9 Tweets That Suggest CBS Might Have Buyer's Remorse Over Don't Tell Steve
You reap what you sow, America. In the wake of the first week success of $#*! My Dad Says, CBS is now doubling down on the whole people-will-watch-a-TV-show-based-on-a-Twitter-feed phenomenon. Today it was announced that the network is developing Don't Tell Steve, a new sitcom based on @shhdontellsteve, an occasionally amusing Twitter feed about a guy and his roommate, Steve. Ahead, 9 tweets that prove CBS might have buyer's remorse about this one.

Perhaps they can mix it with the TV version of "All About Steve" to create something absolutely nobody wants to se... actually, no, it'll repel viewers on its own just fine.
I'm going to buck the entire premise of this feed: I am in fact going to tell Steve his show sucks.
Please don't tell us the working title is "Stupid $@!& My Roommate Steve Says.
(And what's the over/under on one of these twitter feeds finally getting the "Frey" expose´ they deserve?)
That actually sounds kinda funny...from a supporting character in An R rTed comedy.
