Brooke wants to go out on a date with a 22 year-old guy, but when Hulk gets wind of it, he really does not want it to happen. After "discussing" things with Brooke and Linda, Terry reluctantly allows Brooke to go on the date, but only after meeting the 22-year-old, Adam. Despite allowing Brooke to go on the date, Terry unleashes his inner-Hulk when he places a GPS tracking device on Brooke's truck, so he, and son Nick, can track where the car is at all times.moreless

"Good"

By jchamberlin, Jul 24, 2005

We all remember Hulk Hogan from his wrestling days, and it's good to see him doing something else, trying to get his daughter's singing career going, but that's now what the first episode is about.

This episode centers around Hulk's daughter, Brooke wants to go out with a 22 year old. He's oviously got some reservations about letting her go with him to Busch Gardens. He eventually decides to allow her to go, but they must take Hulk's truck, which he's had a GPS tracking device installed so he can keep an eye on where they are. Brooke and her date aren't aware of the GPS tracker, of course, and when they aren't following the roads they should be, Hulk decides to give 'em a call and find out what's up. They're just going to get something to eat.

The funniest part of this episode had to be when Hulk's son, Nick, decides to "stir the pot" a bit, by telling his mom and dad that Brooke's date had nipple rings and whatnot.moreless

I thought this would be a show that aired for two weeks and then got the boot, but it was awesome! I really got into it! I'm gonna watch it all the time now! It suprises me that Brooke is only 16, and Nick is only 14. I would have thought add three years to each of there ages! I love this show!

"Great"

By sunilnc, Jul 18, 2005

Thought this was gonna be \"crap\", but turned out to be quite funny. Nothing brilliant but not bad either. No bad acting in this so thats a plus side. Overall show seems to be funny, and hopefully the forthcoming episodes will also live up to the trend set by the first episode.

Oh and brooke is hot!

"Superb"

By Radagast23, Jul 12, 2005

A reality tv show with a former wrestler and his family...I know it sounds horrible but it was actually pretty funny. Hulk Hogan is one of the most well known wrestlers ever, and I know that doesn\'t say much. He is an overprotective father and the first episode shows this as his 16 year old daughter, Brooke, goes out on a date. There are many funny parts as Terry scares the crap out of Brooke\'s date, Adam. Terry and Nick go to a contractor to place a tracking device in his car, so he can tell where Brooke and Adam are on their dat. Overall this show looks like it will be amusing and worth watching.moreless

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Linda asks her husband if he wants Brooke to "stay up in her room like Rupunzel." She is referring to the classic fairy tale Rupunzel, where a girl was locked in a tall tower. In the end of the story, she is rescued by a prince who climbs up Rapunzel's long locks of hair. It could be said that Adam is Brooke's handsome prince.
