Maybe Scott can convince his cousin, Jimmy Baio to do the show! That guy has been MIA for years!

Reality a baby boom
A last resort for yesterdays heart throbs.Nice Scott Baio but do not stop at reality TV it proves a point idols launch on memories and don't try to audition in features as adults
I hope the new vh1 series include Robby Benson and all the 70s idols
Fans know the reality life-Life after oooing and aweing for idols
when will fans get a time slot?

Jack Wagner aka "Frisco Jones" ?!?

Just thought of another one...Brian Bloom - what a cutie!

So how far back are we talking? Scott should consider the following former teen flames:David Cassidy, Jermaine Jackson, Tony DeFranco, Vince Van Patten, Michael Gray, Scott Jacoby, Radames Pera and Butch Patrick just to name a few. How 'bout it?

Love Scott Baio is...single and... pregnant. They were very entertaining because Scott was willing to share his honest feelings with all of America. I found him completely childish and immature at time, but I liked the shows. I will give this show a watch to see if I like it.

Anyone remember Tony DiFranco? Flash in the pan teen heartthrob (and, yah, had his posters on my walls) but I saw him not long ago in a "where are they now" show and OMFG he grew up GOOOOOOOD. Please please please, Scott, put Tony in your show! It will be nice to have eye candy to help counter what other heartthrobs have grown into ;-)

scott baio is an immature jerk - hard to believe he is a husband and father now - kudos to renee for staying with him - could scott really be that much of an assh***

I loved Scott's shows. I'd rather see "Scott Baio is 47 and a Father".

Jennifer Fri, May 9, 2008 at 08:58 AM EST

Jason Bateman, Joey Lawrence, Kirk Cameron...oh, wait, they're all still in the biz.

I'll definitely watch this!

Everyone always has a soft spot for their first crush. Scott Baio was mine, so I watch his show, even though it isn't great. I think this show will get decent ratings because those of us who were teens back then are going to tune in to see the guys we were in love with on TV!

I think Scott's show was one of the real gems of "reality tv." We dont really get good ones and I hope this one is good too.

Rae Thu, May 8, 2008 at 06:10 PM EST

The girls who know these 2 heart throbs are the ones who grew up watching them. We have husbands the same age. Why would we take on their midlife belly-aching as well. Young people won't care because they can't remember them. Idiots. This is so in the toilet.

Michael Thu, May 8, 2008 at 05:57 PM EST

Scott Baio. Jason Hervey. Please take your fake reality and go away. PLEASE!

vw Thu, May 8, 2008 at 04:04 PM EST

i'd definitely watch this.

dan jones Thu, May 8, 2008 at 02:03 PM EST

Jason Hervey was a "heartthrob"? We are talking about the meatheaded older brother from the Wonder Years right?

Elizabeth Thu, May 8, 2008 at 01:32 PM EST

Oh lordy... this may be more depressing than entertaining.

They need to get Mitch's son from Baywatch. That would be great.

Given how amusing the Scott Baio reality shows have been up to now I hope this holds pace. It will be interesting to watch how well some of them can come to grips with the fact that a comeback won't materialize.
