I was channel surfing the other night when I came across “Scott Baio: 45 & single” on VH1. I’m not too big a fan of the so-called reality shows but at least “Celebrity Fit Club”, “Dancing with the Stars”, etc. have a clear objective other than just watching someone go about his/her daily life. “The Osbournes” worked because they were the first yet it is now overdone.
I’ve never disliked the man, Scott Baio, and I’ve enjoyed the television characters he has portrayed but I don’t care what he does in his off time. I don’t wish anyone ill will and I’d like everyone to be happy yet I’d rather live my own life than watch his and the others who have similar shows go about their daily routines.
Many, Scott Baio included, have complained about the very roles that made them popular instead of appreciating the opportunities they’ve gained due to their early work; especially when it’s obvious that they still crave attention. My point is that I’d like to see these people in movies, as television characters, recording music, etc. but these ‘silly, look-at-me, see how special I am’ so-called reality shows do not interest me. He should have just set up a “My Space” page as have the other publicity seeking people.
