See Dad Run is an American sitcom television series that premiered on Nick at Nite on October 6, 2012.[1] It stars Scott Baio, who also serves as an executive producer.[1] On March 17, 2014, Nick at Nite confirmed that season three would be the last season.[2]

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).
