Synopsis

Ed Goodson, a forthright and opinionated dad, relishes expressing his unsolicited and often wildly politically incorrect observations to anyone within earshot. Nobody is immune from Ed's rants, including his sons, Henry, a struggling writer-turned-unpaid blogger; and Vince, the meek half of his husband/wife real estate duo with domineering Kathleen. When Henry finds he can no longer afford to pay rent to his pretty roommate -- and secret admirer -- Sam, Ed reveals a soft spot and invites Henry to move in with him. Henry agrees, knowing that the verbal assault will not abate and now there will be no escape.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
ComedyFan2010 I find it very disappointing that this show got cancelled. I think it is much better than a lot of other shows we have on TV.It wasn't exactly what I expected. I thought there would be more rude, unPC, dirty humor. Instead it was more of a family sitcom. One problem I had is that sometimes the idea seemed to be great and yet it wasn't presented in it's full potential. There were episodes where it seemed like they wanted to make it more touching and contain life lessons than make it funny I did like the cast. William Shatner was great in the role of Ed. I think he did it perfectly. It was actually the first time I saw him act (I never watched Star Trek or Boston Legal) and I must say I was impressed. I know there isn't much love for Jonathan Sadowski, but I think he did a good job. There were some moments in the beginning when I thought he could do better but for the most part he did it right. Will Sasso's character Vince was my favorite on the show and he did a great job, just as Nicole Sullivan who played his wife. I think I liked pretty much every storyline involving the two.In this season there were some episodes that I loved, some that I hated, but all in all I enjoyed the show. I think the problems I mentioned would be easy to deal with and I feel like this show would have improved in the second season
horrorflicklover I had a different review of this show before. But I think that wanting to like it led me to be more lenient on it than it ever deserved. It was a bad show. A great premise that failed due to absolutely wretched writing. Which shows you how much CBS cared about it in the first place.It can't be that hard to work with the material that the Twitter/Facebook page provided. At least not if you're a WRITER. Sure, I probably couldn't have been much funnier. I'm also not in that career path, employed by a television network no less. This show WRITES ITSELF. The problem might be that the writers took that statement too literally. Is it really that hard to make a caricature of a cantankerous, witty old man when you were gifted numerous insights in to his personality? The failings of this show were the flimsy plots and mediocre jokes. Provided, each episode might give you a couple of solid laughs. However, that means little, especially when you consider what we SHOULD have gotten from it. It should have been the breakout hit of the season.If you didn't catch $#*! My Dad Says during its brief run, you didn't miss much at all. Just a lot of wasted potential. It tried to be edgy in certain avenues, but ultimately came across as a watered-down blow off.
fortress111 Shatner pulls another one out of his... @$$. Of course with the executive producers from Will & Grace, things can only be first class. Well... mostly. The funny lines of Shatner and his own comedy talents make up for the short falling of the rest of the show. Ideally, nothing is ever perfect. (In a perfect world, William Shatner would not have to buy hair...) Expect lots of star cameos and witty writing. Expect a lot of stepping on political correctness and spanking it's @$$. After all, that's what this series is all about... PC meets Old School. Shatner does not look 79...more like 59... and "Henry" looks to be in his thirties...which he is (31). Therefore, the premise works, unlike "Retired at 35". Sadowski is superior to McClain by far...although we could have hoped for Zach Braff to take the lead role of "Henry". Second string ain't bad...but the snap of a seasoned star like Braff would have helped tremendously to support the wit of the lead "Ed" played by Shatner...brilliantly as usual.The writing is coming along to support the premise and the main characters...but has not yet bloomed into its potential. Bottom line...the best new show of the season on any network. Perhaps the best show on any network... period. Including "Two and a Half Men" and "The Big Bang Theory." My VCR is set. I never miss it.
tacticalguy I found this little comedy engaging and fun. I wasn't sure how William Shatner would pull off comedy when I started the pilot but, I was very satisfied. His timing was perfect. Jonathon Sadowski is very funny as his neurotic, out of touch younger son. Will Sasso is ALWAYS funny to watch. Nicole Sullivan is over the top but, that's why we all love her. I watched the pilot episode and then, begged my girlfriend to watch it with me, again(we have 2 dvrs in my house). She laughed so hard that she said her sides hurt. And this is someone who has never been a fan of William Shatner's. This show is absolutely on our "Must Record Weekly" list. I'm really hoping this show gets picked up for several seasons.
