past curfew, or getting a B instead of an A on my report card. My brother could get straight F's (often did), but was never punished for it, never encouraged to try to do better.
My brother dropped out of school at age 16 and became a junkie. Tired of the abuse, I moved out at age 18 and haven't looked back.
I just hope that Scott Baio's little girl never has to suffer such abuse at his hands, simply for being born female. I hope he doesn't ignore her, either. He needs to wake up and realize that this is HIS child, too, and he needs to be a real man and take an equal part in parenting.
He's nothing but a has-been loser.

It is unfortunate when things like that happen. Sorry to hear that you had to go through that.

I admit, I liked the SB45&Single- at least the first 4 episodes that I watched (lost track of it after that)... From what I saw, the real trouble seemed to be his cohorts- when he admitted that he was finally ready to settle down and do what was necessary to face his commitment phobias-- most of his friends (particularly the short/balding sleeze who wears multiple plaids) would try to sabotage his efforts. I'm dismayed to hear that SB has managed to get himself into greater responsibility yet with no more maturity on his part... sigh...
Aside from that- I'm digging on your review of Dog Train. And your daughter is adorable!

Thanks for checking out the reviews. Certainly Scott's friends do contribute to his problems but I think it is deeper than that as well. Let's hope he grows up before his daughter arrives.

Boy, howdy - was my "Scott Baio crush" bubble burst when I saw that despicable show! Ugh! The first one, I mean. It's more disappointing to hear that he's going to be a father. Quite sad to be our age and to be so freaking immature - and on national television, no less!
Scott Baio and his 'posse' of despicable and seemingly desperate friends are the worst display of adult immaturity and are an insult to those who really work for these great things in life that he has to 'work through'. He reminds me of the obnoxious neighborhood brat that nobody wants at their home. He whines more than my 5 year old. He is self absorbed and shallow....calling on whoever he can everytime he has a bo-bo and needs a band-aid. His constant complaining about the wonderful things in life makes me want to vomit. There are people that will never experience marraige or a beautiful child and he does not deserve either.

Amen Chris, Amen. Very well said. I couldn't have done it better myself.

If I weren't so dang old - and neither of us were married - I would be begging you to marry me!

I don't like reality tv so I have missed this one. It sounds like I didn't "miss" anything. We have six kids between us, four of them girls. My husband adores his girls as much as his sons. Our youngest daughter, age 2, especially has daddy wrapped around her little finger. She looks at him with those blue eyes and he melts.

Syn, At some point a son would be great but our little girl is certainly Daddy's Little girl and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
