Run - Season 1 - See Dad
See Dad Run Logline: After a decade as America’s favorite TV dad, actor David Hobbs finds his real-life parenting skills are up for cancellation when his soap-star wife returns to work, leaving him to manage three kids, a chaotic house, and his own oversized ego.
Emily gets the lead in the school play (a serious drama). David tries to help with lines, over-directs, and almost ruins it. She locks herself in the bathroom. He apologizes through the door: “I spent 10 years pretending to be a father. I have no idea what I’m doing. But I love you. And I’m not leaving.” She comes out. They rehearse—as equals. The play is a hit. He cries in the audience. So does Joe. See Dad Run - Season 1
Amy’s return is delayed by two weeks. David hits burnout. He forgets a school pickup (Megan walked home—three miles—and thought it was an “adventure”). He serves cereal for dinner seven nights in a row. Emily yells, “You’re not a funny disaster, Dad—you’re just a disaster!” He nearly calls Amy to beg her to come home. Instead, Joe sits him down: “You’re not acting. This is real. So stop trying to be perfect. Just be present.” See Dad Run Logline: After a decade as
“He played a perfect father. Now he’s learning the role for real.” She locks herself in the bathroom
David’s former TV wife, Candace (a bubbly, vapid actress), shows up to film a cameo in town. She flirts outrageously. The kids panic. Emily rigs the house with baby monitors to “protect the family brand.” Candace tries to kiss David; he pulls back, saying, “I was only a good TV dad because Amy taught me how to be a real one.” Candace leaves. Amy, watching on a nanny cam (installed by Joe), smiles for the first time all season.
