    "$#!* My Dad Says" is awful. I'm skipping "Steve."

CBS debuted "$#*! My Dad Says," which was based off the popular Twitter feed of the same name (except the feed didn't bother with funky symbols), on Thursday. Despite the show getting a public drubbing by critics, the network's ready to go back to the same source for inspiration, this time from the feed "Shh ... Don't Tell Steve," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Twitter master Ashton Kutcher will be executive producing the show, which is about a man who deals with his immature roommate. Tweets from the "Steve" feed include such gems as "Steve's next interview (Fri) was set up by his dad at a brokerage firm. 'Is it bad I told them I'm good with numbers when I'm not really?' " and "Steve, just now, yelling from our bathroom: 'Total Asparagus pee bro! Come smell!' "
