London, Wednesday 9th April – It's dad vs. the kids in new live-action family comedy See Dad Run, premiering on 6th May at 6:30pm on Nickelodeon. Scott Baio executive produces and stars as David Hobbs, an actor who after ten years of starring as America's favourite TV dad, becomes a stay-at-home father so that his soap-star wife Amy (Alanna Ubach, Meet the Fockers) can return to the limelight. See Dad Run will air Tuesday to Friday at 6:30pm.

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. From getting the kids ready for school to giving his teenage daughter Emily boy advice and making the family dinner, David's first attempt at looking after his children is a complete disaster. In order to redeem himself, David enlists his old TV crew to help him impress his wife, but will she see through his façade?

April 15, 2014 03:47 PM Eastern Daylight Time

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In its first week live, Nickelodeon's brand-new literacy app, Wallykazam!: Letter and Word Magic, skyrocketed to the number-one spot on the educational and kids app lists and the number-two spot on the paid app list on the iTunes App store in the U.S. Inspired by Wallykazam!, the network's latest preschool literacy TV series, the app aims to help kids develop phonemic awareness, letter knowledge and letter-sound associations, and promote excitement about words and learning to read.

The Wallykazam!: Letter and Word Magic app, which was developed by curriculum consultants and tested by kid focus groups, follows Wally, Norville, Bobgoblin, Gina Giant and Libby Light Sprite, in magical and hilarious adventures. Users can play games and learn about the power of letters and words by touching, tapping, flicking and tilting their devices to interact with Wally and his friends. The app features four games, 400 words that teach upper and lowercase letters, and kids are rewarded with words after completing each activity.

Wallykazam!: Letter and Word Magic App Curriculum Includes:

* Letter Recognition and Letter-Sound Correspondence: Users search for missing letters in Wally's forest, but must watch out for troublemaking Bobgoblin;

* Letter Writing: Kids can learn to write letters with Libby Light Sprite by tracing and dragging letters in the night sky. Each time a letter is traced it grows brighter to show progress;

* Rhyming Words and Word Families: Users must build a stone word tower out of rhyming words to help Wally reach the top of Gina Giant's head. As the tower grows higher, Gina giggles causing the tower to tilt, prompting kids to turn their devices to keep up;

* Alliteration: Kids can use the words rewarded from each activity to make Ogre Doug's creatures do a variety of entertaining and silly things, like making Borgelorp big, blue or burp.

About Wallykazam!

Wallykazam! is Nickelodeon's first preschool series that embeds a literacy curriculum into a full-length story, introducing skills such as letter and sound identification, rhyming, vocabulary development and comprehension strategies. Each episode features a new set of magic words that Wally uses to playfully transform the world around him. Celebrity guests featured in season one include Vanessa Bayer (SNL), Weird Al Yankovic, John O'Hurley (Seinfeld), Kate Micucci (The Big Bang Theory) and Alanna Ubach (Nick at Nite's See Dad Run).
