This is probably the first animated series where the characters change clothes every once in a while. The title character is the daughter of a single mom – – her friend Ian has a single dad. I smell an upcoming episode.
Here’s Nickelodeon’s take on Ian and his dad:
Ian Richton has a short attention span and a penchant for European styling products. Always coifed yet hard to engage, Ian’s privileged upbringing makes him difficult to impress. Raised by his single and devilishly handsome father, Ian was taught at a young age to smile at the ladies — but is probably not the sharpest pencil in the box. What he does understand he understands fully, like the unstoppable power of musk-scented cologne. Ian is a natural athelete.
A blast of the Jed Clampett Memorial Shotgun to salute Meghan G. for the tip on Ian. Thanks, Meggie!
