Despite Robin’s hectic schedule they actively maintain a close relationship. “One of the episodes is the day in the life of a rock star, following Robin on an excruciating day with the media, performing and changing outfits, radio, print and TV”, Alan says. Whether you’re a fan of the music or not, a glimpse into the family dynamic of a pop idol, a television icon and a beauty queen step mother does have the potential for interesting television. “I am really just a fly on the wall watching Robin’s success. The most important thing though is that he is staying grounded and taking his success in stride”. Being grounded is what gives the Thicke family their uniquely affable sense of humour. Despite all of their collective success, their ability to laugh at themselves and each other makes “Unusually Thicke” a mildly enjoyable lark on a Wednesday night. By no means should you change any important plans to watch, but if time permits, tune in and you may just crack a smile. After all, it is reality TV, but at least it’s fake reality TV. Watch “Unusually Thicke” every Wednesday at 10pm on Slice Television.
