If you haven\u2019t been following Shit My Dad Says<\/a> on Twitter up until now, you\u2019ve been missing out, it’s one of my favorite Twitter feeds by far.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s some of the funniest stuff I\u2019ve read in a while, and from the first time I saw it, I thought THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT SITCOM! <\/em>There\u2019s nothing funnier than a guy with a grouchy old dad who says funny shit on TV.\u00a0 Who was funnier than the dad in Everybody Loves Raymond<\/em>?<\/p>\n

\"shatner\"<\/a>If you don\u2019t know what the story is, it\u2019s basically just like it says in the photo.\u00a0 Justin lives with his 73 year old dad who says so much funny shit, he felt the need to share it on Twitter.\u00a0\u00a0 Over the past months he\u2019s racked up over 1 million followers and is now about to see none other than DENNY CRANE<\/a> (or Captain Kirk if you\u2019re nasty) bringing his dear ol\u2019 dad\u2019s famous one liners to televisions screens everywhere.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know who Denny Crane is, you are also missing out.\u00a0 Check out this video<\/a> for a small example.<\/p>\n

I think if anyone is able to play a cynical old man who lets whatever comes in his mind roll off his tongue, it\u2019s William Shatner.\u00a0 His role of Denny Crane alone proves that.\u00a0 I\u2019m a big fan of his and am really excited that he\u2019s getting another show. I\u2019ve missed him since Boston Legal<\/a> went off the air.<\/p>\n

The scoop according to ONTD<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Twitter sensation Shit My Dad Says<\/a> is becoming a TV pilot with William Shatner set to play the larger-than-life dad at the center of it.
\n<\/strong>
\nThe 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.<\/p>\n

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.
\n<\/strong>
\nHalpern co-penned the script with Patrick Schumacker. Halpern and Schumacker co-exec produce the Warner Bros. TV-produced project.<\/p>\n

Halpern, 29, had moved back in with his parents in San Diego, and on Aug. 3 he launched Shit My Dad Says, a Twitter feed featuring colorful — often profane — comments made by his 73-year-old father during their daily conversations.<\/p>\n

Shatner most recently starred on ABC’s legal dramedy “Boston Legal,” winning an Emmy for playing Denny Crane.<\/p>\n

He also won an Emmy for playing the character in a guest tint to “Boston Legal’s” predecessor, “The Practice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
