CBS Trailers (and $#*! My Dad Says): Yay or Nay?
$#*! My Dad Says_
Nicole Sullivan told the upfront audience, "You're going to laugh when you see" Sh*t My Dad Says: The TV Series. But I think you're going to dry heave when you see how CBS is trying to package Justin Halpern's Twitter feed adaptation as a syrupy father-son sitcom. Case in point: the line "This is the song you and mom used to dance to after you put me to bed." I would much rather watch William Shatner dramatically interpret each of Halpern's tweets on the Tonight Show stage.
Verdict: Not as funny as the Twitter feed. Yay. Nay.

That Hawaii 5-0 clip reached the point where I was surprised when segments didn't end with a character getting punched in the face.
We'll see. Les Moonves better hope this thing doesn't start sinking. That said, series that get shopped to another network rarely survive. Five-0 and "...my dad says" probably have the best shot.
Ugh. I wish Five-O was better, but like most reboots they try too hard to make it hip. The original was about straight arrow guys protecting a crime-ridden paradise, but of course these days it's the cops who have to be too cool for school and look like they just walked off a GQ shoot. Plus, I bet the new theme will suck ("yeah, let's make it a cool rockin' version!" Uhh, how about not. Remember how U2 ruined the Mission Impossible theme?)
Yeah, but remember how Limp Bizkit came a few years later and made everything right again?
This important mispunctuated cyberspace composition bespeaks the particular idea the fact that the commenter possibly will not be bothered to read through every one of the thoughts you have resolved to post
