"Zapped!"

walks like a tool, talks like a tool...doesn't disappoint.

i'm thinking at this point he doesn't need to change one single bit. he needs to remain a dipshit until the day he dies a dipshit death and spare the women of the world his particular brand of dipshittedness. i'm losing compassion here. if that plastic, brain-dead broad from the first show still wants him when this is over, then consider the rest of us spared.

has anyone ever pointed out that washed up greasy brooklynites are a dime a dozen?

Hey McSteeny, K37744...what's up? These recaps are the higlight of my week, which is more than I can say for the show itself. What a self-absorbed a-hole. He's Chachi, for crying out loud! He must promise brain-dead bimbos he'll introduce them to a good agent, because frankly, I can't see why bedding a guy who hasn't worked in years such a conquest. Eewww.

Fat guy/chocolate sauce was my favorite part. Of course, I was eating my Chef Boyardee mini raviolis at the time. Thankfully, they've settled nicely! Willie Ames with the "O" face was priceless, too.

My drinking buddies! Thanks for being so loyal and reading every week. Er, all three weeks. :)

k- Part of me agrees with you and is turned off by his ego and seemingly indifferent attitude, and thinks he DESERVES To be single and loveless, but I can't help but have a glimmer of hope for him to turn into a decent human being... call me an optimist. The brooklyn boy thing is so true though.

Shaz- I used to prefer the beeferoni, but they've since changed the sauce. So now I sincerely believe there isn't a better meal than Chef Boyardee mini raviol (meat filled of course).

Great recap, doc. After reading your pre-cap a few weeks back, I finally steeled myself and watched 2 episodes last night.

Am I a complete cynic, or did the matchmakers obviously just hire a model/actress from a casting agency to go on a TV date with Scott Baio. What great free advertising. You know horny single guy with money is beating down their door. Girls like that don't go to matchmakers.

doc, i hear ya. you're a sucker for a well-drawn cartoon. i admit that i let fred flintstone get away with YEARS of chauvenistic b/s purely cuz i liked the cut of his jib.

i just read scott's imdb bio (i know...don't ask) and it does indeed say renee is now preggers and expecting their first child in dec. well if that don't take the cake. PUH-LEASE let it be a little girl. then he'll have the wrath of some vicious-assed karma come knockin when little chiquita marie baio is old enough to date.

p.s. 2 coreys? SMOLDERING. TRAIN. WRECKAGE. i have so much to say...

p.p.s. my ears are too small.

Doc, your recaps are too hilarious. You top yourself every week - hell you top yourself every paragraph.

I am sad to say I am running out of childhood crushes. First Donny Osmond was an ass, than Christopher Knight was a prick to Adrienne Curry, Robert Urich was mean to me at a conference, now ChaChi is a womanizing man-whore whose only redeeming quality is that he is a fraction less skeevy than Johnny Leftover Tupperware. What next - Matt Dillon is gonna turn out to be a dog kicker?

Tink- To make matters worse, Kirk Cameron's a raving lunatic, Cory Haim went to shit, and River Pheonix is dead.

why is everyone hating on brooklynites?

danny...it's not necessarily about hating on brooklyn. it's more about scott baio having absolutely nothing more to offer the world and brooklyn taking the fall out of my pure laziness to peg it on something else. (henry winkler came in a close second).

i happen to know some perfectly lovely brooklynites, most of whom aren't whiny, dimwitted douchebags who have a doctorate in womanizing and a life-long quest to find the perfect bimbo.

i said most.

I'm another new viewer coerced into watching by the hilarious recaps.

All stage mothers should be forced to watch this- early fame messes with heads. Scott's sense of entitlement and egomania have produced a Not Normal adult. Ok, he's not homeless or strung-out, but he is still screwy. (literally and figuratively.)

Its like he saw Denise Richard's feet and his reaction was "now would the Fonz settle for ugly feet? Well, then Chachi shouldn't have to!"

Whatever. I'd rather hear how he justifies cheating on his "perfect" women and ruining each relationship. This light-hearted "I lost them all because I was too picky re: their flaws! Doh!" is disgusting.

How about your failure to bond with a woman as a human being, a life partner? How about your view of women being "how cool I look for bagging THIS hottie" to the outside world.

And I hate to deflate a great joke, but the ugly sister on Charles in Charge got hot. She popped up on 90210 as a sexpot in the final season. AND she's got the career, not Nicole. (i.e. notice which one had time to cameo/hang out with Scott.)

No way! She totally IS hot. Completely over-took Nicole. Shocking, yet impressive. She should request Charles in Charge reunions every year. Thanks for the follow up Lucy. Well worth the joke deflate.

I think that Willie Ames (aka "Buddy") is doing some type of religious children's show now. Maybe Scott could benefit from that.

I honestly don't get what all those women saw in Scott. I mean he was a good looking kid but way too scrawny. I think he was just trying to prove to everyone that he could get the hot chick.
