Twitter is going primetime after CBS decided to launch a brand new sitcom which focuses on the social media tool and the prominence of tweets, as well as digital communication among American youth. The show will enter the production phase in the coming months and it has been entitled ?Bleep My Dad Says.? The Twitter-inspired sitcom has also managed to attract a major Hollywood star. William Shatner, most famously of Star Trek, will reportedly play a lead role in the show. CBS will make an official announcement about the sitcom?s launch later this week. Despite the high tech, twenty-first century nature of ?Bleep My Dad Says,? the show will be filmed in the traditional manner that viewers have come to expect from sitcoms.</p> <p>The new CBS show is based on tweets posted by 29 year old Justin Halpern, who often added lines from his 74 year old father, Sam Halpern, a retired physician. Justin?s page managed to attract 1.3 million subscribers, thanks to the dry, witty, sarcastic and occasionally rude comments attributed to Sam Halpern. Shatner will play the role of the old, crusty doctor.</p> <p>Halpern?s Twitter feed has even been turned into a book, and the sitcom will be based largely on this. Justin Halpern never realized that merely posting tweets would inspire not only a book, but also a sitcom on one of America?s flagship television networks.</p>
