Although David (Baio) has spent the last decade playing the perfect dad on TV it seems that he's forgotten how to be a dad in the real world as he finds himself cast in his most challenging role to date, handling life at home with three kids who aren't used to him being in charge. Teenage daughter Emily (Ryan Newman,
Zeke and Luther) keeps her out-of-touch dad on his toes, as he becomes acquainted with the complicated world of a teenage girl. Rounding out the cast are Bailey Michelle Brown as Janie, David's youngest daughter and Jackson Brundage (
One Tree Hill) as his son, Joe.
In the series premiere “See Dad Run Home,” it's David's first day as a stay-at-home-parent and his role as a TV dad hasn't quite prepared him for the demands of his family.
