What Parents Need to Know
This review of Scott Baio Is ... was written by Kari Croop
Parents need to know that this adult-targeted reality show -- which tracks the emotional journey of actor Scott Baio -- is better (and somewhat tamer) than many of its "celebreality" siblings. Expect to see some scantily clad women and hear a fair bit of language (though anything stronger than words like "balls" and "crap" is bleeped). The show also raises plenty of mature issues connected to sex, relationships, and parenthood.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the characteristics of healthy relationships, the institution of marriage, and what it means to be fully committed to another person. Do you think the media portrays all of those things accurately? Why or why not? What about parenthood? Do you think TV shows and movies give people a fair idea of what having children entails? Why do you think Baio wanted to make this show? What's in it for him?

Is It Any Good?
The refreshing thing is that, unlike a lot of other reality fare, SCOTT BAIO IS... doesn't have to rely on exploitation or extremes, and that's what makes it such a pleasure to watch. It's been a long time since Baio has starred in his own series, but playing himself is his best role yet.
