Be Less Boring

You may be familiar with the Twitter feed ShitMyDadSays, afterall, it's got 1.3 million followers, including me.  It's about things a 29 year old guy's 74 year old dad says to him.  It has been turned into a book and will soon be a sitcom staring William Shatner as the dad.  On CBS.  Um...

Right.  I could see it working on HBO or something where there are few restrictions on what one can say and do, but on regular network TV there are too many rules against profanity.  Without the profanity to punctuate the statements, it becomes little more than an Archie Bunker parody.  There was only room for one Archie Bunker in the world and his time came and went a long time ago.

For those of you with more of a sci-fi bent, there is ShitMyDarthSays, but I haven't heard of any plans to turn it into a book or TV show.
