My Dad Says<\/em>. &#8220;It&#8217;s really good,&#8221; he said of the comedy. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got a wonderful cast. And, as superb actors and as wonderful people as they are, the joy I have is the people producing. <strong>Max Mutchnick <\/strong>and<strong> David Kohan<\/strong> are producer-writers and they&#8217;ve gathered a team of very funny people, and striving to make it funnier is a real kick. Everyone&#8217;s interested in making the show better and funnier and giving it some meaning and discovering as we go along.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>The Captains <\/em>will release next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ever-busy William Shatner gave an update on the highly-anticipated documentary, The Captains, which will&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2421],"tags":[2414,3287],"class_list":["post-11001","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-tos","tag-shatner","tag-the-captains"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-tos\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: TOS<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: TOS","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11001","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11001"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11001\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11004,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11001\/revisions\/11004"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11001"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11001"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11001"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
