''My Dad the Rock Star'' is a Canadian animated television series created by KISS bassist Gene Simmons, and produced by Canadian company Nelvana for the Canadian based channel Teletoon. The show focuses on Willy Zilla, an ordinary timid teen boy just trying to be a normal person despite being the son of a flamboyant, rich, lively celebrity rock star named Rock Zilla. ==Production== Gene Simmons wanted to create a cartoon series with a loud rock star for his kids. The idea of the cartoon started off when Gene's son, Nick in his kindergarten days, brought in a picture of Gene drooling blood and spitting fire for a project of what his parents do, which may have influenced the character of Willy Zilla. Before becoming a series, it became a book called "My Dad the Rock Star: Rebel without a Nose Ring" in 2001. Because Gene loved Nelvana shows, he called them for a cartoon idea. It was originally supposed to be about the band KISS itself but it was later changed to a family of rock-star parents which were based on Gene's family. Rock Zilla is actually a fictionalized version of Gene Simmons himself counting his signature "long-tongue". Willy is based on Gene's son, Nick and Serenity was based on Gene's daughter, Sophie. Crystal was also based on Gene's wife, Shannon Tweed, who being Canadian, helped Gene to get Nelvana to make the show. Gene served as the executive producer and creator while the rest of the production was done in Canada. The series went on hiatus after the episode "Blind Date" until it was announced that the show ended, despite popular ratings, possibly for Gene to continue his music career. Also, there was an unaired episode that showcases Alyssa's true rapping skills, named "Silent Springs' Most Wanted" (which is a reference to the movie Malibu's Most Wanted), but it sadly never got the chance to air. It was never revived in time to air a third season. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「My Dad the Rock Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
