He's back in charge!

SCOTT BAIO has signed on for a new VH1 reality show, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The untitled series is a where-are-they-now look at male teen idols of the '80s and '90s. Baio will executive-produce and appear in the new show, which is set to premiere at the end of 2009.

Former child stars JASON HERVEY ("The Wonder Years") and game show host J.D. ROTH will also appear on the show in some capacity.

"The idea of gathering the biggest heartthrobs of a generation under one roof to look at their fame is a fascinating opportunity, especially considering the fact that our producers have actually lived and are still living that journey," VH1 executive vice president production and programming JEFF OLDE told the Reporter.
