2
3	A reality show on A&E following the life of Music/{{KISS}} bassist Gene Simmons and his family. Similar in format to ''Series/TheOsbournes''.
4	----
5	!!Tropes:
6	* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Shannon, less so (except when she dragged her 21 year old son, Nick, to a strip club on his birthday), but ''Gene'', hoo boy.
7	* BigFancyHouse
8	* BumblingDad
9	* CerebusSyndrome: With Gene's affairs, the 'will-they-or-won't-they' wedding and the later adoption plotline, the began to suffer from this in later seasons.
10	* CoolShades: Gene wear these in public.
11	* CouchGag: One of the most literal examples outside [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons the]] TropeNamer.
12	* DaddyDidntShow: Gene's busy schedule keeps him from attending some important events in his kids' lives.
13	* DaddysGirl: Gene's relationship with Sophie.
14	* DeadpanSnarker: Nick, so very, very much.
15	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Gene. On one occasion he took a cell phone call ''on a DrivingTest''. Shannon, if anything is ''worse''.
16	* DumbBlonde : Tracy. It tends to rub off on Shannon when they're together.
17	-->" Tasers and wine don't mix."
18	* {{Gasshole}}: Sophie has been seen burping on several occasions. In one episode she did so to deliberately gross out a guy she was on a date with, since he was her friend's boyfriend trying to cheat on her.
19	* IDontKnowMortalKombat: One episode guesting Gene's bandmates Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer has the three of them try their hand in ''VideoGame/RockBand'' (specifically, and obviously enough, "Detroit Rock City"). Let's just say it didn't go over as well as it usually does when they're on stage.
20	* HorribleCampingTrip: 'Alpha Male'. It involves a snake, a bear, and a park ranger with a fire extinguisher.
21	* InsistentTerminology: Gene and Shannon are ''not'' married. Shannon is ''not'' Gene's wife. Gene is not the least bit shy of correcting people who make this mistake ''in front of Shannon''.
22	** They are married now, so the Trope will not apply to new episodes
23	* MommasBoy: Gene is a self proclaimed Momma's boy who calls his mother at least once a day.
24	* OverlyLongTongue: Gene Simmons. Nick too. If Sophie inherited it she's not showing it off on television.
25	* RunningGag: People running over stuff in the driveway.
26	* PapaWolf: Gene is ''very'' protective of 15-year-old Sophie.
27	* SkinnyDipping: [[FanServiceExtra A new hot girl friend of Nick's does this in his first week of college to lighten his mood,]] [[AboveTheInfluence Nick can't join her because he has a girlfriend at the time.]] This is also a part of a friend's film class video in the episode where Gene was out filming a spanish commercial.
28	* TurnOutLikeHisFather: Gene is a workaholic rock star. Nick is a workaholic rock star. Nick's girlfriend isn't very happy about that.
29	* UglyGuyHotWife: And to think that they were together for ''twenty-eight years'' before he made it official...
30	* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Sophie even models.
31	** Nick, despite looking like a young version of his father, counts as the Ugly Guy's Hot Son.
