Hold on to your panties, Gen X ladies…

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Television legend Scott Baio, who, remarkably, has never even been nominated for an Emmy, is ready to make his return to the small screen.

Probably hoping that “SuperBabies: Baby Geniuses 2″ won’t have to be his most recent credit for long, Baio is circling an untitled NBC comedy about a fourtysomething guy (yes, Scott Baio is 43), who moves in with a twentysomething friend and turns his life around.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jace Richdale (”The Simpsons”) is on board to executive produce the pilot, which has been given a script commitment at NBC. Then again, a script commitment to Baio doesn’t mean much. His last series, the comedy “Rewind,” got a series order from FOX, but never aired.

Depending on your age, Baio is probably best known as Charles “Chachi” Arcola from “Happy Days” and its seminal spin-off “Joanie Loves Chachi” or as the Charles who was in charge in the comedy “Charles in Charge.” He was also Dr. Jack Stewart on several seasons of “Diagnosis Murder” and the title character in the 1976 classic “Bugsy Malone.”

Chachi…is 43? Charles In Charge…is 43? Let’s all just hope and pray he has cut his hair since his heyday.
