The show did not go over well with critics, to say the least. It has [[http://www.metacritic.com/tv/bleep-my-dad-says/season-1...html a 28 rating]] on Metacritic. It was cancelled after one season. It's pretty comparable with another similar flop, ''LivingWithFran''.

* WellDoneSonGuy: The driving force of the series (and twitter account).

* SelectiveSquick: Parodied in-universe; Bonnie berates Ed for hitting on a [[MsFanservice scantly clad well endowed woman]] in which moments later she gleefully admires a young man's muscular abs.

* AdvertisingCampaigns: During the original airing of the show's pilot, special ads for the WallStreet sequel [[WallStreet Money Never Sleeps]] - which would open the next day - were headlined "$#*! Gordon Gekko Says".

* {{Expy}}: Ed is very similar to CBS's other crazy bastard, [[KingOfQueens Arthur Spooner]]

* RascallyRaccoon: At 5 in the morning, Ed grabs a raccoon by the tail and swings it around and into his shed after it got into his garden cucumbers. The same raccoon becomes a BrickJoke late in te episode.

* ActorAllusion: In the pilot, his son Henry imitates him with long pauses. Ed (Shatner) says, "Why can't anyone ever do a good imitation of me?"
** When asking what song there is for Ed to sing Karaoke, "Rocketman" is suggested to him. Luckily, he refuses.
** In another episode, Ed slides across the hood of a car, reminiscent of [[TJHooker Shatner's other big TV series]].

* NotableCommercialCampaigns: During the original airing of the show's pilot, special ads for the WallStreet sequel [[WallStreet Money Never Sleeps]] - which would open the next day - were headlined "$#*! Gordon Gekko Says".

* RefugeInVulgarity: Very noticeable in the show as the subtlety of sex or genital jokes is lacking.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: It's right there in the title.

* FetishFuel: Katie, who was Henry's girlfriend for one episode, with her being a mild example of the dominatrix type.
