Who created the 2000 animated television series My Dad the Rock Star?

Gene Simmons created the 2000 animated television series My Dad the Rock Star.

The series follows William, a boy whose father is a flamboyant rock musician known as Rock Zilla. William tries to fit in at school while coping with the attention and embarrassment caused by his famous father’s lifestyle.

Simmons, a founding member of the rock band Kiss, drew on the idea of a child living in the shadow of a larger-than-life musical parent. The show was produced for the Canadian network Teletoon and later aired in other markets, including the United States.

The title can make viewers assume that the series is autobiographical or that Simmons voices the father. The key fact is narrower: Simmons is credited as the creator. The fictional Rock Zilla is a character within the show, not Simmons himself.
