TV show description:
This sitcom is based on the popular Twitter feed by Justin Halpern and revolves around a father who thinks nothing of expressing his wildly politically-incorrect opinions at the drop of a hat.
Henry Goodson (Jonathan Sadowski) is a young struggling writer-turned-unpaid blogger. His older brother is Vince (Will Sasso), the meek half of a husband/wife real estate team. There’s no question that his aggressive wife Bonnie (Nicole Sullivan) truly wears the pants in the family.
Henry and Vince’s father is Ed Goodson (William Shatner), a forthright and opinionated man who will always tell you exactly what he thinks, especially if you didn’t ask.
When Henry finds that he can no longer afford to pay rent, Ed temporarily softens and invites his son to move in with him. Having no other choice, Henry agrees but knows that he won’t be able to escape his father’s verbal assaults.
Series Finale
Episode 18 — Who’s Your Daddy
Henry meets a beautiful girl named Laura on the internet and senses a strange connection to her. Things get weird when she seems to know a little too much about Ed. Worried that she might be his long-lost daughter, Ed attempts to discover the truth, even though he’s not ready for it.
Vince and Bonnie, sad that their attempts at artificial insemination (in the previous episode) didn’t seem to work, throw themselves into their work and end up as real estate agents on The Real Housewives of San Diego. Camille (Camille Donatacci Grammer), a divorcee and reality series star, goes house hunting with them. Their shoot is disrupted when Bonnie throws up on camera. She’s pregnant.
After doing a secret DNA test, it turns out that Laura is not Ed’s child. She comes to the house and confesses that she’s in love with his son — but it’s not Henry or Vince. It turns out Ed has another son that he’s never met who had been scared to meet him. Laura opens the front door to reveal him. We can’t see who he is but hear a young voice say “Hi, dad.” The family all stare out the door and Ed exclaims, “Holy Bleep!”
First aired: March 15, 2011.

great show. very funny. keep jean smart. she’s good.
I want more. Very funny!
this show is the only thing on tv worth watching – i don’t ever comment, but i can’t believe it has gone off
I keep hearing that S#*! My Dad Says is not cancelled, but I haven’t seen it on the air in quite a while. Is it just in temporary hiatus? Maybe they are creating new episodes, but then why not do what every other series does and run reruns until the new season starts? This show is one of the few shows my family enjoys watching together. It’s very funny and always has an underlying message at the end of the show. Please bring this show back.
Jack Vincent » It’s done for the season. All the episodes have aired so now we have to wait to see if it gets renewed.
I love the show, it is very funny. But why did they have to give that one couple is oldest son and wife a kid. They should of used that time to get a good message out that when you are 40 something and live with your folks and barely have 2 nickles to rub together that the last thing in life you want to do is have kids. They did miss the boat there.
For real? It’s coming back?

Barbara » That merely says that they want it to come back. Most producers want their shows renewed.
Ah! AH! oh nooooo … So much for Web sites that dangle the carrot before the rabbit. Back to CNN for evening entertainment … Thanks for clarifying.
S#*!
How can CBS cancel this show????
It was a funny one… It won the People Choice!!!… It had good ratings!!!… I LIKED IT!!!
And besides, what´s up with the cliffhanger on the 18th episode??? Who was Ed son???
It is totally unfair to leave the viewers hanging like that!!!
The show deserved a renewal, but all the rantings and screaming aren´t going to change the fact that is gone due to some “executive” decisions… Shame CBS shame!!!!
S#*!
You actually can figure out the cliff hanger without looking online for the answer. There is a book you can read which is actually what this show is based off of.
