Alan Thicke, last in the news when commenting about his son’s scandal with Miley Cyrus, has come forward to address his son Robin Thicke splitting with wife Paula Patton.

“I hope whatever they decide to do will make them both happy,” he said. “That’s the key thing. You want your kids to be happy. They’re strong, smart and talented people and they'll make great decisions.”

Thicke is the subject of a new reality television series on TVGN called “Unusually Thicke.”

He said that the drama between Robin and Paula will not necessarily be part of the show. 

“You won’t see his drama,” Thicke told Entertainment Weekly. "You'll see a couple of appearances, cameos by Robin checking up on me.

“Of course, I’m happy to exploit him as much as possible,” he added with a laugh. “He’s clearly an important part of the family and good enough to participate a little bit.”

The cameras didn’t follow the Thickes around 24/7 like normal reality television shows.

“It’s real people in real situations that are happening in our lives but we’re layering it with a sort of sitcom format,” he said. “The dialogue is improvised but we know where we’re headed.”
