THE IAN VENERACION sitcom ''Oh My Dad" on TV5 is a wholesome family sitcom, so we stand corrected when we wrote previously that its premise of Ian being a womanizing father doesn’t augur well for the show.
The show will be produced by Bright Lights of Rep. Albee Benitez, written by Alpha Habon and directed by Jeffrey Jeturian, with Atty. Joji Alonso as supervising producer.
Ian Veneracion is said to be very pleased with his demanding role which is about the challenges of being a father who doesn't have an inkling he had actually sired several kids.
In the story, Ian plays a top and hotshot basketball player who became swellheaded at the peak of his career. But his career took a nosedive when he got involved in a scandal and he never recovered.
He then went to the U.S. and tried other jobs for several years. He later returned to the country and stayed with his dad, played by Ariel Ureta. Their neighbor is Gloria Diaz, with Dimples Romana as her niece. So Ian and Dimples are not a married couple as we earlier wrote.
Ian gets the surprise of his life when a young man, played by award-winning young actor Louise Abuel of “Edward”, showed up claiming that Ian is his dad. After Louise, a girl then comes up to say she’s Ian daughter with a girl from the province, played by Sue Ramirez.
And lastly, another man, played by Macoy Dubs or Auntie Julie, shows up to claim that Ian is also his dad. The inclusion of Macoy Dubs and how Ian gets to accept having a gay son will surely please the LGBT community.
We’re told the show will foster nothing but good family values and love.
