Here's what some of our Reader Reviewers had to say about CBS' William Shatner sitcom "$#*! My Dad Says," which averaged a 6.3 on a scale of 1 to 10, with individual scores ranging from 2 all the way to 10:
BILL HOLLIS
Score: 8
"It's good to see the writers have continued to allow Shat's character to be so self-deprecating - gotta love how I'm thinking of my own dad right now."
CHARLOTTE WHITE
Score: 2
"I thought they were trying just a little too hard to be funny."
MARIO MACHI
Score: 3
"William Shatner was the lone bright spot. I followed the Twitter feed [the show is based on] for a while, but I stopped because the jokes were redundant. I feel the TV show will have the same problem . . . I had a root canal today and I enjoyed it more than this show."
ELLEN NEUBAUR
Score: 8
"When I saw William Shatner, I had doubts . . . but I was surprised once I saw this show. It was funny in a normal family-type atmosphere."
