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.
