Legendary actor William Shatner stars in this comedy series based on a popular Twitter feed. Shatner plays Ed Goodson, a forthright father who is not afraid to express his opinions, regardless of how politically incorrect they may be. Ed's sons are no strangers to their father's rants. When one of his sons, struggling writer-blogger Henry, can no longer pay his rent, Ed invites Henry to move into his house, making Henry his captive audience.

It's about a crusty dad (William Shatner) living with his needy son-Frasier, but with sadism instead of wit. Go to Full Review Ed Bark Uncle Barky 09/10/2020

In which Shatner labors through the rhythms of the live studio audience sitcom format while coughing up a steady stream of pointed and oft-blue insults that would make him a fine nursing home partner for Archie Bunker. Go to Full Review Andrea Reiher Zap2it.com 09/23/2010
