Apparently, Shit My Dad Says, the new sitcom starring William Shatner and some other people of whom I have never heard, is not funny. It’s painfully not funny, which is a shame since the Twitterer who is the inspiration for the show is fairly hilarious. To wit:

“No. Humans will die out. We’re weak. Dinosaurs survived on rotten flesh. You got diarrhea last week from a Wendy’s.” 12:10 PM May 26th via ShitMyDadSays.com

I gave up my TV almost four years ago. I still watch documentaries and dramas via Netflix and educational and informative British TV shows, such as Grand Designs, River Cottage, The Business Inspector, or Landscape Mysteries. British television is just so much better than American. But that’s not saying much, is it? If you want to witness the stark contrast, find a British television show that stars Gordon Ramsay (e.g., The F Word, Ramsay’s Best Restaurant, or the first or second season of the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares) and then watch a Fox production of a Ramsay show (e.g., Hell’s Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares). I guarantee that after watching the British show, you’ll view Ramsay differently.
