Just started watching this show - LOVE IT!!!

Here's a clip from the second episode when William H. Macy goes on a rant about Canada. Funny stuff.

 
From what I can tell they really censor the show to make it airable (?). You should see it uncensored, very hilarious. They are actually in season 2 now which I just downloaded.
Frank uses his baby as collateral for a bet payment.
 
I love this show also. Season one has started on CityTv. It is better uncensored for sure. The season 2 episode where Frank wants to marry 'Butterface' so he can get her pension is classic! He is truly Shameless!
 
It's actually based on a British show of the same name... Season 8 aired last fall.

I've watched both... Although I'm originally from the UK, I prefer the US version... Emmy Rossum, Yum!

Great show, I agree, the US version is far superior to the UK version. I watched a few seasons to compare. The girl who plays Fiona (actually, I didn't find her attractive in any way) can't hold a candle to Emmy Rossum Plus it has William H Macy, who is a great actor.
 
If you get the Movie Network on cable, season 1 and 2 are available on demand, uncensored of course.
 
I've only seen season 1, and I liked it.

But it seemed unrealistic: struggling, hot girl who has the family do questionable things to make money, and has a best friend who's in "sex" business. How is she not yet a stripper, or something more? The show is called Shameless!
 
you guys who think that the US version is better than the Brit version have obviously been dipping into the wacky tabacky. I know of at least 2 episodes of the Yank version that were lifted word for word from the Brit one, including the pilot. The copying of the names to be exact is also stupid, I mean a black baby named Liam Gallagher!!! really now??

I didn't say US version is "better", I said that I "prefer" it. I find the US characters more "likable".

I don't find anything to like in the British Frank, he's an asshole, through and through... Can't imagine how any woman would want to sleep with him, let alone a hot sixteen year old...

That being said, I guess the British characters do live-up to the shows name more... they are truly "shameless". I just don't find it entertaining.
