Twitter: “Shit My Dad Says” Heading to TV

The Twitter phenom "Shit My Dad Says" is heading to TV.

CBS has signed on for a comedy show based on the popular Twitter account, which has grabbed over 700,000 followers since it was launched in August and has turned its owner, Justin Halpern, an internet sensation.

The creators of "Will & Grace, " David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, will serve as executive producers and supervise the writing for the comedy, which Halpern will co-write along with Patrick Schumacker.

The title of the show will obviously change if it makes it to the airwaves.

Halpern, 29, got the idea for the Twitter account after moving back in with his parents in San Diego. On August 3rd, he debuted "Shit My Dad Says," a Twitter feed where he tweeted the random colorful ramblings of his 73-year-old father.

Some examples:

"Oh please, you practically invented lazy. People should have to call you and ask for the rights to lazy before they use it.";

"Why the fuck would I want to live to 100? I'm 73 and shit's starting to get boring. By the way, there's no money left when I go, just fyi"

Look for it to hit the airwaves soon, if it gets past the screen test.
