Premise
It’s not easy Being Ian...“Why can’t the world just see things my way?” The series mixes slapstick silliness with the wry humor of everyday family life. Being Ian features the adventures of Ian Kelley, a 12-year-old boy whose grandiose imagination encourages wild schemes of filmic proportions into his everyday life. As the star of the show, Ian is always at the heart of the action, trying to direct the world around him and incite the brilliance of his minds-eye into each situation.
