My Dad the Rock Star Episode Rating Graph

After years on the road, Willy and the rest of the Zilla clan arrive in their new, adopted hometown of Silent Springs. Hoping to be accepted for who he is, rather than for being the son of a famous rock star, Willy hides his identity from his classmates…with comically complicated results. The good news is Willy makes a couple of new best friends, Quincy and Alissa. The bad news is, he also comes to the attention of the school bully, Buzz, who forces Willy to ""prove"" himself by stealing a gold record from none other than Rock Zilla. Faking the theft of the gold record by sneaking it out of the house isn't a problem - but getting it out of Buzz's clutches when the bully fails to keep his end of the bargain is another story.

Still adjusting to life in the weird and wonderful Zilla mansion, Willy awakens one night to the wails of a ghost somewhere deep in the house. Willy's fears are cranked up a few notches the next day, when Buzz regales his classmates with a story about how the Zilla mansion is built atop an old graveyard and is haunted by the spirit of the local psychopath. Willy enlists the help of his new pals Alissa and Quincy to search out the ghost. However, instead of finding an evil apparition, they discover the infamous paparazzi, Scoop, skulking about the house taking compromising photos of the Zillas. Willy uses a few tricks of his own to scare Scoop into handing over his film. Rock stumbles past them, yowling with pain with a toothache.

All the students are hyped about the cool new faculty member...except Willy, whose cover is blown by his Dad's presence at school. Meanwhile, when the parents hear that the infamous Rock Zilla is molding their children's impressionable minds they demand his resignation. Before the parents' protest can get too heated, Rock understands that as much as he wants to be a bigger part of Willy's life, he has to give his Son some space. So Dad quits, slyly telling the parents, ""Who needs Music in school anyway? I didn't, and look how well I turned out!"" That's all it takes for the parents to demand that the program be immediately reinstated!

Quincy and Alissa aren't convinced, and try to warn Willy. But Willy's generous nature leads him to forgive Buzz and accept his friendship. Buzz wangles a dinner invite to the Zillas, then mysteriously heads home halfway through dinner. Willy wonders what happened until the next day, when Willy discovers that Buzz used the friendship and dinner invite as a way of getting into Rock's home studio to download a pre-release copy of Rock's new CD, which he has sold to music bootleggers.

Meanwhile, Serenity is infatuated with a certain boy (Angela's older brother) because he's the only guy at school who takes no interest in her whatsoever. Willy arrives at the D'Angelos' house for a ""pre-date"", where he's grilled by Angela's stern, overprotective parents. Sensing they'd have a conniption fit if they knew he was Rock Zilla's son, Willy hides his identity…until the D'Angelos start ridiculing the ""disgusting Rock Zilla"" and his loser wife. Then Willy leaps to his parents' defence and gets himself hustled out the front door. The d'Angelos decide they can't even live in the same town as the Zillas, so they pack up and move away. And the narcissistic Serenity tries to adjust to the knowledge that there's actually one b

Determined to prove Buzz wrong Willy offers to hold a candidates party at his house. Meanwhile, events at the Zilla mansion are even weirder than usual: Mosh is inexplicably depressed, leading Crystal to hire a flakey ""pet psychic"" to go to bizarre lengths to find a ""cure"" for his emotional malaise.

Then Q and Alissa try to get in on Willy's act - with less-than-musical results.
