If you like William Shatner, you'll enjoy Bleep My Dad Says. If you don't, then you'll likely hate it.I happen to love old Bill. His Denny Crane is one of my all-time favorite tv characters... and of course there's only one Captain Kirk.
But this is a comedy, so is Kirk a fish out of water? Bleep is based on the Twitter sensation of the same name. Lots of absurd lines come out of Dad's mouth and not many actors could pull them off as well as Bill does. He can literally say anything with a straight face.
Like Mike & Molley, CBS proves they give a bleep about Bleep by providing a super strong lead-in, Big Bang Theory. This advantage, combined with weak Thursday night competition, will quickly make Bleep a ratings success.
When it comes to prime time, CBS does it again and again.
Yep, that's exactly what happened during week 1. Big Bang gave Bleep a big lead in and Dad kept the lion's share through it's first-ever half hour.
