$h*! My Dad Says (pronounced "Bleep My Dad Says") premiered on 23 September 2010 on CBS (USA) and is based on the hugely popular Twitter feed by Justin Halpern (USA). The sitcom documents the life of a struggling author (played by Jonathan Sadowski) who finally find works writing about his father's politically incorrect rants. Starring in the role of Dad is veteran TV actor William Shatner. The name of the actual Twitter feed is "Shit My Dad Says". An earlier show (from April 2010) aired in Japan entitled "Hard To Say I Love You" about five friends who meet and start relationships on Twitter, but this was only inspired by Twitter and not based on a actual feed.
