"Shit My Dad Says" --- starring Bill Shatner!!! --- coming to CBS

Will almost certainly be the first television pilot based on a Twitter feed ...

If the show is even 1/3rd as funny as the Twitter feed, I'll watch it.

But it won't be.

Mark my words.

 

Yup. I keep telling my wife I'm going to create a Shit My Wife Says twitter feed. But I won't.

 

"$#$# the Shat Says"

 

Awesome.

 

This is great, but it should be on HBO or FX so it doesn't have to be toned down.

 

Yep, this is how bleak it's gotten on the Hollywood creative front. I'm hearing "Pickle vs. Nickelback 3D" is going to anchor Memorial Day 2011.

 

If that happens, I swear I will erase my Facebook page and will set out on a daily agenda to ban all Facebook groups for ... for ... forever.

 

Book out today.

 

Agreed. Simply by being on a network forces the writers to can at least half of their A-material from the get-go. Put this on a premium channel and you'll get people pissing themselves.

Also, let's say if this was at all possible, can you imagine this show on HBO with George Carlin at his crotchety-ess instead of Shatner?

 

Well, if the show doesn't work out I'm sure Bill can find a way to console himself.

If that's true, it's up there with the best celebrity endorsement deals ever...

Foreman Grills.
50-Cent Vitamin Water deal.
Suzanne Somers Thighmaster

I'm sure there are a couple others, but I know those four would be pretty unlikely spokesman who are hundreds of millions richer as a result.
