My Dad Says and Mad Love. They join midseason drama Chaos, which was canceled after a couple of weeks on the air. From the freshman class of 2011, still fighting for its life is spinoff Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, while Mike & Molly, Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods are locks to return. Not being featured on the cancellation list today is certainly an encouraging sign for the chances of Suspect Behavior, which may undergo some retooling if renewed. http://www.deadline.com/2011/05/cbs-cancels-the-defenders-mad-love/

When a comic's material is weak, & they start to bomb, they'll sometimes sweat under the lights.... Flop. Sweat. Frankly, the rest of the cast were mediocre in their parts, the stories were rather humdrum, and only Shat had any decent dialog, & even that was watered down for network tv, from the original tweets from Shit My Dad Says Imo, the only reason it lasted as long as it did, was that it's only redeeming quality was that it had SHAT! Even in shit Shat is the shit

The first episode reminded me of your typical mid-1980's sitcom humor and while it did get better later on through episodes, it just didn't have the right stuff. It had some good moments and some funny moments here and there, but nothing that could make it stand against rivaling shows & sitcoms. Shatner did start to give his character more life and did become more entertaining, but indeed.... all the other actors/characters dragged the show down & the translation from the blog that the show was based on simply didn't work on tv when they watered it down.
