Twitter bags TV comedy show
peachystew-TC
A Twitter feed featuring pearls of wisdom from a 73-year-old father could become a family comedy on US TV.

Jason Halpern, 29, has become an internet star with more than 700,000 followers since he began posting his father's often profane words of wisdom.

The comments include: "The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain't like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain't spitting it out."

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Halpern will co-write the CBS project.

The trade paper also reports that Halpern will be a co-executive producer and that the creators of Will and Grace, David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, are on board to develop the comedy.

It will then become a pilot before executives decide whether to turn it into a series.

Halpern already has a book deal with Harper Collins - he will co-write the TV project and will also be a co-executive producer.

Halpern moved back in with his parents in San Diego in August and began the Twitter feed based on daily conversations with his dad soon after.

The old man is completely bonkers.

Another site worth a look is Things my girlfriend and I have argued about.

It became a newspaper column and a book.

"We have argued about:


* The way one should cut a Kiwi Fruit in half (along its length or across the middle)."
