When Memes Collide: Shatner, Twitter To Come Together In Prime Time


CBS has picked up the sitcom based on the "ha ha crusty old guys are hilarious" Twitter known as Shit My Dad Says. The show will need to have its name changed to avoid the wrath of the FCC, though, and it would appear that it's now called… Shat My Dad Says. Because it stars William Shatner as the ever-quipping father! Do you see? No? Well, something tells me that not a lot of people will, and that this show will be the TV-show equivalent of Snakes On A Plane unless it somehow lines up a Priceline sponsorship to keep it afloat.

The first episode should be Bill drowning his wife in a pool. Because that shit was high-larious.

Set phasers to stupefy.

Can you evade FCC scrutiny just by using the past tense?

Gah. Your your comment was two minutes paster-tense than mine.

It's ok as long as what you say doesn't make sense.

Complicating matters is the fact that shat is commonly used as the past tense of shit.

This is the second time I've listened to The Scofflaws today. It's been at least a decade since that's happened. Too weird.

I now have Ali Skaba running through my head, for no good reason.

I spent a good portion of my morning looking for a video of The Rudiments doing Wailing Paddle, but all I could find was Big D & The Kids Table covering it. Sometimes the internet is a disappointment.

How did you not post the Shatner version of "Common People" AKA The Only Song That Matters???

because it is an ABOMINATION.

also the guy who i had a crush on from 9th-10th grade was never in shatner's backing band!

I see your ABOMINATION and retort JOE JACKSON.

In Episode II, Shat gets a diary.

Well, that's just nonsense. Could it be "Shat, My Dad, Says…"?

(Precedent for ellipsis in a sitcom title provided by "It's Like, You Know…".)
