"$#*! My Dad Says" Flopped, Will Twitter's Second Sitcom Succeed?

It’s not an obvious leap to take a Twitter account and turn it into a sitcom, but it has been done… and it’s going to be done again, sort of, despite the less-than-stellar results the first time around.

It had all the makings of a potential success: a big name (William Shatner), a fun premise (cranky dad says crazy things), and roots in cutting-edge technology (Twitter). But “$#*! My Dad Says” flopped, even though the Twitter feed it was based off of is among the most popular comedy accounts on the network.

Despite the cancellation of this first Twitter sitcom, another Twitter user is looking to cash in on her tweet success.
