‘Shit My Dad Says’ Twitter Account Spurs CBS Show Starring William Shatner!

Have you heard the latest about William Shatner’s new television show?  No, it’s not a satire action / adventure series based around the Priceline Negotiator.  The latest comedy pilot greenlit by the folks over at CBS is based on a Twitter account — twitter.com/shitmydadsays (Shit My Dad Says).

You heard that right.  Shatner will be starring in a show that is based on the Twitter account of a 29-year-old named Justin, who lives with his 74-year-old father.  Justin updates his Twitter account with quotes from his father – hence the title, “Shit My Dad Says.”

Here are some of his Father’s latest quotes:

“There’s a word for people like that…No, I’m saying, there’s a word and I don’t know what it is. I’m not being fucking poetic.”

“Nah, we don’t celebrate it. Don’t know who St. Valentine was, don’t give a shit, and doubt he wants people screwing in his memory.”

“Don’t mess with him…Trust me, you don’t fuck with a man that sleeps next to a woman he never screws. They’re unpredictable.”

“You can watch the house while I’m gone. Just don’t call me unless something’s on fire, and don’t screw in my bed.”

Justin’s Twitter account currently has 1,173,081 people following it, just a small time since it’s launch in August of 2009.  The pilot will be produced by “Will & Grace” creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick.  Now that William Shatner is on board, the project has been greenlit and a pilot is in the works.  Knowing Shatner and his stellar comedic abilities, the show has a lot of potential to be great.

  • How can they get away with all the foul language of this crap? It would have to be on after the Late Late Early Show in my book certainly not prime time.

  • I just saw the pilot this evening on CBS. It was pathetic seeing William Shatner becoming the 21st Century Euell Gibbons, chowing down on Grape-Nuts (which, incidentally, were still around when The Shat's Star Trek series aired in the 1960s). What's to come in the second episode--The Shat telling his unemployed son that, since he's now living on food stamps, he has to go out to Kroger to buy Nutty Nuggets, the knock-off version of Grape Nuts?

  • William Shatner is hilarious and the idea for the show is great however they need to lose the brothers wife angle, she is so annoying I don't want to watch the show anymore.

    I hope they fix her soon because I love Shatner!!

    Thanks,
