Shit My Dad Says - Episode 1.01 - Pilot - Press Release

EMMY WINNER WILLIAM SHATNER, JONATHAN SADOWSKI, NICOLE SULLIVAN AND WILL SASSO STAR IN "$#*! MY DAD SAYS," A NEW COMEDY PREMIERING THURSDAY, SEPT. 23

"Pilot" - After being laid off from his job writing for a men's magazine, Henry moves in with his cranky, outspoken father, Ed, on $#*! MY DAD SAYS, a new comedy premiering Thursday, Sept. 23 (8:31-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

$#*! MY DAD SAYS (pronounced "Bleep My Dad Says"), based on the popular Twitter feed by Justin Halpern, is a comedy about Ed Goodson as a forthright and opinionated dad who relishes expressing his unsolicited and often wildly politically incorrect observations to anyone within earshot. Nobody is safe from Ed's rants, including his sons, Henry, a struggling writer-turned-unpaid blogger; and Vince, the meek half of a husband/wife real estate duo with domineering Bonnie. When Henry finds he can no longer afford to pay rent, Ed reveals a soft spot and invites Henry to move in with him. Henry agrees, knowing that the verbal assault will not abate and now there will be no escape. Describing their father/son relationship is tricky, but Ed will easily come up with a few choice words.
