Happy Holidays from William Shatner!

[walgar2]

Greetings William Shatner. Thank you for a heartfelt holiday message. Yes, things are indeed cyclical. The pendulum is swinging the other way. However, the antithesis of stimulus spending is austerity measures. Heaven help us all if the powers at be tighten the purse strings. Can you see the riots in Europe? My fear is that we still need to pay the piper, so to speak, and that the worst is not yet over. I hope for the best, however.

Sincerely ... Walter Garbotz, Ontario, Canada

[ksp62562]

Same to you, Captain!

[aldentesolo]

I would love to have coffee with Bill.

[applebuttfacehead]

shatner cant be president hes cnadian

[sipnordic]

Is Shatner drunk....again?

[shimokita2]

@sipnordic - Is Shatner a big drinker? I always suspected that he was since his face is always so puffy and round looking.

[Cioara]

William Shatner for President of Earth!!

[DavidMed58]

Priceline Negotiator!! : DD

[mjp2501]

I'm 58 years old, watched Shatner from the very first. Of all the Star Trek captains, Shatner still remains #1, with Patrick Stewart at #2.

If I could ask Bill Shatner a question, it would be WHY no more Boston Legal, that was and is, one of the best shows ever mad period.

Best of luck to Captain Kirk, and may you have many more years in the Command Seat of the USS Enterprise.

[Knight88188]

Mr. Shatner FTW

[ThreeWishesTooMany]

"And... the blood vessels all react to that breath of oxygen..."

Oh, Mr. Shatner, I love you. xPP

[gardenofskeetn]

oh shit, it looks like 2009 sucked ass too. maybe things will get better next year, or the year after that. PRICELINE NEGOTIATOR!

[senorgaus]

Never question the Priceline Negotiator!! :D

[evegpt]

The only democrat I ever really liked. LOL

No wonder there is just a touch of tense between him and Jon V. Seems Mr Bill is an Obama follower. HMMM

[babyinblack]

Well said, Shatner :)

Beautiful sentiment, and it's true, everyday is precious and so is our very existance :).

[ATVmidlands5581]

William Shatner for president!

He can be Prime minister for Great Britain too!

Mr.Shatner

I never knew of Star Trek until I saw Wrath Of Khan when I was 4.Since then you've really inspired me and I have become the ulitimate Trekkie.

[RabbitDance]

Thank you.

[JohnWayneIsTheMan]

Thank you, Bill.

[jcline87]

you da man bill

[clintbronson5]

Thanks Bill! My girlfriend has left me after two years and I am depressed. I needed that boost and am glad you take the time to do this for fans of your work (like myself)...Well this is our only way of seeing the real you!

You and your family have a great 2009 as well!

[EricMillinerMartinez]

Shut up, no one cares about your life story. Fuck you and your family and I realize why your girlfriend left you.

[MusicManiacRox]

lol

[AnonYmous17]

Dear Mr Shatner,

Although I am not an American (I'm from Europe), and even though spring has already begun and it's not the start of 2009 anymore, your well-wishes of joy and health have touched my heart. I am beginning a new chapter in my life by going to Japan to study for nearly 5 months. I will appreciate what I have, my health and joy.

Thank you so much.

[Mortuvir]

Bill, you rock. I'm staying positive too!

[Frye666]

That was great Bill! You are the man! Thank U!

[MadPutz]

Shatner is interviewed in the new documentary Transcendent Man, his interview is even quoted in the trailer. The trailer is on youtube, just type in "transcendent man trailer". Great man, great mind.

[shitcasecinema]

Well said Will, good stuff. Legend.

[Estreet321]

Thank you Mr Shatner for putting this message out there. It gives me hope that our country will become a better one in the future. I like to look on the bright side of things and seeing this video really gives me comfort.

[Freedom544]

I like your role as the Big Jaint Head. :)

[shinio1]

Mr Shatner: My father passed in 1991,he was a WWII Jewish war vet and in his last moments he thought Spock and Kirk were there with him.We thought he was nuts.Years later we understand better.You created charachters that brought people comfort on levels and in ways beyond simple words.Thanks.Zol zayn mit mazel. David

[AnonYmous17]

what a beautiful and moving comment, you made. :) may your father rest in peace.

[crmfghtr]

That was indeed a touching quote, the characters they created are practically mythical, wonderful. Thanks for sharing that

[waltandrus]

Dear Mr Shatner, I enjoy your new program! You are a great interviewer with great insite.

Thanks for posting the New Year Greeting! My Mom just passed so,Thanks for the inspiration.

[battlestarvfx]

Mr. Shatner, nothing would make a lot of us happier than for you to take the pledge and become a full on American Citizen.

Please consider it. I can't wait to get back home myself, and I live in Vancouver.

[PayPalJunkie]

Bill...your the greatest ever...best wishes for new year...health and happiness to all :)

[angrygrunt]

Awesome! I realize I'm a little late, but thanks.

[jgeorgel]

This is a class, class man. I just wish all you people would appreciate this national treasure while we still have him. He can't get enough awards in my book. They should give him Emmys retroactive for his classic, timeless work on Star Trek.

[guibriggs]

Thank you for your talent, Bill. I´m your fan since my childhood. Today, I´m an actor, work with dubbing, voice acting (I´m the voice of Buzz Lightyear, Indiana Jones, Han Solo, and other characters and started my carrer doing Star Trek, dubbing the original series em 1991 for DVD and TNG, doing WORF´s voice) and you and Leonard are one of my main inspiration. I love you both, and wish you all the best in this new year. Guilherme Briggs, from BRAZIL.

[jakrueg2pbg]

Stay positive my friend you are so right!

[FLAME4564]

good on ya Mr Shatner :D i wish u and ur family the best of luck for the future :)

[cinderskenney]

Thank you Mr. Shatner! You are the best! It's going to be an even better year knowing you and your family are happy and healthy! :)

[Imboredandfree]

That's lovely Bill. A wonderfully worded message of hope to everyone. Cheers ;):)

[JRahmani84]

Very well-spoken and well-taken. To you as well, Mr. Shatner, and your family, a very good new year!

[gardenalien]

You are so right Mr Shatner, we tend to forget the important things in our lives, good health and happiness. Possessions can be replaced. We should value more a daily lives and we should count our blessing more often.

[toriElena]

Happy new year and best wishes Mr Shatner to you and your lovely family. :-)

[dash1141]

I love that man.

[GeminiAzules]

happy new year. I want to try that clean air thing. Does anyone have some they can send me?

[petrutek]

hey super Bill! HAPPY NEW YEAR! u r the best!

[Rowdyeh]

Happy New Year to you and yours, Bill! Cheers!

[CoolDojo9000]

Happy New Year from Canada. Some of you may want to check out Peter Schiff's views on the economy, who has been predicting this crisis for many years. May want to divest your assets denominated in USD. Devaluation.

[chemicalfire89]

Happy New Year to you too, and good luck with all of your future endeavors! You have been and continue to be an inspiration to me through your various roles. Best wishes from NC.

[sweetlurch]

[Ivansvideocollection]

Best Wishes to you for a great New Year Mr Shatner!

[biggscoop]

I understand you brought out your own range of fashionable clothing for men. I can picture the tv ad. Woman asks man why he is walking funny....voice over guy says "Shatner Pants". Woman gives man understanding nod.

(if i ever see that on tv, i want to be paid)

[816bollox]

.........oh right, i get it now. Shat in yer pants, Shat'n yer pants, SHATNER PANTS

ok - not bad :)

[ahuvahb]

Happy New Year Bill and thanks for the message. x

[39RatRodCoupe]

How true chubby, I wish you get into shape before its lights out for you.

[ChrisL3D]

Happy New Year Bill

[Lonewolfy8Archangel]

Awesome rock on shatner!.

[neomrdo]

Bill, could you please straighten the certificate that hangs on the wall in the background.I tried to listen to your message, but couldnt take my eyes off that darned crooked cert.

[mcguffin1899]

weirdest video i've ever seen, find:

Adam Sandler Dog Police

[GansoBomb]

Happy New Year Bill!

[miklamar]

Mr. Shatner makes some very realistic and practical comments, not sugar-coating our traumatic situation this season. I appreciate his honesty and encouragement.

[PookaPuffin]

Happy New year. Thank you for the wise words.

[dryohansenfromsweden]

happy new year Bill

[lukionxxx]

Wise words. It is indeed all attitude. Thanks Mr. Shatner. Happy New year to you sir.

[JTStarrProductions]

How true.

[dwpool1962]

MERRY CHRISTMAS

[VanhaKarvanaama]

Happy new Year, Bill!

[La33k5]

Happy New Year! My husbands favorite shows are all of the Star Trek ones. You were great in those. Thank you.

[edhobbs444]

Peace to you as well Mr. Schatner! My friends and I wish you another good year.

[AlannTH]

Inachu, 41 years old and so immature, grow up a little and post something positive instead of childish insults.

[inachu]

take a deep breath and lose some weight you fat tard!

[porcu12345]

Happy new year.

[Limey2632]

Hey, that's right. It's the beginning of a new year. Thanks for the kind words and inspirational message of hope as many of us struggle to weather the storm.

Times like these are when we should remember the old saying "If you think you are having a bad day, just try missing one!".

If we are blessed to wake up in the morning we get another bite at life, another chance to change our future and perhaps that of someone around us.

Many thanks Mr. Shatner form a new reader of your site.

[ajhenson532]

Happy New Year from Lexington, KY, Mr. Shatner, to you and your family. Wishing all of you true joy and gratitude for every moment. I agree with you that "attitude is everything" - it makes all the difference in one's experience.

I will miss you as Denny Crane on BL; the "terrace moments" with DC and Alan Shore, and the random gunshots were the best. Thank you for 6 years of premium laughter, and thank God for DVD's! All the best in your new endeavors.

[whalers59]

Happy Holidays and a Great New Year for The Shat and all his fellow fans.

[archulucky]

Happy Holidays everyone, and thank-you Bill and liz for this great fun show on u tube .

[branaginslaw]

is he wearing a wig?

[lorrieatLDP]

Peace and Many Blessings to you and your family in 2009.

[BygPhattyPlus]

Thank you, and I wish you a great belated holiday season, too!

[01110011001010]

Shat, You are the Man !

Yes, the economy is bleak, there are wars and conflicts etc .... but remember the 60's ... we made good from it, potlucks, groups of people socializing... etc. Perhaps there will be less texting and more chatting and meetings .... Happy new Year Mr. Shatner!

[amadeus5889]

Thank you for a kind message.

[theogore]

Anyone else saying this would seem insincere and trite, but coming from Will, it means a helluvalot and makes me smile.

[forEdollar]

Thank you, I really needed that. I've been in better places, your words give me hope.

A friend.

[NynTheCat]

And a very happy new year to you too :)

[CousinoMacul]

I will certainly be celebrating the new year in spite of---nay, BECAUSE OF---the tough times.

Happy Monkey!

[InMyPod]

That was beautiful.

Have an amazing year filled with love, peace and happiness everyone!!!

:-)

[gafeldm]

That was Great. I am passing it along to some friends. Thank You, and May the Force Be With You... Oh, wrong scifi. Hey, if you can have a good laugh with all that O2 going in your blood, then why are you worried about the money. Happy New Year, from Me.

[ZOTWOMAN]

Bill!

Thank you! Your new show is excellent and we appreciate your words of wisdom! You're the best!

Peace!

[DataLady91]

Beautiful wishes for the New Year; thank you so much! All the best right back to you, Bill; and many, many more!

Love always,

[dougnugget]

Happy Holidays to you Sir. I shall miss Denny Crane and love the new talk show.

[Yubi4]

[Thorrgils]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Mr Shatner from a friend that's down-under!

[CalgarSkull]

Thank you Mr.Shatner, Happy Holidays.

[greatlakeskayaker]

I hope on the ascent I can get in an outing on some open water. One good open water outing am I'm good to go!

[jsm555]

He's absolutely correct - the economy goes up and it goes down - that's just the way it works. And besides, once the Obamessiah takes control, the New York Times will declare the recession is over, so 'take a deep breath' is good advice.

[saxzappia]

Obrigado pela menssagem, voce mais uma vez mostra que faz a diferença...e nos mostra o caminho para tambem fazer-mos a diferença..do seu e de muitos amigos,Alberto Zappia,,from Brazil...

[desertbard]

Wow, if you were in a position of influnce, this would have had great value. As an actor, you provide little of substance in these troubled times.

[LeftoverCakes]

My family has been going through a lot of hard times due to the economy, and, however strange it may sound, Mr. Shatner really put my mind at ease.

Thank you Mr. Shatner, and a Happy New Year to you, too.

[ProfessorHuggins]

right on! I hope you and your family have a  happy holiday season and a safe and healthy new year.

[tbear17522]

Bill, Thanks for being a great Capt. Kirk!!!

I got an opportunity to meet you at the 2007 Cherry Hill, NJ Star Trek convention :) You didn't get along w/my mom too well. You have my sympathies LOL. Happy New Year...

[jimkirktrek]

Bill - as you have aged..you have truly grown to understand what is "really" important or what "should" be really important to every one of us.....Humanity. The power of positive thinking is not just talk...it really works and I think you speak volumes with not just words, but your actions. Thanks for being a positive influence in my life.

[kalgal1989]

Thank you Mr. Shatner for cutting through the noise w/ your elegant clarity. See you next year.

[PAYDIRT67]

Same to you Bill, Happy NEW YEAR!

[ataruevan]

May you and yours have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, Mister Shatner! I still have fond memories of your performance at the CNE, years ago.

[trashhook]

very cool!

[windermereFLwatch]

Thanks Bill. 

Great sentiment.

Happy new year.

k.

[JimmyAllenShore]

Happy New Year to you and your family as well.

I hope you take this in the spirit it is given;

When I watch "Denny Crane" I never even think of "James Kirk". That, sir, is a testament to your acting prowess.

[214scifi]

AMEN, BILL SHATNER!!!

[moonblossom15]

Merry Christmas to you too, Mr. Shatner! Thanks for the insight, always appreciated.

[KingJuliusThe1st]

Shat, Merry whatever. I have boldly gone where no one has had the balls to go before. Julius.

[TheRonoShow]

Thanks Bill.  I needed that.

[vidmastr27]

Thanks so much for your Christmas wishes,Mr. Shatner. I agree..things are tough right now but will hopefully soon get better with a new government. I am thankful that my parents are still around but realize that they won't be around forever. So I'm taking a deep breath and thanking the lord for this beautiful day and look forward to next year.

[brisab11]

Happy New Year and yes...the journey continues and it will all be well in the future =)

[T0MMY2GUNS]

Have Good health and an awesome New Year yourself Mr. Shatner! I met you awhile back when you were in Falmouth Playhouse, Cape Cod ma. starring in the play "Death Trap" also Love the Denny Crain character on Boston Legal also! Take care! Pops

[enigma800]

Hi Mr. Shatner, over the past few months I've grown to admire you in many ways. I find you very down to earth, and quite humble. Before seeing you on YouTube, and before watching Raw Nerve, I had thought you had a reuptation for having this enormous ego and an "I'm better than you" persona. However, what I've seen eminating from you is a very down to earth, kind, wise and humble person. You have my complete respect and admiration. Thank you for such a great message in this video!

[98consta98]

It was a tough year indeed and I hope you are right sir.

Best wishes to you and your family.

I also wish this new year will grand you a deal to another new Star Trek film with you in it..

Konsta.

[eoin68]

That was great!

happy holidays!

[babalina]

You are an amazing man, Bill, wish I could have known you personally. Truly, Best wishes to you and your family

Cool, William Shatner is on Youtube. You know its really funny, I know you better as a lawyer then I do as a captain...and even better yet, I know you better from your "I am Canadian" speech then I do as a lawyer.

Very happy to see a legend on the site. Live long and prosper ;)

[dhdHigherCalling]

Thank's Bill for this message to all of your loyal fans out there, for the many years I have watched you in Command of the Starship Enterpize, the movie eppisode's, your playing T.J. Hooker, and the best for last seeing you playing the roll of Denny Crain..!

I am sorry for my hearing that we lost the voice of the Computer Majel Barrett, if any new request's for StarTrek episodes come in I am hopefull that we have enough audio to dub that famillar sounding Computer voice, we all want to hear.?
