If someone were to tell you that Scott Baio is a stay-at-home dad now, you would think that is something that could only happen in the land of make believe on television. Well you are right because that is the premise for his pilot that he is working on for Nick at Nite. According to Nickelodeon the show will be called Daddy’s Home. The potential sitcom (like this won’t get picked up) is about David Hobbs (Baio) America’s Favorite TV Dad for 10 years, who finds himself suddenly at home raising his kids while his soap opera wife gets back into the biz!
Knowing how good Scott was on Charles In Charge as a Manny, I can’t wait to see how the now-real life dad is at playing a stay-at-home father! Seriously who isn’t excited for this show that Nickelodeon better pick up! After all it is their first attempt at a scripted sitcom and we all know how that worked out for their sister station TV Land with Hot In Cleveland. Maybe Chachi can have a Happy Days/Arrested Development reunion with his TV uncle Henry Winkler on the show playing his dad. You know since Winkler is the male Betty White!!!
There is no word on who will be playing his wife, but I am rooting for Nadia Bjorn since Days of our Lives mistakenly let her go. Wouldn’t she be great as his soap star wife?
In honor of this news, here are all of the versions of the Charles In Charge theme song throughout the show’s run! C’mon you have to admit it was one of the best of theme songs ever!!!
