William Shatner is no stranger to drawing fire, heck he usually does a quick ground roll and easily fires back.  Now, his upcoming show is drawing it's own fire from The Parents Television Council over the title "Bleep My Dad Says". According to an article written for the Yahoo TV Blog, The Council is asking major advertisers to not buy ad slots on the upcoming sitcom.

"Parents really do care about profanity when their kids are watching TV," said PTC President Tim Winter. "All parents? No, but something like 80 or 90 percent of parents. Putting an expletive in the title of a show is crossing new territory, and we can't allow that to happen on our watch."

As I was thinking over a few ideas for an article tonight, I realized that we have yet to honor our favorite Scotsman in the appropriate fashion. So, ladies, gents, and all trans-gender species, it's time for the... Youtube Video Round-up: James Doohan edition. As a young trek fan, I don't think that there was a cast member I tried to imitate more than Scotty. From the ubiquitus "I haven't got the power" to "Aye, the haggis is in the fire for sure", I tried them all.

With the recent announcement of his retirement, Leonard Nimoy has been hitting the convention circuit pretty heavily.  Not that we're complaining.  We definitely want to see him before he buys a condo and moves to Florida.  With the retirement news though, we just assumed that Vegas Khhaaan! was going to be his last show.  Apparently not.  It looks like the 44th annual Chi-town convention could be our Vulcan friend's last show (maybe).  So, if you're looking for a chance to get a photo or autogarph with Mr. Nimoy beyond Vegas, you still have a chance.

Our good friend (as if we know him) William Shatner is known for his halting... way of... speaking and his quirky spoken word albums.
