William Shatner: CBS should call my show …

A critic at press tour to William Shatner, here for his upcoming CBS sitcom "$#*! My Dad Says": "With your old-fashioned sensibilities, wouldn't you love for them to change the title?"
103144294 William Shatner: CBS should call my show ...Shatner: "Do you know what I wish? I wish they would call it 'Shit [My Dad Says]' (critics clapping). I've got grandchildren. I brought up three girls. They've all got kids. Okay? And you say 'Boopy doo-doo, you've got to make poo-poo. Come on. Make poo-poo in the toilet.' Eventually, 'poo-poo' becomes 'shit.' 'Go take a shit, and you'll feel better.' You say that to your kids. The word 'shit' is around us. It isn't a terrible term. It's a natural function. Why are we pussyfooting?"
Shit is indeed all around us ... but it seems there's a disproportion of it on the TeeVee. And this particular lump of shit has been on TeeVee far longer and more frequently than most pieces of feces.
American Culture has been in decline since the advent of TeeVee - now it just seems to be happening more rapidly.
I threw my piece of shit TeeVee out years ago... don't miss the shit a bit.
