$#*! My Dad Says

I've been looking round to see some kind of comedy and instead of watching that 70s show reruns I've decided to give this one a try. Man it's paid off. I'm not going to brag about the story just give you a general idea. The show is about a son - dad relationship that never was and is supposed to be made up for. The guys are trying to get a long and all of the episodes show us how hilarious at times can it be. The Generatrion gap is the obvious one to bring out the differences and comedy but a lot of situational humor is served which I would say is in pair with MASH or even a one that is better, especially since it's really contemporary and up-to-date and touches upon real-life dilemmas. Every episode leaves you with something to think about and this is the quality which I love in a show. Not many sitcoms have this. This one does and in abundance. Furthermore, it makes you laugh. I really haven't thought a sitcom could've done it to me ever since "Married with children" has been taken off.

Give it a try, it's really worthwhile.

As much as I refuse that Twitter accounts now also serve as the basis for TV sitcoms, I cannot deny that especially nowadays, in the days of "canceling" and the "moral upper hand" of the PC community, one such a sitcom already seems like a good relic from the old days. It's about meaningful dialogue of the different opinions and about being able to find each other funny. Laughing at yourself also plays a role; and that definitely has potential and definitely more than a stupid Twitter account. Unfortunately, not all jokes ignite, but the direction of coziness, the classic 90s sitcom breath that is breathed here and sympathetic actors make up for a lot. Above all, the role for the lovable Grumpy-Old-Shatner fits like a fist in the eye. It's really a shame that only one season of this was produced.

I wasn't expecting much out of the show. I had no idea it was based on a guy in his late 20's living with his Father who is in his 70's. The scenario of such a circumstance is certainly believable with the way the economy is these days.

I certainly wasn't expecting Shatner to make me laugh, boy was that a pleasant surprise. The guy plays the part of a blunt old man to the 'T'. His lines suit the title of the show. Give credit to the Gentleman that actually did record sh*t his Dad says, after all, the show wouldn't exist without it.

I laughed from start to finish. Keep in mind though, everybody has a different idea of what comedy should be. If you liked the type of lines Al Bundy had, then you might get a laugh out of this. It is simply...raw. Maybe it helps that I have a friend like this so I can relate.

Give it a watch, judge for yourself.

i really did not know what to expect from this. Then i saw it was a KOMUT show. So OK, let's give it a try. After half of the pilot i was hooked. William Shatner is excellent . He reminds me of my own father ( :-) ) The situations are also great (WS in a gay restaurant, i mean it's priceless). The only downside is Henry, he needs to get more lines or act a little bit better. The relations between WS and his sons are also greatly written. Full of humor but there's always a message underneath.The show will really take off if they have guest stars , noticeable guest stars (like all the Star Trek crew members :-) Jean Smart is great . There is chemistry between her and WS.

Shatner pulls another one out of his... @$$. Of course with the executive producers from Will & Grace, things can only be first class. Well... mostly. The funny lines of Shatner and his own comedy talents make up for the short falling of the rest of the show. Ideally, nothing is ever perfect. (In a perfect world, William Shatner would not have to buy hair...) Expect lots of star cameos and witty writing. Expect a lot of stepping on political correctness and spanking it's @$$. After all, that's what this series is all about... PC meets Old School.

Shatner does not look 79...more like 59... and "Henry" looks to be in his thirties...which he is (31). Therefore, the premise works, unlike "Retired at 35". Sadowski is superior to McClain by far...although we could have hoped for Zach Braff to take the lead role of "Henry". Second string ain't bad...but the snap of a seasoned star like Braff would have helped tremendously to support the wit of the lead "Ed" played by Shatner...brilliantly as usual.

The writing is coming along to support the premise and the main characters...but has not yet bloomed into its potential. Bottom line...the best new show of the season on any network. Perhaps the best show on any network... period. Including "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory." My VCR is set. I never miss it.
