Reviews
Andrew Lyons, MEDIA LIFE: "What worked so well for Scott Baio in those long ago sitcoms works equally well in the new millenium of reality television. His endearing charm and devil-may-care sensibility permeates the whole show and it makes for an entertaining half-hour of mostly light-hearted semi-self-awakening. The show is well-executed and the star is compelling."
Richard Huff, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: "It is an entertaining and emotional half-hour built around the one-time Hollywood hunk's quest to find out why he's still single. While it's fun to watch him struggle, in the end the show creates a sympathetic portrait of a star who has avoided the usual pitfalls of celebrity on the road to bachelorhood. And for a celebrity reality show, that's unusual and why this is worth your time."
Jessie Smith, ASSOCIATED CONTENT TV REVIEW: "This surprisingly entertaining show gives us a glimpse into the life of Scott Baio. If you're not a fan of Baio already, you will be after watching one of the newest installments to VH1's celebreality family."
Ginia Bellafante, NEW YORK TIMES: "The VH1 network's series SCOTT BAIO IS 45 AND SINGLE certainly deserves a place in the annals of very good reality television."
Rick Ellis, ALL YOUR TV: "It is a charming often funny show, much more restrained and tasteful than the typical VH1 reality series. The idea sounds a bit cheesy but thanks to Scott Baio's charm, it's actually an entertaining and sometimes sweet show. Besides the entertainment value, it is also a reminder that Baio is a talented guy who deserves better roles than he's gotten in recent years."
Linda Stasi, NEW YORK POST: "The redeeming thing here is Scott Baio himself. Still quite handsome and charming (and residually rich!), he comes across as a terrific guy. It's no wonder he got so many hot women. Who can resist a nice bad boy with a big cigar?"
TV Envy, TELEVISION GEARLIFE: "Scott Baio, whose career has been in the dumps for quite a while, has carved himself a nice little comeback with this reality show gem. Talk about guilty pleasure."
