Hey, I just realized this is my 600th post on the ol' Scampernet. I will mark the occasion by talking about Scott Baio.

Okay, I know that the Bret Michaels Rock of Love show seemed to have the most promise to deliver total and absolute cable television awesomeness. However, I must say that the sleeper show for pure entertainment value is Scott Baio is 45 and Single...

The basic premise is Scott Baio talking to all his old girlfriends about why he never could hold a relationship together. Somehow, the "fake reality TV bad acting" quality of the cast doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the show. It's ridiculously fake and yet somehow completely awesome.

For me, the breakout star of the show is Johnny V, Baio's long time "wingman" who has a vested interest in keeping Baio single so that he can indulge in any spillover groupie ass. It's just tremendous. In the first episode, Johnny V (an early candidate for the 2007 Brooke Hogan "Worst Actor on Reality TV" award) gets in a hilarious passive-aggressive yelling fight with Joanie from Happy Days! The greatest!

Don't get me wrong - the premiere of Rock of Love did not disappoint. Twenty fake-breasted women spent an hour getting drunk and calling each other sluts one minute and then immediately attempting to win Michaels over by rubbing their silicon rib balloons in his face. But not in a slutty way.

Still, I'm getting in on the ground floor of Scott Baio. Mark my words - this show is going to be awesome.

See, I don't know if I could handle an hour a week of Corey Feldman hamming it up for the cameras.

I have Scott Baio's show on my DVR and have already watched it twice. I love Jason Hervey's role in it. Who knew that Charles and Wayne were buds?!

I think the "worst acting" should really go to his girlfriend, who over dinner played it that she didn't seem to understand that he was doing a tv show or doing anything to change his ways.

I'm looking forward the the Coreys as well, but this is a winning show right here.
