10 TV Shows Star Trek Actors Want You To Forget
7. #hashtaggers - William Shatner
Hashtaggers is the extrememly short-lived online series that was E! Online's first foray into scripted television. It was set in the E! offices, based around the social media team who are hired by celebrities to help them achieve success online.
William Shatner appears as himself, looking to create an epic online rant against...man buns. While that particular hairstyle has its fans and many, many, many haters, the episode was meant to be a comedic take on the older generation struggling to accept the newest trends.
The series bombed, receiving extremely poor reviews. It currently stands at about 4.5 stars on IMDB and finding any reviews at all was a challenge. Shatner hasn't publicised it in the five years its been since the episode aired, so that tells us quite a bit about his reaction to the piece. All respect to the man for attempting to stay in with the latest trends, yet this show was a swing and a miss - a far cry from the heights of his last success, Boston Legal.
