Alan Thicke, one of Hollywood's most famous TV dads, stars in Unusually Thicke (2014), an original reality sitcom. Not even seven seasons as "Dr. Jason Seaver" on Growing Pains (1985) could prepare Alan Thicke to be the patriarch of his own real-life modern family. Between his beautiful, spicy and much-younger wife Tanya Callau, and his dry-witted, often opinionated teen son Carter Thicke, Alan has his work cut out for him - in a series that follows the daily drama and humor that happens in their everyday lives.

Robin Thicke might hate these blurred lines, but his father sure doesn't. (Not like that!) Alan Thicke, the erstwhile patriarch Jason Seaver on Growing Pains, returns to TV on Wednesday on Unusually Thicke (10/9c, TVGN), his reality-sitcom hybrid that's real, but not really. The series follows Thicke, 67, and his self-professed modern family, 16-year-old son Carter from his second marriage, and his third wife Tanya, who is 28 years his junior. It's authentic in that every interaction and piece of dialogue on the show is unscripted, but not totally legit in that they semi-stage the situations the trio finds themselves in. The most loathed TV characters "It's real with a nudge and a wink," Thicke tells TVGuide.com. "It's part-reality, part-sitcom.
