“Will and Grace” creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are producing a television show for CBS based on content from the popular Twitter account “Sh*t My Dad Says,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.  If the show makes it on the air, it will be under a more family appropriate title.

Twenty-nine year old Justin Halpern created the @Sh*tMyDadSays account after he moved back in with his 73-year-old father.  Halpern documents his father’s humorous and blunt comments through tweets.  Halpern’s account has proved to be popular in the Twitterverse as he has acquired more than 700,000 followers.

Though Halpern has a strong following, some tweeps are skeptical that his content can sustain a TV show:
