This was the best episode of Bleep My Dad Says yet, and if for only a single reference. A single, not-so-obscure reference the writers injected into the episode.
The Proof? All you need to do is view the following video clip. I about spewed.
But, if that wasn’t enough, to get a Right Said Fred “I’m Too Sexy” performance out of William Shatner to boot, well … that was nothing less than gravy on top.
(If you’re not privy to the in-joke, Shatner recorded a cheese-fest, spoken-word version of the tune back in the ’70s. It’s been a classic ever since. I’ve offered a video below for your dining and dancing pleasure.)
In my opinion, the show got into a groove this time ’round. Is this the beginning of hitting a stride with Bleep My Dad Says? Stay tuned.
And yes: I’m still annoyed at the Vince / Bonnie fluff they’re forcing on us. Maybe that will change at some point. But I’m not holding my breath.

Much better show this week but only because it was carried by Shatner, without him the show has nothing but i hope it can surprise me in the future and maybe change my mind.
I completely agree that the show is carried by Shatner. Obviously Vince and Bonnie need to take a Thelma and Louise drive off a cliff, but even his son is very bland. I know this is Shatner’s show, but you can’t have one noteworth character surrounded by forgettable and/or annoying characters and expect the show to thrive.
I enjoy the show, but not enough to be disappointed if it gets cancelled and I don’t want to keep feeling that way about it. I want this to turn into a “can’t miss” show, but I worry it won’t.

Tom: Henry isn’t that bad.
Did you see who they had on for the original pilot? Ryan Devlin. He was not the character Jonathan Sadowski has made a mainstay. (If you can call him that.)
Talk about your un-noteworthy characters …

Just keep Shatner going and everything will be all right, Matt …
Haha, “Not tonight!” Good one!
I tried to watch it last night, and obviously I missed this clip because I had to click away. The canned laughter was just too much for me, and the writing I saw/heard was awful. I want to like it so I can read your reviews and be all supportive and stuff. But I’m not sure if I can.
