  • Alan Thicke Will Not Air Son’s Separation On Show

    Robin Thicke’s father Alan Thick has a new reality series called Unusually Thicke, which will be aired on TVGN.

    However, Alan explains that Robin’s dirty laundry will not be shared on the show. He said that Robin may check up on him from time-to-time in short cameos, but that is all.

    “You won’t see his drama,” Alan said. “You’ll see a couple of appearances, cameos by Robin checking up on me. Of course, I’m happy to exploit him as much as possible,” he continued with a laugh. “He’s clearly an important part of the family and good enough to participate a little bit.”

    Robin and his wife Paula Patton announced their separation back in February. “We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,” the couple told PEOPLE in a joint statement.

    The couple met when they were teenagers and then married in 2005. The welcomed their first, and only, child Julian Fuego in 2010. Alan said that he hopes Robin and Paula will make the decision that is best for both of them and their son. “I hope whatever they decide to do will make them both happy,” Alan said. “That’s the key thing. You want your kids to be happy. They’re strong, smart and talented people and they’ll make great decisions.”

    Alan explained that his new show, which premiered last night, is not like most sitcoms. “It’s real people in real situations that are happening in our lives but we’re layering it with a sort of sitcom format,” Alan said. “The dialogue is improvised but we know where we’re headed.”

  • Robin Thicke To Appear On Dad’s Reality Show

    Robin Thicke has garnered enough headlines in the past several months to secure him a safe spot in the minds of anyone who’s up on their pop culture; between his racy performance with Miley Cyrus at last year’s MTV VMAs and his split from wife Paula Patton, Thicke has been in the news almost as much as he’s been on the radio. Now, he’ll add reality show appearances to his resume as he supports his family’s endeavors.

    Thicke’s father, actor and former talk show host Alan, will star in a quasi-reality show on TVGN along with his wife and youngest son, and Robin is scheduled to make a couple of appearances. The show is unlike any reality fare we’ve seen, however, in that it will be unscripted but the scenes will be set up.

    “It’s real with a nudge and a wink,” Thicke said. “It’s part-reality, part-sitcom. I never was so presumptuous to think that we’re interesting enough to be followed around with cameras with no plan and have it at all be entertaining. My insecurity about that was, ‘Let’s have a story.’ We tell our stories, but we’ll do it in an embellished kind of way. We’re not scripted, but we are plotted.”

    Thicke and wife Tanya open up on the show about her desire to have a child–and his desire not to have a fourth due to his age–and the difficulties of teaching Carter, Thicke’s 16-year old son from his second marriage, about the right paths to take in life.

    “In real life, Brennan (Thicke’s eldest son) owns a medical marijuana dispensary, a cannabis shop. It’s completely legal. The challenge is the great hypocrisy of how do you support one kid’s business while at the same time telling the other one not to smoke weed? We do a whole episode about that,” he said.

    Thicke recently spoke up about his famous son’s involvement in the show, saying that his personal life won’t be on display in any of the episodes.

    “You won’t see his drama,” Thicke said. “You’ll see a couple of appearances, cameos by Robin checking up on me. Of course, I’m happy to exploit him as much as possible. He’s clearly an important part of the family and good enough to participate a little bit.”

    Unusually Thicke premieres tonight at 10 on TVGN.

  • Robin Thicke and Paula Patton Split Won’t Air on Reality Show

    Robin Thicke’s dad Alan Thicke has a new reality TV series, but one thing that won’t appear on the show is the split between Robin and his wife Paula Patton.

    “You won’t see his drama,” Alan said while promoting Unusually Thicke. The show premieres Wednesday night on TVGN. “You’ll see a couple of appearances, cameos by Robin checking up on me.”

    “Of course, I’m happy to exploit him as much as possible,” he added with a laugh. “He’s clearly an important part of the family and good enough to participate a little bit.”

    It was during this interview with EOnline that Alan Thicke was asked if he thinks his son and daughter-in-law will get back together again.

    “I hope whatever they decide to do will make them both happy. That’s the key thing. You want your kids to be happy. They’re strong, smart and talented people and they’ll make great decisions,” the former Growing Pains star said.

    The elder Thicke talked a bit about Unusually Thicke, explaining that it’s not like your typical reality TV show. He says the cameras didn’t follow his family around 24/7.

    “It’s real people in real situations that are happening in our lives but we’re layering it with a sort of sitcom format,” Alan said. “The dialogue is improvised but we know where we’re headed.”

    A big point of the early story line is that his wife of 9 years–Tanya–wants to have another baby.

    “My wife would love that, but I don’t know at this point in life…I’m not a spring chicken,” Alan said.

    Alan Thicke is 67–28 years older than wife Tanya. The Blurred Lines singer is Alan and Gloria Loring’s son.

    Do you think fans of Unusually Thicke will be disappointed when they learn that Robin Thicke’s impending divorce won’t play itself out on reality TV? Hopefully it won’t deter good ratings for Alan Thicke’s new show.
