Gene Simmons Family Jewels – About the Show:
Dad is Gene Simmons — the legendary, tongue wagging demon of KISS. Mom is Shannon Tweed — former Playmate of the Year, actress and model. And their kids Nick and Sophie are dealing with the trials and tribulations of adolescence, even though Mom and Dad are truly like no one else’s parents.
Gene and Shannon have been happily UNmarried for over 20 years and have no plans of getting married any time soon. Gene is a multi-millionaire rock star and a multi-media magnate. He is a renowned ladies man – but also the kind of dad who brings Gatorade to his daughter’s soccer games and stands in the front row when his son’s rock band plays gigs. Each episode of GENE SIMMONS FAMILY JEWELS™ reveals another layer of Gene’s private self, a side that he has kept hidden until now, and shows how the most non-traditional, traditional family in America manages to make it all work under the strangest of circumstances.
Funny, loving, often at odds, this is a real life extraordinary family — but one that we can all identify with. The Simmons-Tweed clan continues to prove, yet again, why they are the most non-traditional, traditional family in America.
