$#*! My Dad Says

While opinions seems to vary greatly, I like the show and find the cast well balanced. Shatner, at 79 has great timing and his relationship with Henry is something we can relate to as our parents age.

The dad's advice is mostly right but he offers it with such a bitter pill that it is too hard to swallow. Who doesn't have a relative that is probably right in their wisdom but you just can't stand hearing the sound of their voice for one more minute.

For the distracters I will agree that the new character responsible for taking care of Shatner pulls the show down and I am hoping they write of his character quickly (nothing against the actor, it just doesn't fit with the mood - 2 is company, 3 is a crowd).

I hope the show gets a full session and I will definitely be tuning in for the long haul.

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.

It's too bad that the show got cancelled; I actually got a kick out of the show from the first time I saw it. Shatner is funny, has great timing and it looks like he is having fun, and his timing is great. It's cool that he can laugh at himself so well, many of us could learn from that. In fact the whole cast seems like they are having fun, especially Will Sasso.

In 'Goodson Goes Deep' he makes a great show of trying to leap the counter and then later slide across the hood of the car, not bad efforts for a man of his age ! Many have said that the acting is hammy, well, 'HELLO !' most sitcoms are hammy and have bad writing too. This has quite good writing and is directed at adults instead of 14 year old kids for a change !

We generally don't watch sitcoms but this one is fun, and when there is a gap in other programming or a spare half hour without the ever present kids we can crank up the PVR and have some laughs.

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.

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.
