Shatner is a great Canadian icon and I have a lot of respect for the man and how he's worked the industry he's in.

Shatner's career took a hard hit when he played a character that developed such a huge fan base. "Trekies" are serious people. Shatner became fused with that role.
He had to do something to break out of that, and being silly seemed to do it.
In a way, it reminds me of Leslie Nielson. He was a serious actor for a long time, then his career hit a bump or two. He came back as a "comic actor" and made a lot of movies. Silly movies, but I do imagine they paid the mortgage.
