My Dad the Rock Star is an animated television series created by KISS member Gene Simmons, and produced by Canadian company Nelvana. The show is about Willy Zilla, a 12-year old boy just trying to be normal despite being the son of Rock Zilla, a flamboyant musician. The program airs on Teletoon in Canada, and ran for a short period of time on the Nickelodeon network in the United States. It has since moved to spinoff channel Nicktoons Network, but is no longer airing there.
Being the son of the world famous rock star, Rock Zilla, may sound wonderful for most people, but Willy has a different opinion. All he wants is a normal life and friends who accept him for himself and not because of his parents. When the Zilla family moves to Silent Springs in semi-retirement, Willy sees his chance. However, that normal life will not be easy to find with his wealthy family stirring things up in their own eccentric ways. Regardless, with the help of two newfound true friends, Willy is ready to deal with his unique challenges in a world that is remarkably new to him. Written by Kenneth Chisholm (kchishol@rogers.com)
