Unusually Thicke is a Canadian-American mockumentary television series, which premiered in 2014. Billed as a "reality-sitcom hybrid", the series uses a reality television format to present a fictionalized portrayal of the family life of actor Alan Thicke.[1]
The core cast consists of Thicke, his wife Tanya Callau and his teenage son Carter. His adult sons, businessman Brennan Thicke and pop singer Robin Thicke, make some appearances but are not full-time cast members.[2] Guest performers in the series have included Bob Saget, David Hasselhoff, Wayne Gretzky, John Stamos and Bill Maher.[2]
Produced by Canadian firm Peacock Alley Entertainment, the series airs on Pop in the United States[1] and Slice in Canada.[2]
In June 2014, after the series completed its first season run, its renewal for a second season was announced.[2] The series garnered a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Reality/Competition Program or Series at the 3rd Canadian Screen Awards.[3] The second season was titled Unusually Thicke: Under Construction and moved to HGTV Canada, as it centres on Thicke and his family doing a renovation project on their home.[4]
