“If ‘Growing Pains’ and the ‘Kardashians’ had a love child, it would look like ‘Unusually Thicke,'” Thicke told Yahoo TV, adding: “With Justin Bieber and Rob Ford expanding the horizons of Canadian comedy, we go a step further with the reality of our amusing, challenging lives on ‘Unusually Thicke.'” Well, we know he’s got a sense of humor.” full article here

“UNUSUALLY THICKE combines my two favorite things: family… and laughing at my family,” remarked Alan. “This series is my foray into the ‘reality-ish’ television world where viewers will meet the lovable, unpredictable, and often challenging people who live with the real Jason Seaver. We take our relatable real-life stories and blow them up to amuse and amaze, tossing in a handful of celebrity friends along the way. Please come aboard and enjoy the ride!” full article here
THE NEW YORK OBSERVER
“The show is billed as a “reality sitcom” and Thicke has described the show to Canadian press as being a cross between Larry David and the Kardashians… Also, the show’s title is both a play on Thicke’s last name and the girth of his penis, in case you really needed things spelled out for you today.” full article here
