William ShatnerSo the big internet news this week is that William Shatner has signed on to play the dad in the Twitter-to-TV show series Sh*t My Dad Says. Of course, Shatner is perfect for the role, as he has been perfecting his Twitter-speak for some time now. But with all these Tumblr/Twitter book deals coming out, we were thinking: what other TV series could we make around our favorite meme sites?

Look At This F*cking Hipster



Premise: An MTV reality show hosted by Aubrey Plaza and Jason Schwartzman, where the duo go around New York city looking for f*cking hipsters and rolling their eyes at them.



This Is Why You're Fat



Premise: A dramedy starring Bobby Flay as a disgruntled chef who has a secret penchant for fatty, disgusting foods, despite cooking at a 4-star restaurant. Whenever his wife catches him secretly eating hamburgers with Krispy Kremes for buns she utters the show's catchphrase, "So this is why you're fat(.com)!"

Stuff White People Like



Premise: Basically, just Thursday night's lineup on NBC, but tweaked to include an hour more of funny stuff said by Tracy Morgan in "30 Rock." He's just so crazy!


LOLCats



Premise: Essentially the same plot as This Is Why You're Fat, except it's on Animal Planet after Meerkat Manor, and it's narrated by Kevin Smith.

Stuff Hipsters Hate



Premise: Glenn Beck, Jeff Dunham, and Sarah Palin host this three-hour documentary about their latest tours and book deals. Meta-irony ensues as hip 20-somethings don't know whether they are hate-watching it or what.


People of Walmart



Premise: By the same people who brought you "Intervention" and "Hoarders," this harrowing 30 minute reality show focuses each week on a different Walmart patron and their sad, sad lives so we can all feel better about ourselves.




Fake AP Style Book

Premise: Brought to you by PBS, this educational program stars James Lipton as a host of nightly game show where high school age students have to guess whether rules like "Do not abbreviate the word "fort" unless the fort itself has been abbreviated and the couch cushions restored to the sofa" are actually stylistic guidelines, or just some guys messing with you.
