Schneebored 0 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 WTF. How will that work. Shameless is class because of the Mancs. Without the Mancs it is not Shameless. Silly Americans. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Can someone explain? Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Klingon "Shameless" is an English show depicting the day to day life of a very dysfunctional family and the people around it living in council flats. The father is an alcoholic drug abusing womaniser and his kids are a shambolic mix of high achievers, petty crooks but all generally good people. Even the villians are likeble. Well worth a watch!

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Pie, Shameless is pretty good. I haven't watched a lot but I did like the few episodes I saw Link to post Share on other sites
Mintyjulep 0 Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Have to say the Brits did do one show badly - their version of outrageous fortune is terrible. Skins has also been remade (word for word pretty much) by MTV it looks terrible Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Shameless is legend! The American version is going to be a flop... not because there aren't white trash losers in America but because the actor they have to play Frank is William H. Macy. I realize he is a loser but I don't think he can play a drunken loser like Frank Gallagher This is the real Frank Gallagher Link to post Share on other sites
