SCOTT BAIO RULES THE ROOST IN NICKELODEON'S SEE DAD RUN

Scott Baio Stars in New Family Comedy See Dad Run, Premiering on Tuesday, 6th May at 6:30pm on Nickelodeon

London, Wednesday 9th April – It's dad vs. the kids in new live-action family comedy See Dad Run, premiering on 6th May at 6:30pm on Nickelodeon. Scott Baio executive produces and stars as David Hobbs, an actor who after ten years of starring as America's favourite TV dad, becomes a stay-at-home father so that his soap-star wife Amy (Alanna Ubach, Meet the Fockers) can return to the limelight. See Dad Run will air Tuesday to Friday at 6:30pm.

Although David (Baio) has spent the last decade playing the perfect dad on TV it seems that he's forgotten how to be a dad in the real world as he finds himself cast in his most challenging role to date, handling life at home with three kids who aren't used to him being in charge. Teenage daughter Emily (Ryan Newman, Zeke and Luther) keeps her out-of-touch dad on his toes, as he becomes acquainted with the complicated world of a teenage girl. Rounding out the cast are Bailey Michelle Brown as Janie, David's youngest daughter and Jackson Brundage (One Tree Hill) as his son, Joe.

In the series premiere “See Dad Run Home,” it's David's first day as a stay-at-home-parent and his role as a TV dad hasn't quite prepared him for the demands of his family. From getting the kids ready for school to giving his teenage daughter Emily boy advice and making the family dinner, David's first attempt at looking after his children is a complete disaster. In order to redeem himself, David enlists his old TV crew to help him impress his wife, but will she see through his façade?
