CBS eyeing series based on Twitter feed

CBS is developing a show based on Justin Halpern's popular Twitter feed 'S**t My Dad Says'.

Halpern and Patrick Schumacker will co-write the multi-camera comedy, says The Hollywood Reporter. Will & Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick were named as co-executive producers of the as-yet-untitled potential series.

On his Twitter account, Halpern posts humourous quotes that he heard his 73-year-old father say while he was unemployed and living at home.

A recent post from the feed reads: "Oh please, you practically invented lazy. People should have to call you and ask for the rights to lazy before they use it."

Halpern recently sold a book based on his Twitter page to HarperCollins.
