    So they are actually calling it "shit" my dad says

    by redbull_werewolf

    of course it will be bleeped when said and written as S#*! but that is likely to offend the 80 year olds that tune into CBS, i can see that being changed before the premeieI've always though it should have been called "Shat my dad says", playing up the whole shatner as the dad angle

    It is my favorite show as well as Two and a half men. Can't wait for both!

    How are live annoucers/interviewers going to throw to "Shit"?

    by tall_boy66

    When you watch a sports program, the announcers usually promote a non-sports TV show. Like, in between downs sometimes it's a wide shot of the stadium and the guy says, "Stay tuned for an all-new CSI" or something. What are they going to say on a live broadcast? Or, hell, even when the actors are on a talkshow, does Jay Leno says, "William Shatner the star of 'SHIT MY DAD SAYS' is on tonight?" I get promos, they just bleep it. But it feels like a logistical nightmare to me.

    Is the show's actual name "Shit" or "$%@!"?

    That's what I wanna know.

    Shat my Dad says would be a good title

    by rplocke

    There was a movie, "Young People Fucking"

    by kabong

    that presented marketing problems, since it wasn't aimed at the porn sector.

    I still can't believe Kick Ass kept its title

    by rplocke

    When they wouldn't let Kevin Smith keep his title.

    Umm...RPLocke?

    by clayg

    Why does 'Kick Ass' keeping its title amaze you, when there have been two "Jackass' movies?

    Kick Ass, Jackass...see the similarity in the titles?

    Having the word 'Porno' in a mainstream movie title is a whole different arena. And unlike the use of 'ass', didn't have a precedent.

    He's referring to "A Couple of Dicks", Clay.

    By the time it premieres, "Shit My Dad Says"

    by big jim

    will have had its title changed to "Stuff My Dad Says". As Tall_Boy66 says, it's too much of a hassle to try and promote it verbally with an expletive in the title.

    Survivor Wednesday...... what?!

    by jaka

    I'm with blackwood on this one. That's just not right. Doesn't sound right. Doesn't look right. And it concerns me quite a bit. Does CBS usual have more viewers on Wednesday or Thursday? I thought the Thursday 8-10 featuring Survivor and CSI was really solid for CBS.

    I'm just glad they fixed the 5-0 theme.

    by the mcpoyle clan

    The new version is much better than the one they used in the first teaser.
