My Dad the Rock Star

- Season 1

(2003)

After years on the road, Willy and the rest of the Zilla clan arrive in their new, adopted hometown of Silent Springs. Hoping to be accepted for who he is, rather than for being the son of a famous rock star, Willy hides his identity from his classmates?with comically complicated results.

Still adjusting to life in the weird and wonderful Zilla mansion, Willy awakens one night to the wails of a ghost somewhere deep in the house.

Willy is just beginning to develop his talents in the brass section of the school band, when Principal Malfactor shuts down the Music Program, to divert money to buy the Football team new equipment. When Rock finds out, he offers to fund the Music Program himself, on one condition... that he teach the music class!

When Crystal opens a Psychic Wellness Centre next to Willy?s school, Willy is in for some ribbing from classmates wanting to tease him over his flakey Mom. But Willy is surprised when his old nemesis ? Buzz ? leaps to his defence.

When Willy spots the angelically beautiful Angela D?Angelo, it?s love at first sight. And the feeling?s mutual, as Angela asks Willy out on a ?pre-date? -- an event, it transpires, that consists of an interrogation at the hands of Angela?s neurotic parents.

Willy decides to experience more of normal life by running for student council. But his rival, Buzz, tries to trip him up by accusing Willy of being incapable of representing the ?common man? because of his privileged background.

Willy?s excited about playing a cool acid jazz number on his trumpet at his school?s talent night. But when Rock finds out, he tries to ?help? by adding over-the-top theatrics to Willy?s show. Then Q and Alissa try to get in on Willy?s act ? with less-than-musical results.

Willy is thrilled when he?s put in charge of organizing the school dance ? that is, until he discovers that Miss Equus intends on running the dance the way its always been run ? with boring music and no atmosphere.

Willy is faced with having to pass a crucial math test that will determine whether he has to go to a ?summer school? self-guided class that has just one other student, his nemesis, Buzz. Just as Willy tries to settle down and study, events conspire against him when Crystal insists on taking the family to psychic fair.

When Willy asks to sign up for a camping trip with Quincy and Alissa, Rock and Crystal decide it would be a great opportunity to spend quality time with their son if they organized a trip for Willy and his pals instead.

When Sally Raptor offers Willy a coveted spot in the ?in crowd?, Willy gets a taste of what it?s like to be extremely popular ? and it rocks! But complications arise when Sally tries to get Willy to abandon his old friends Alissa and Quincy.

Willy finds himself on the verge of being expelled from school after a series of un-fortune events pin him as a disrespectful student who is banning the students together to take over the school.

Due to a government accounting error, the Zilla's find themselves flat broke and with no place to live. Quincy convinces his uptight father, Earl Nesrallah, to let the Zilla's stay in the family garage, but Rock soon has the President of the neighborhood homeowner's association breathing down Mr. Nesrallah's neck. Eventually Rock learns about Mr. Nesrallah's resentment towards him and his extravagant lifestyle - Earl was once an aspiring musician himself, but gave it up to pursue a more stable career in accounting - a choice he has questioned ever since. And to make ...
