CBS Picks Up Rights To “Sh*t My Dad Says” Twitter, Probably Turning It Into Crime Drama
In network television’s ongoing effort to be “with it” and “cutting edge” and “ethernet,” CBS has acquired the rights to the “Sh*t My Dad Says” Twitter account minutes after executives were informed that Twitter is not just a trendy black guy:
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.
And what will CBS be calling this “Swearword My Dad Says” show? Here’s some suggestions (feel free to leave your own in the comments):
