Shat To Star In SHIT!!

Published at:  Feb 19, 2010 4:03:52 PM CST

I am – Hercules!!


UPN couldn’t lure William Shatner to guest-star as Mirror Kirk on “Star Trek: Enterprise,” but CBS has apparently landed The Shat for the title role in its “Shit My Dad Says” pilot.

It’s based on the Twitter account 29-year-old San Diegan Justin Halpern set up in August. The same tweets landed Halpern a book deal at Harper Collins.

Find The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.



Follow Herc on Twitter!!



“Fringe: Season One” on Blu-ray, $47.99 in December and $42.99 in January, is momentarily $26.99!!



“Farscape: The Complete Series,” $129.49 last year, is momentarily $59.99. That works out to less than $15 per season!!

    Is The Show Called Shit My Dad Says?

    by crow3711

    There's no way that flies on network TV, right? It'll be called like, My Crazy Dad! and be watered down and have a laugh track like Big Bang and 2 1/2 (which automatically deems it unwatchable to me) I mean...it does have The Shat I guess, and I'm sure he'll be hilarious...but I can hardly picture this being good. Anway, is there any real news on what it will be called?

    Shit my dad actually said

    by gotilk

    I didn't know at the time that he smoked pot. (he was Mormon at the time) He was under some kind of impression that I was having sex with everything that moved (and some stuff that sat still, to be honest) in town when I came to live with him. He must have been high one night when he started to go on about the right and wrong way to "finger" a girl. It's all about making her "come here", he said matter of factly as he gestured toward the ground into thin air as if calling a small person across the room toward him with his digits. "You know, they call it "COME HERE" for a reason." He then proceeded to laugh so hard I think he made himself tear up a bit. He said "do that and she'll not only come back for more, she'll cry if you talk to other girls". Man, I miss my dad. But what a strange fella.
    Why did I share that? Because I don't give a fuck. Fit that it a tweet.

As for the show thought it would be awful due to the already stale tweets and the censoring of the language, but Shat in the title role? This has got me interested!

    Shatners post Trek Original Series

    and pre ST-TMP movie career was not all shit.Mostly,yes,since it was all TV movies.But two stand out as pretty good.First,Disaster on the Coastliner-about two trains on a collision course.File under so-bad-its good,but the Shat is ace as-a conman!!!Well worth finding,if you can.The other is my personal fave-Kingdom of the Spiders.Superb!Vicious spiders on the loose in a small town,a bit like Arachnophobia,but better,in my opinion.Shatner is excellent!!!Some truly horrible scenes-if you hate spiders-will have your skin crawling.As for his co-star,Tiffany Bolling-boy,is she THE SHIT!!!!Jeez,what a hot babe.Wonder what became of her?Btw,Shats then-wife also appears in this movie.Check this one out folks-buy or(ahem)download it,but if you like the Shat(or even if you dont)and creepy movies,this is one you will enjoy.

    MM, there's a big difference between a development deal

    by big jim

    for a dude and his million-plus follower Twitter (the new Youtube) account, and someone who makes suggestions in a random TB regarding a random show on a random website. Executives now and again have to make deals like this to justify spending 90% of their workdays on Twitter and Youtube ("what, no boss, I'm not wasting company time surfing the web, I'm researching the newest trends and looking for the next big thing. Yeah, that's the ticket").Twitter & Youtube measure one's popularity - the more hits, the more "followers" or "subscribers" shows the most casual researcher how many people are eager to find out what that person has to say next. It's easy to go to Youtube and find out what's the most popular. The popularity of ideas expressed by the average TBer around here is not quantifiable. So why would anyone bother? It can't be backed up by numbers.Doubtful that "Hollywood", when thinking of signing "people who post their ideas and views on the net", spend much time away from Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace. Highly unlikely they will venture away from their comfort zone to someplace like this. How many times have you seen someone ask Harry or Hercules or any of the contributors a question in a TB, only to never have it answered? Certainly, now and again a question might get answered, but it's rare. If even the moderators on this site can't be bothered with what's being said in their own TBs, how likely is it that someone unconnected with the site would be?

    by anyangbluth

    based on a popular internet following. Good for him, all the power to him. But I still haven't seen any news on why this will be any good. Certainly none to live up to all the hype so far. This Justin Halpert has no film or tv credit to his name. What about his blog indicates that he could write for a television script? Have they lined up a good showrunner? And the premise isn't exactly earth shattering. How many shows have their been with a crazy, eccentric, curmudgeon father figure? Hank of the Hill, Simpsons, Everybody Loves Raymond, Fraser, Family Guy. Hell even the Simpsons did an episode where the kids made an hit internet series, "Angry Dad". Hell Karl Pilkington says bat-shit crazy stuff, make a sitcom about him. It don't mean it will good.

    with better animation than the old filmation series (although the writing was pretty good for a cartoon.) just get the guys who do scotty and mccoy in the movie but bring in koenig,george, nichelle and nimoy. plunk it in primetime and the ratings would be off the charts. (maybe have it done in realistic cartoon style ala johnny quest or archer. And put shat in the next movie somehow dickwads. he ain't gonna be around forever. (jj wont like regrets.)

    Question - if it's shit my "dad" says...

    by choopacabra

    shouldn't the father be getting the development deal in addition to a producer title and staff writing job instead of his kid. If all he's doing is cutting and pasting on to twitter what his Dad says, then people need to give credit where credit is due. At most the kid should get be getting a 10% standard agent fee for discovering his father, and setting up the deal. I mean what if, God forbid, the 73 year old Dad, kicks the bucket? There goes his well of ideas, and the actual talent behind the operation.

We had "Based on the New York Times Bestseller" and "Based on a True Story" kinds of shows/movies...and now "Based on the Twitter Account With Lots Of Subscribers"? Dumb. Just dumb, dumb, DUMB. Unless it's for HBO, it won't be titled "Shit My Dad Says," and if it's not for HBO then it'll just be another "Everybody Loves Raymond", nothing edgy about it. It's an attempt by the Execs to create a show with an already built-in audience, people who are like, "I wanna watch that, and it'll be good because I've heard of it before." If it turns out funny AT ALL I'll eat my own hat. Anyways...we're all just floating...

    If you are a regular poster, you are going to love the "AICN Power Mod" I developed. It's a script that fixes a lot of problems with ain't-it-cool and adds new features. You must be running Firefox with the Greasemonkey add-on (google greasemonkey) to use this, but it's well worth it.Features:* Highlight your posts and any post where your user name is referenced. You'll feel as important as Harry and Herc. Don't miss out on those exciting new flame wars about to happen!* Automatically inserts newlines into your comments. No more manually adding the or tag. Yay, the return key finally works!* Fixes the subject cut-off bug. Everything you can fit in the subject field will be posted as you'll be properly limited to the 64 character maximum.* Set up a personal ban list, collapsing the posts of people you've had enough of. Try not to ban people over differences of opinion, that's a total pussy move.* Collapses posts with keywords in it, like 'spoiler' or the names of shows you aren't caught up on. No more accidentally finding out that Hurley dies next week on Lost. ;)* Expands the size of the comment area (configurable). Now you can see more than three words of your comment at a time.* Deletes posts by retarded "first" posters (and second and third -- configurable). I know, I know, it's about fucking time. You're most welcome.* Provides a status bar at the top of the screen showing the total post count, your post count, and the collapsed post count.Get it here:http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/72709I'm not affiliated with AICN, nor is this script endorsed by them. Run at your own risk and don't bitch at me if you don't like it. It is free after all. And since it's a javascript, you can modify it to your own liking.After installing, hover the mouse at the top of the page to activate the status bar and click on "Show Settings" to configure it. At a minimum, you'll need to enter your user name for the highlighting to work. Enjoy!
