This Sh*t Just Got Interesting…
I wasn’t a fan of CBS turning the always hilarious “Shit My Dad Says” Twitter account into a TV series, but then again, I’m not a fan of taking anything awesome and turning it into crap. I know, I’m alone of this one, but that’s just how I feel.
But them, this:
Twitter sensation “Shit My Dad Says” is becoming a TV pilot with William Shatner set to play the larger-than-life dad at the center of it. The casting of Shatner lifts the contingency on CBS’ multicamera family comedy project based on the Twitter account, which has enlisted more than 1.16 million followers since launching in August and has made its creator, Justin Halpern, an Internet star.Is it wrong I no longer hate this and, in fact, am kind of excited. William Shatner, you are lovable.The pilot, executive produced by “Will & Grace” creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, was originally set up at CBS with a script commitment in November. Now, with Shatner on board, it has been greenlighted to pilot.
