In the April edition of Sci Magazine (the magazine of the Sci Fi television channel), The Shatner Show is given an "A" by reviewer Adam-Troy Castro. "This jaw-dropping cultural artifact is the aftermath of an exhibition where artists from across Canada [and the USA] were invited to address the impact of one of  [Canada's] most enduring exports, the often-praised, often-imitated and often-derided actor who found fame for taking all those pauses during those speeches on the original Star Trek..."

Mackenzie sent me this great photo showing Mark Gervais' Shatner Show piece in their home. It would be fun to see where the other Shatners have landed... if you purchased The Shatner Show artwork or book, send me a digital photo of how you live with Shatner and I'll post it online in March in honour of Bill's 77th birthday.

The Shatner Show book is now available through Diamond Comic Distribution!

This book showcases 80 original renditions of pure, unadulterated "Shatnerescence," ranging from beatific and noble Captain Kirks of yore to the contemporary dietary-fibre advocate. There's also an impressive assortment of "Rock-it" Men, Denny Cranes, and T.J. Hookers, an anthropomorphic feline "Chat-ner," Lego-sculpture Shatners, and much, much more.

The Shatner Show has raised $3000 towards Mr. Shatner's charity, the Hollywood Horse Show. This charity assists children with disabilities and provides therapeutic riding. We received a letter from Bill:

 

The Shatner Show book is in "The Good Book" section of this month's Step magazine:

And is mentioned in Swerve magazine's 3-year anniverary update issue:
