If you thought a sitcom based on the Geico Cavemen was strange, one that’s based on a Twitter feed seems really crazy. $#*! My Dad Says also certainly wins the prize for having the most awkward title in TV history (CBS maintains that it should be read as Bleep My Dad Says). In any case, the show finally debuted last week. How did it do in the Nielsen ratings? Will it last or be quickly cancelled?
$#*! My Dad Says revolves around a young struggling writer who’s out of money and must move in with his cranky and opinionated father. The new TV show stars William Shatner, Jonathan Sadowski, Will Sasso, Nicole Sullivan, and Stephanie Lemelin.
In its first week on CBS, $#*! My Dad Says did very well, despite some poor reviews. In its Thursday night timeslot, the sitcom attracted a 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 12.58 million total viewers. That was enough to put the show in first place in both categories.

On the negative side, though a 4.0 rating is still great, it did lose almost 20% of its lead-in audience in the demographic. The Big Bang Theory scored a 4.9 rating.
The real question will be to see how many viewers return to watch week after week. The show is obviously benefiting from its timeslot, sandwiched between Big Bang and CSI. With such a great timeslot, the network’s expectations are high but for now, $#*! My Dad Says certainly looks safe from cancellation.
But, what do you think? Is $#*! My Dad Says worth watching week after week? Should it be kept or cancelled?

I have to say that I have never been more disappointed in a canceled show. Why are you so worried about what a few think of you. This country and the shows on TV would not be what they are today unless people took risk. I am a career Navy man and I know alot of Sailors that loved this show. For instance 5,000 on each carrier in the Navy. Please bring this show back. This country is so sinsative that I am beginning to wonder how we got where we are today.
Rushman » The show was cancelled because the ratings weren’t high enough. Nothing more than that.
love this funny show keep it on!
I was lazy and only now looked to see when “Bleep” would come back only to see it was cancelled!
What a shame. We (72 and 86) loved it…roared with laughter. We considered this, along
with Two and a Half Men and Big Bang, to be one of your best. Please reconsider.
I think the show should be called (Things my dad says) and keep it on, it started out good and 18 was good but there was never the next one to find out who the son was. So everyone is wondering who it could be. So it just can not end there. Make some more
I loved the show. I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t come back
Keep it
Keep the show. Change the actor who plays is his son. He’s just annoying and tries to hard to keep up with the other actors. The story lines are too much like the ‘Big Bang Theory’, that is trying to run several independent stories. Problem, BBT has enough characters to run different lines. With Bill Shatner you I think you need more of a Lucy and Ethel one story line approach. However, as far as the BBT goes : Sheldon and Penny should end up together. Lose the Indian girl. I like the different story line play, but its getting… Read more »

The Network draw me in, as the spider did the fly. Networks, tease me, with a few episodes. The Networks,Wine and Dine me without no happy ending..The Networks, played with my emotion. Killing cupid, breaking my heart again and again. Leaving me frustrated, wondering have you canceled another Drama/ Sitcom show. Treating me as if, was a stepchild. As if , I was yours to knock around, whenever you wanted too.
