TORONTO, July 29, 2015 /CNW/ - The Thickes are going
through major changes this fall, both in their personal lives
and at home in a wall-destroying and star-studded new season of the
Canadian original series Unusually Thicke: Under
Construction. While everyone's favourite TV dad,
Canada's own Alan Thicke, coordinates his workload of TV and
film appearances, his wife Tanya is ready to inject some youthful
energy into their home with her list of contemporary
renovations. Premiering with back-to-back episodes
September 3 at 10pm ET/PT on HGTV Canada, Unusually
Thicke: Under Construction follows Alan, Tanya, and son Carter
as they juggle their fascinating daily lives with the challenges of
home improvements.
While Alan keeps busy with everything from serving as a
corporate spokesperson to fulfilling his passion for celebrity golf
tournaments, he must also make time to play his cards wisely
at home as he clashes with Tanya over renovation decisions. From
their bedroom to the backyard, no part of the house is off limits
and Alan leaves no cushion unturned when he orders a germ
inspection that reveals some disturbing news. When the renos become
too much to handle, Alan and Tanya make a temporary escape in a
different kind of home, an RV. Their life on the road is soon cut
short as Tanya receives alarming photos of their ambitious kitchen
renovation gone horribly wrong. Whether he's trying to keep an eye
on Carter with new home security cameras or just trying to keep his
noisy neighbours at bay, Alan proves that even Hollywood stars have everyday problems.
"Canadians loved following Alan and his family in the hit first
season of Unusually Thicke, and with their renovation plans
taking off, HGTV Canada is the perfect home for the
highly-anticipated second season," said Christine Shipton, Senior Vice President and
Chief Creative Officer, Shaw Media. "Unusually Thicke: Under
Construction provides a further glimpse into the captivating
every day lives of Alan, Tanya, and Carter as they not only juggle
renovation priorities, but the growing pains and speed bumps that
every family experiences."
The new season has no shortage of star power as celebrity
guests this season include fellow Canadians Russell Peters, Alex Trebek,
Dave Foley, Jon Dore and Alan's son Robin Thicke, with additional surprises
from the likes of Lance
Bass, Wayne Brady,
Cedric the Entertainer, Gilbert
Gottfried, Cat Cora, Kato
Kaelin, and Lou
Ferrigno.
Unusually Thicke is produced by Peacock Alley
Entertainment in association with HGTV Canada.
