If I could only have one TV show to watch it would have to be, hands down, no contest Showtime’s “Shameless” (yeah, that’s right - we get big-time American programs here in Canada..). Still working through the first season, what a joy ride!
Admittedly not for EVERY taste, the rough-and-tumble adventures of the Gallagher family are like a freakin’ rollercoaster – hilarious one moment, exhausting the next. For such outlandish characters, you can actually see real life through their eyes, unless you’ve perhaps lived a life untainted by anything other than roses and sunshine. If you thought Three’s Company was risqué, you may want to pass on this show…
Of course, how bad can it be, when the talents of William H. Macy are on display, and Emmy Rossum creates a character country miles away from her cherubic Christine in the film version of “The Phantom Of The Opera”??
Like the recently departed and profoundly entertaining “Saving Grace”, “Shameless” is a refuge from the schlock that passes for network television these days. Catch an episode, and let me know if you agree…
Chow for now!!

Totally agree! An awesome show, some fine writing and fine acting and oh ya, William H Macy is unbelievable! The network better keep this show going, it gives up hope there may still be a nugget or two worthy of paying for cable as outrageously expensive as cable is!
Them damn greedy heartless cable companies...
