Would the above clips from the barreling-down-the-pike CBS comedy Bleep My Dad Says — based on the Shit My Dad Says Twitter account — be funnier if they were without a laugh track? Or if they were uttered by someone a little less self-aware than William "Priceline Negotiator Slash Ben Folds Collaborator" Shatner? Or without the protestations that this show, despite its salty title, has, you know, heart and is relatable and above all is actually a depiction of a man who's totally free (but not allowed to swear as much as he does on the Internet)? I'm going to guess "probably not." Yeah. [Via]

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.
