Sam and Cat must track down the show's two original creators (played by Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams) and resolve their three decade-long feud. In the premiere of the brand-new "See Dad Run" episode titled "See Dad See Dad Run", David's (Baio) TV dad Bernie (played by Garry Marshall) visits, but the reunion sours when he runs off and leaves his new baby. David must convince Bernie that being a real dad will be his best role. Marshall's son Scott Marshall directs.
