Shatner to Star in 'S**t My Dad Says' Twitter-Inspired TV Show

by Terrence O'Brien on February 22, 2010 at 10:54 AM

Plans to turn the one-liner rich ShitMyDadSays Twitter account into a TV show are moving forward, and creator Justin Halpern has scored a major star for the pilot. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Transformed Man himself, Mr. William Shatner, has signed on to star in the CBS comedy.

With a legitimate TV legend as its star, the creators of 'Will & Grace' its producers, and a script written, the Twitter account-inspired show is ready to begin. Shatner will be the show's antagonizing protagonist, the ornery and foul-mouthed father.

Basing an entire half-hour show on a Twitter page loaded with one-liners leaves us plenty of reason to be skeptical. (The 'Texts From Last Night' show stank of a gimmick.) But we won't lie; we're excited to hear Bill Shatner spit out lines like, "No, I'm not a pessimist. At some point the world shits on everybody. Pretending it ain't shit makes you an idiot, not an optimist." Priceless. [From: The Hollywood Reporter]
