Agreed. Definitely one of my new favorite shows on television. Great dialogue, great storylines (though it's stilll a bit hard to pinpoint from episode to episode where it's going) and great acting too. William H. Macy was tailor made for this role I think. Best character I've seen him play yet. The rest of the cast do a fine job of portraying their eccentric characters also. Very refreshing show really.

It's the epitome of a dysfunctional family trying to make ends meet with the eldest sibling making sure they pay their bills on time, get to school on time, etc. while having to deal with an alcoholic father who abandons them- not out of love, but because he's consumed by his own disease. The kids make a strong case for what a family should be when they don't have parents and they don't have money. A very good show indeed. |

I don't think he will succumb to her intentions though. This is a family in a messed up situation that is trying to do the right thing. He didn't act upon her sexual invitation because he knew it was the wrong thing to do. For once in his life, he's getting awesome cooking, a warm bed to sleep, and a sexual partner that has some pretty weird demands and habits. But he'd rather take her toys up the ass just to have a warm bed, great food, and a chair by the TV where none of his kids are bothering him. That is why he didn't jump into the tub with her. It was a true test of his will.

Alot of Brits are up in arms over us "Yanks" ripping off yet another of their TV series. "Shameless" premiered on British Channel 4 back in 1994. Just like "The Office", the events in US version is following the UK version practically scene for scene.
Here's Episode 1 Season 1 UK style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2hy_jQZ7w8 |

My friend writes for the show, so I'm glad people are responding well. Early reviews were not kind. I still haven't seen it, but it's nice to hear people are loving it.
