that crappy station called E!, I watched the biography of scott baio and found out he was added to the show because richie was starting to get to old to be mentored by fonzie and felt that thye needed to add a younger kid to the show.

Also that Joanie Loves chachi was the HIGHEST RATED NEW SHOW In TV History

Now those are the kind of facts that us tv fans are supposed to hear about not where the actor or actress went to highschool-lol

Did you see the closing credits for the Scott Baio Bio? Our own Todd Fuller and SitcomsOnline.com were credited.

No once they got to the Charles and Charge era I had no more interest, just the happy days eras and then I was done-lol

If they wanted a younger person to mentor, they should have brought back Fonzie's nephew, Spike. Not bring in a new person like Chachi.

well garry marshall also said that Fonzie was getting older too and they wanted to bring in someone younger and cool like fonzie-lol

Spike was just like Fonzie, remember? He dressed like him and talked like him. He was also NOT annoying. It would have been great to see Spike grow up and eventually change and mature.

Yeah, Spike's TEENAGE YEARS would have been interested...

Yes they would have. Certainly more interesting than seeing a kid with a 70's haircut and clothes and saying some stupid crap like "Wo wo wo"...

or whatever the hell he said.

I totally agree with you. E! used to air a show called Celebrity Profile and they did an episode on Scott, but they didn't mention any important facts. I only watched 30 minutes of Scott's Bio but I did learn some things about him and HD. When Scott's reality show aired, a lot of people in other boards called him cheap because of the way he handled the wedding preparations,etc. Turns out that Scott's dad managed several businesses and he always told Scott to spend his money wisely and invest it. I don't see nothing wrong with him being frugal. From what I saw on his show, he lives very comfortably and doesn't seem like the kind of guy who has to drive flashy cars and wear really expensive clothing. JMO

Another fact I found interesting was that he said that if he could go back in time, he wouldn't have attempted a singing career.

I thought it was kind of sad as to how his own dad died. Before the news of the baby......that sucks!

You give life, someone takes a life that is very important to you since you were a baby. I definitely understand, Scott. A dad is the most important thing in the world.

Yoli, Yoli, Yoli, you never cease to amaze me with how much you post things that I agree with.

I agree abt Scott being frugal. I don't get the hoopla over having to spend such an enormous amount of money for a wedding, considering you already have a child that was conceived PRIOR to the wedding. Save that money for that huge house that poor Scott needed to buy. I get the feeling Scott didn't want that gigantic mansion and only bought it for his wife to shut her the hell up. I feel sorry for Scott because I really got the feeling she allowed herself to get pregnant so that Scott would be forced to choose to be with her. I mean, it took her getting pregnant before he committed to her. What does that say?

Does Scott still smoke? Judging from the cigar he had on the Biography.....I guess he does smoke still. Well, the only part you see do see Scott smoke a cigarette is in the movie I Love NY.

I don't think Scott smokes cigarettes...just cigars. I remember Renee (his wife) saying in one of the episodes of the second season that when she met Scott he only smoked 2 cigars a day. A lot of people who regularly smoke cigars don't smoke cigarettes because they think they're crap. I know this because my grandpa smokes cigars from time to time, but he has never smoked cigarettes.

I'm not a smoker and I'm not in favor of people picking up the habit or anything...but in a way I think cigars are..well..."safer". Since cigar smokers don't inhale the smoke they are in less risk of having lung diseases such as lung cancer, emphysema, etc...but still at risk of getting oral cancer.

Thanks Irene! I always enjoy reading your posts and I'm happy we agree on what's being discussed.

They could've bought a smaller house. I don't know how many rooms the house has...but I think that it is a bit big for 3 people (well 4 since Renee's older daughter was moving in with them). Still, I don't know if they will have more children, so they might have bought with that in mind.

No, Chachi was a million times better then Spike. I couldn't stand Spike at all. I liked Chachi alot. He had an outgoing personality on the show and even off the show, he fit right in with the characters. I don't care if he was an add-on during the end of the show/the last couple of seasons because Spike was just annoying. We don't need a replica of Fonzie. We needed somebody like Chachi and we got him.
