A guy + his cantankerous dad + Twitter = CBS TV show

I try to keep this site family friendly (that's what working at Disney for eight years does to you), but I have to talk about this. In fact I've been hesitant to post about it because of the language but the more I see it in the mainstream press...well, here we go.

A Twitter account called sh*tmydadsays has racked up more than 730,000 users. Here is the account's description:

I'm 29. I live with my 73-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says

And the tweets stick to that. Well guess what? It's the new media darling of Hollywood this week reports THR.com:

CBS has picked up a comedy project based on the Twitter account, which has enlisted more than 700,000 followers since launching in August and has made its creator, Justin Halpern, an Internet star.

"Will & Grace" creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are on board to executive produce and supervise the writing for the multicamera family comedy, which Halpern will co-pen with Patrick Schumacker. Halpern and Schumacker will also co-exec produce the Warner Bros. TV-produced project, which has received a script commitment. READ THE REST

It's funny, but kind of a one trick pony. Who knows though, it could be about the son and when he goes home at the opening and ending of each show, his dad lets it rip.
