After a decade on television (doing a show of the same name as the actual show's title), actor David Hobbs (Scott Baio) becomes a stay-at-home dad so his soap-opera star wife (Alanna Ubach) can get back in the spotlight, but he quickly realizes that playing a dad on television is much different from the real thing. He has to take care of his three kids, Emily (Ryan Newman), Joe (Jackson Brundage) and Janie (Bailey Michelle Brown) with the help of his best friends, Marcus (Mark Curry) and Kevin (Ramy Youssef).
In June 2014, Nickelodeon released See Dad Run: The Complete First Season as a manufacture on demand (MOD) release through Amazon.com in region 1.[2]
See Dad Run has been met with mixed reviews from critics. On the review aggregator, Metacritic, the first season holds a score of 50 out of 100.[4] David Hinckley from The New York Daily News gave the show 2 out of 5 stars.[5] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave it 4 out of 5 stars.[6] Brian Lowry of Variety says "Baio doesn't do much to elevate the limp material, but he doesn't sink it either."[7]
On October 24, 2011, Nickelodeon greenlit a pilot of the series, then known under its working title Daddy's Home, making it the first original comedy on Nick at Nite.[8] On March 27, 2012, 11 episodes were ordered.[9][10][11]
On December 19, 2012, Nick at Nite renewed the series for a second season.[12]
On October 21, 2013, the series was renewed for a third season.[13]
On March 17, 2014, See Dad Run was canceled with production of the third season ending in May.[14]
See Dad Run aired on NickMom from January 1, 2013 to September 27, 2015, and aired on TeenNick for a short time from 2012 to 2013.
