In the early 2000s, TeleToon introduced a new animated series titled My Dad the Rockstar. The show followed the life of young boy Will, whose father, Rock Zilla, was a world-famous rock star. The show premiered on September 6, 2003, and concluded its run on November 25, 2004.
The story of My Dad the Rockstar revolved around Will's struggle to live a normal life despite his father's fame. He always found himself in awkward situations because he feared being seen as just another son of a famous person. The show portrayed Rock Zilla (voiced by Lawrence Bayne) as a well-meaning but somewhat clueless father who sometimes got caught up in his rock star lifestyle.
Rock Zilla's ex-wife runs a successful fashion company, leaving Will and Rock to live in their luxurious mansion with their eccentric house staff. The staff included Quincy, the butler (voiced by Don Francks), and Crystal, the family's nanny (voiced by Joanne Vannicola). Will's classmates often got a taste of the rock star life when they came over to his house.
One of Will's main challenges was to keep his dad's secret identity a secret while trying to impress his crush, a girl named Angela (voiced by Sarah Gadon). However, it seemed that his dad's celebrity status often got in the way, leaving Will feeling embarrassed.
Another significant character in My Dad the Rockstar was Mosh, Rock's bandmate (voiced by Rob Stefaniuk). Mosh was known for his eccentric and sometimes bizarre behavior, which often landed the band in trouble. He was always getting the band into weird schemes, but his passion for music kept them going.
Aside from its quirky characters, My Dad the Rockstar was known for its catchy soundtrack. The show's intro, which played during each episode, featured the song "Butterfly" by Super Transatlantic. Rock Zilla's music, which he wrote and performed in the show, was also prominent in the series.
The series did well overall during its run on TeleToon. It ran for two seasons and a total of 26 episodes. My Dad the Rockstar appealed to kids and adults alike, with fun storylines, engaging characters, and classic rock music.
While it has been almost two decades since the show's finale episode aired, My Dad the Rockstar remains a fan favorite. Its themes of family, friendship, and self-discovery continue to resonate with audiences of all ages.
My Dad the Rockstar is a series that ran for 2 seasons (39 episodes) between September 1, 2003 and on TeleToon
