Happy Birthday William Shatner – He is 80 Today!

A great milestone has been achieved today… at least for William Shatner.

Captain Kirk celebrated his 80th birthday today and says he is still loving life. Way to go Bill!

While best known for his groundbreaking role as Star Treks Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, Shatner can be seen today on the CBS sitcom “Shit My Dad Says”.

But a lot of the younger folks may not realize that Shatner has been around for a long long time, starting his career in 1951 playing a crook in the movie “The Butler’s Night Off” and as a guest on the “Howdy Doody Show” as Ranger Bob.

Feel old yet?

Shatner also appeared on “77 Sunset Strip”, “The Defenders”, “Dr. Kildare”, “Ironside”, “Barbary Coast”, “T.J. Hooker”, “A Twist in the Tale”, “3rd Rock From The Sun”, “The Practice”, and “Boston Legal”.

He also made numerous guest appearances on familiar shows like “Mission Impossible”, “Alfred Hitchcock Presents”, “Twilight Zone”, “Route 66”, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.”, “The Big Valley”, “Gunsmoke”, “Hawaii Five-o”, “Marcus Welby M.D”, “Barnaby Jones”, “Mannix”, “The Six Million Dollar Man”, “Police Squad!”, “Columbo”, and countless other television shows and movies.

The Man From U.N.C.L.E. ? – Wow, that does make me feel kind of old…

Happy Birthday William Shatner! Live long and prosper.

William Shatner To Star In CBS Sitcom

Captain Kirk has come full circle, and CBS has just tapped William Shatner for his first sitcom.

Little is known about the new show, but we hear it will be called "Shit My Dad Says" and will be directed by James Burrows.

The show will also star Nicole Sullivan, Ryan Devlin, Will Sasso, Stephanie Lemelin, and Zibby Allen.

The plot will revolve loosely around Shatner's twenty-nine year old son, Justin, who is an avid Twitter user. He amasses millions of followers just by tweeting the stupid things his father (Shatner) says.

Look for the show next season.
