I looked for a title that had some other kind of character, and found a show called "$99 Gold Driver with Free 3 Wood" (sounds riveting). When I enter "99" in my search window, the $99..." program appears among the options. I am guessing that when the time comes, one could enter "My Dad Says" and the Shat show will appear. You can also search for programs with William Shatner and find $H*! that way. Or maybe they will let you just enter "Shit My Dad Says" -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
