Recap: Scott Baio is 45...and Single: I believe the children are our future - 
by Dr. McSteeny
Eventually, Renee's daughter arrives and Scott is floored by how big she is. News flash Scott: 17-year-old girls have boobs and stuff. Scott and Renee's daughter go shopping and Renee's daughter gets hit on by a somewhat cute but very playerish guy. Scott says the kid reminded him a lot of himself when Scott was 17. Funny, the kid reminded me of a 17 year old who wants to be on TV.
Scott intervenes in the American Eagle lovefest, at which point the kid starts trash-talking Scott with phrases like, "hey aren't you Charles in Charge?" and "Keep an eye out, you can learn a thing or two from me." This kid just can't wait to tell his friends about his trip to the mall and that he's going to be on TV talking shit to Scott Baio. And I love every minute of it. It's like karma from the picking on 3 year olds thing. The only thing that would have been better is if Scott started talking trash back, they scuffled a little, the kid got Scott to the ground and then Buddy Lembeck came in out of nowhere and kicked the kid in the face, Casey Affleck in the Good Will Hunting Playground Brawl Style. It would be like a karmatic circle. A girl can dream.
The show ends with Renee's daughter finally firing away the questions her mother so clearly prepped her with before meeting Scott: "Have you cheated?" "Did you feel bad?" "Do you respect women?" Scott answers the questions pretty calmly and honestly for the most part, until she gets to the question "Will you marry my mother?" That's when Scott gives a stuttering, "uuuuh, wait, hold on, I have to look at my phone for a second." Translation: I have to focus on anything but you and your question right now. Apparently Scott hasn't gotten to chapter 23 of the Womanizing Handbook: "How to lie without stuttering." Any girl who's read a book on dating in the past decade would be very worried by this Porky Pig answer.
He's Just Not That Into You(r Mom)
As far as I know, Scott doesn't give a clear-cut answer to this marriage question. Maybe because he doesn't have one, or maybe because he's afraid his show will lose ratings if everyone knows half way through the show whether or not he gets married. Or maybe he just thinks if he ignores the question, that when Renee calls her daughter for the answers tomorrow, her daughter will forget that she asked the question and got no answer. Sorry Scott, kids aren't THAT much like drunk people. They remember things in the morning.
Guess we'll just have to keep watching to get the answer to that question. Or just look online. Whichever.

Loved the recap Doc especially the Whitney Houston photo and references.
Sorry to hear that Manuel is still not speaking to you. Maybe if you send him a toaster oven he'll forgive you?

DR, you floor me! I can't list all the things that made me laugh till my coffee regurged, but I think the analogy of three year olds being like drunk people was the topper...that and the AWKWARD picture. Classic McSteeny!!
I'm still wondering how women like the Hooty McBoob Penthouse chick willingly entered a relationship with this guy. After 'Charles in Charge', he had a few guest appearances on shows like 'My Two Dads' and 'Diagnosis Murder'. He certainly wasn't the next Brad Pitt, and Erin Moran claims he's got a small pecker, so how in the blue hell did he get all these women?!???? The world may never know...
Where's our girl K???

"You didn't nail your soon-to-be daughter-in-law."
Not to be nitpicky, but wouldn't she be his soon-to-be stepdaughter?

Shazzy!!! Merci! Wondering where K is myself.
Rock Star, you are of course correct. I'm a boob. That's why one should never rush to get their recaps out...leads to family tree confusion. Now if only I knew how to edit and republish...
