THR reports that William Shatner has signed on to star in the TV series adaptation of the popular Twitter account, ShitMyDadSays. The account was started by Justin Halpern who had moved back in with his parents and then tweeted the colorful and profane statements made by his 73-year-old father. I’ve read the feed but don’t find it funny. It’s an old guy cursing. It’s not even clever cursing or offensive observations.
But THR classifies the father as “larger-than-life” and Shatner has always been adept at playing those kinds of characters. With Shatner now attached, CBS has given the greenlight to a pilot. I still think this show is an awful idea, especially since A) it’s CBS so the cursing part is out already, and B) as much as I love How I Met Your Mother, CBS refuses to let its sitcoms give up the laugh track so essentially it sounds like they’re doing a shitty, half-assed remake of All in the Family.

Lol that's awful, how about a Fuck my Life tv series lead by Michael Winslow?
Seriously, twitter is the dumbest thing to ever have spawned from the internet revolution. I don't know why people find it so awesome, I mean its essentially a site for people who want to post little snippets of 140 characters or less. Why don't these people just use the Myspace “what are you doing now,” widget? or the one for Facebook or any other more encompassing social networking site that also includes the same crap twitter has.
Seriously, no idea where twitter came from and I will never make a twitter account, dumbest idea ever.
Also, this show is even more stupid. How do you make a TV show based off of small snippets of cuss words? Especially since you can't even use cuss words on cable television, ultimate fail. They might as well have said they are making yet another sitcom like Everybody Loves Raymond, only this one we're saying is based off of a Twitter account to get people to watch it because it has something to do with precious “tweeter”.
Another sign of cable televisions ultimate fail. I'm not sure if I should be more depressed that Cable Networks are so inept that they can't create a half-decent television series, or that mass America actually buys into this shit. Whoever said that Americans are smart and should be treated as such was sorely misinformed. I think shows like Jersey Shore, The Real World and the countless other fail television shows out there are a testament to that fact.
