	concept from $#*! My Dad Says, based on the popular Twitter feed by Justin Halpern, stars Emmy Award winner William Shatner as Ed Goodson, a forthright and opinionated dad who relishes expressing his unsolicited and often wildly politically incorrect observations to anyone within earshot. Nobody is immune from Ed's rants, including his sons, Henry, a struggling writer-turned-unpaid blogger; and Vince, the meek half of his husband/wife real estate duo with domineering Kathleen. When Henry finds he can no longer afford to pay rent to his pretty roommate - and secret admirer - Sam, Ed reveals a soft spot and invites Henry to move in with him. Henry agrees, knowing that the verbal assault will not abate and now there will be no escape. Describing their father/son relationship is tricky - but Ed will easily come up with a few choice words.  stars William Shatner (Boston Legal), Nicole Sullivan (King of Queens), Will Sasso (Less Than Perfect), Jonathan Sadowski (Miss/Guided), Stephanie Lemelin (Cavemen) producers David Kohan (Will & Grace), Max Mutchnick (Will & Grace), Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker studio KoMut Entertainment, Warner Bros.

my take The Twitter feed that the show is based on is called "Shit My Dad Says," so that's what I'm calling the show while CBS spells it "$#*!" and calls it "bleep." It's a word people, get over it. Now that that's done, I have no idea how this will turn out, but I'm hopeful. CBS' new Thursday comedy block is looking good. For me, this comes down the fact the Shatner is funny. Cranky Shatner is even more funny. It's going to get a ton of sampling due to the title and well, "The Shat." I hope it doesn't disappoint.
