I like that twitter stream, there is some poetry and uniqueness in it, and it can be even considered as a new literary genre. BTW, don't you know more sites like SMDS? (different content, some format).
The story here, to me, is that CBS picked it up. If it were on cable, they wouldn't have to re-write the title. Then again, if it were on cable, I'm sure the deal wouldn't have been that great.
Stranger things have happened. I remember when I heard that there was going to be a reality show featuring Ozzy Osbourne and his family, which seemed totally nuts at the time.
I'm sad to hear that they didn't cast Alan Arkin as the dad.
The question is: what happens when a smart, pithy collection of short statements uttered by an old man and documented by his loving son gets taken over by the writers' guild and turned into sitcom boilerplate?

Is the real-life dad getting a cut of this for his IP?
He also did a "Ask me anything" on reddit http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/9pqjl/i_am_justin_from...
I'm still wondering if his dad is actually saying those tweets or if he's just a good writer.
Not sure I agree with this logic.
