3. I love Denny Crane.

Shatner was made for that role.

6. CONNONYM NAILS IT
Mr. Shatner is able to reinvent himself time and time again because he never takes himself seriously, relieving us of the duty to do the same. We can just ENJOY! :thumbsup:

5. His Get A Life sketch on SNL was hilarious.
And I love Star Trek; I guess the hardcore trekkies have no sense of humor.

11. Shatner is quite beyond the likes and dislikes of mere mortals.
He is an elemental force of hamminess, whose self-deprecating charm is exceeded only by an ego massive enough to warp nearby space.

What does it matter how I feel? The slow wheeling of the galaxy about his center of gravity will continue until the heat death of the universe--which will take the shape of his True Name.

12. I love the shat....
And once he figured out that if he made fun of himself it would make him a ton more money, everyone won.

14. He could have faded into obscurity, but avoided that fate
There's a lesson to be learned here, he seems like a fun guy to hang with, I have to admire him. This is one of those few people whose career has sustained since I was a kid lying on the floor with the neighbors, watching Star Trek.

17. Watch the Shatner roast on Comedy Central sometime
Wow! They were amazingly vicious to him, but he gave it right back.

18. I love him. I always have. I can't, however, call him "Shat" or "The Shat"
Who wants to associate William Shatner with the past tense of a smelly bodily function?

24. I love him
He does everything...acting, music, writing (he's written several sci-fi novels). He's sort of attained a new coolness in this time of his life. Good for him. :-)
