Over the past 25 years, Scott Baio has lived a life that all red-blooded American males' would sell their big screen TV, car and soul for, boasting a jaw-dropping roster of erotic ex's that would even make Warren Beatty blush. This extensive line-up of Hollywood honeys include: Heather Locklear, Pam Anderson, Denise Richards and Nicolette Sheridan.I saw the promo for this recently and I have to say, it sounds like a winner of a show (you know, in that humiliating, sickening, vindictively produced reality TV kind of way). Everyone is sick to death of hearing about single women -- single women most of all -- and even the networks realize it's time to move on and talk about the issues of single men for a while. After all, the ladies ain't doing all of this staying single by themselves.P.S. I'd also be curious to hear what Brooks thinks of country singer Gretchen Wilson's spring-summer hit "One of the Boys," which is both an admission of being exactly the sort of hard-bitten female character Brooks sketches and a revelation that this is really all just a pose that masks the singer's real feelings and desires. Wilson's refrain:But now, staring down the barrel of middle age, Scott has come to the end of his philandering rope. At 45, he finds himself at a mid-life crisis of mythic proportions, wondering why he's still single, alone and still unable to settle down and commit to a substantial, meaningful relationship.
With nowhere else to turn, Scott has decided to fully surrender the next eight weeks of his life to a highly-regarded life-coach. This person will guide him on a grueling, soul-searching mission; forcing him to confront a laundry list of old flames in order to hopefully get to the heart of his lonely heart condition.
Each episode, he will have to confront another chapter from his semi-sordid past, by actually reconnecting with some of his most substantial and combustible flames in order to get the bottom of his bad-boy behavior.
With the help of his long-time pals, Scott will be able to successfully sift through the wreckage of his past, and endure an assortment of life-altering activities, (including abstinence), in order to finally earn the chance at actually maintaining a meaningful, stable, healthy relationship.
And I know I don't act much like a lady / But I still need to be somebody's baby Yeah you might find me makin' too much noise, /But I'm more than just one of the boys / Yeah I'm more than just one of the boys
