I first read Kris King's "professional" critique on the show. Having watched nine episodes myself, I would never read or take anything Kris King ever writes to be worth anything. King slams "Sh*t My Dad Says", saying such things like the acting is "hammy". For the type of humour, it's to be expected. A lot of sitcoms start out with "hammy acting" and run for several seasons. And when King says it's "not funny, ever", just goes to show how biased King is towards the show. There are plenty of funny bits and not just what Shatner is saying. I don't appreciate King's obvious ignorance.
Admittedly, William Shatner (playing Ed Goodson) forces the one-liners in the first few episodes. That having been said, you can identify all the actors settling into their roles - Shatner most notably. Will Sasso has been the best in his role since the beginning. His "spaghetti and meatballs" bit was spot on and hilarious.
It's not easy to spew one-liners about Viet Cong and homosexualism and get away with it. Especially on CTV! I applaud CTV for pushing the boundaries and broadcasting this show. If I didn't know better, I would think it would be an HBO series. It's about time we have a show that rivals "All In The Family" for touching base on sensitive subjects and bringing light-heartedness to it.
Don't misunderstand my point of views - it doesn't mean I do or we should take those subjects lightly in the real world (despite the show being based off a real-life person). I strongly believe censorship and critics should really stop flaming this show for what it *isn't. If parents aren't passwording their digital and satellite receivers to block channels and adult rating levels, or paying attention to what their children are watching, it's their fault, not the creators of the show.
The critics aren't always right. I find them more biased and ignorant more often than ever. Lighten up. This show is good and getting better!
