I made a post a while back about my all time favorite twitter account @shitmydadsays, where Justin Halpern (28) chronicles the random sayings of his 73 year old Father. Since August of this year he as amassed over 700,000 followers and still growing.

If the creators of the sitcom “Will & Grace” can work their magic again, it just might happen.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Justin Halpern, the creator of the, Twitter hit , S***MyDadSays, now has a CBS option deal that would turn 28-year-old ‘s online record of his father’s profane quips into a television comedy series.

The team behind “Will & Grace,” David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, will reportedly executive produce and oversee writing for the comedy. Halpern and Patrick Schumacker will co-write and co-executive produce the Warner Bros. TV-backed project, the Reporter says.

This could potentially be very funny, considering how funny the twitter account is.

Yeah, it has great potential, as long as the bureaucracy of network television doesn’t fuck with it too much.
