Well, I would have sold out too, he found a way to turn internet dollars into actually valuable currency. 

It DAMN well better keep the name "Shit My Dad Says"...because seeing that in my Channel Guide would bring a tear to Carlin's cheek. 

Oh boy, the Shatner's really hit the fan now.... 

I've been doubting whether the quotes are real.

I also wonder about the Sleep Talking Man blog. 

Shatner, huh? Hopefully they won't have to change the titles to "Heart Attacks My Dad Has." 

DO NOT WANT 

Speaking of which, Betty White just Shatner pants. (from his roast) 

Tourettes guy would be awesome to play this role. 

Oh my Shatner! 

I like how shitmydadsays only follows one person, and it's Levar Burton.

I've always thought it was simply well crafted.

Ha! I was JUST thinking that before I read your post. 

This is 2010's version of the Geico Cavemen tv show. 

Shat my dad says 

It's going to be on TV? So it will be completely censored or watered down, and there will be a laugh track, and awful plot lines. Sounds awesome.

Bravo, sir.

This is a misconception. There are NO network shows that have laugh tracks (artificial, pre-recorded laughter). None. Any laughter you hear is either from a live studio audience during taping (most common), or a post production audience watching the completed reel (less common, but it happens).

But everything else you said (censored, watered down, awful plot lines), likely 100% spot on.

I know what you're saying, but the laugh track is just the recorded audience laughter. The audience reaction is literally recorded on a separate track from the on-set sound, hence laugh track. There may not be any pre-recorded laugh tracks anymore, but there are most certainly laugh tracks.

I, for one, can't stand the damn things. If your writing is good, I'll laugh. I don't need to be told when to laugh. Aaron Sorkin's shows are a good example. "Sports Night" started out with a laugh track and it was incredibly awkward and weird. They quickly started lowering the volume of the laugh track, and eventually they got rid of it altogether, and the show finally felt natural once it was gone (not that it helped the show survive).

Just for shits and giggles, here's a clip from "The Big Bang Theory" with the laughter dropped out. Very awkward.

Shit my tv airs. 

Shatner isn't jewish enough to play this role.. 

Sh*t My Dad Says 

This is a pretty hilarious Twitter feed, but once you cut out all the profanity (which CBS will have to do) it's gonna lose 90% of the funny. On CBS, I predict a flop.

HBO should have jumped on this, and turned it into an Arrested Development-style single camera sitcom. With lots of profanity. And an old Jewish guy.

I rarely find that show amusing for a few reasons, in particular cause the laugh track (or whatever you want to call it) is so pronounced. Sans-laughter didn't improve it at all, and I agree was pretty awkward.

An associated link there was Friends sans-laughter, and I was like, Friends had a laugh track? Maybe it was less egregious 'cause I don't even remember that. 

I just had a virus try to sneak in from that link. One of those "hey, your pc is infected, pay us lots of money to uninfect it" ones.

From The Hollywood Reporter? I don't think so. Your computer is probably already infected, and that pop-up is part of its method of getting you to install more crap.

Good luck.

+1 

It will be "Things" my dad says... 

"Things My Dad Shits" 

More reasons never to turn the tv on again. 

A liar is the worst thing you can be. What? A Nazi? Ok, A Nazi is the worst thing you can be. Nazi 1, liar 2. 

why is this so stunning

Yep - same here. I started to try to read it again, then 'meh' set in...

I'm a fan of Shatner, he has a great self-deprecating sense of humor and I've found some of his 'raw nerve' interviews pretty entertaining.

No kidding. Find popular thing, exploit, destroy. Seems like a pretty typical path.

Never followed it on Twitter (I think it's the bane of the Internet) but I do follow it on facebook (not much better, but still) and I love the things that guy says. But there is NO WAY to make that TV friendly and still funny to the audience who would appreciate it right off the bat. 

there has yet to be one thing "he says" that i've found remotely funny
