Shameless (2011)
After a decade of dysfunction, the South Side's favorite clan is going out with the biggest bang ever. It's going to be a wild last ride, but changes are coming that will force each of them to either step up or hit the road. And while devolving may come more naturally than evolving in a family where excess never gets old, they know one thing for certain -- Gallaghers may grow up, but they'll never grow apart.

    Storyline

    Edit
    Watch the Irish American family the Gallaghers dealing with their alcoholic father Frank. Fiona, the eldest daughter, takes the role of the parent to her five brothers and sisters. Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam deal with life on the South Side of Chicago. Fiona balances her sex life and raising her siblings. Every episode is another crazy situation that one or more of the Gallagher six get into. Watch them grow and learn how to make their way in life with what little they have. —Linda Taylor

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Unusual for a television show, creator John Wells has a very strict policy of no scripts allowed on-set. The actors and actresses have to know their lines by heart.
    • Goofs
      Kevin is seen dispensing beer out of a Shiner Bock tap at the Alibi throughout the series. Shiner Bock is a dark lager. The beer being dispensed from the tap is a pale lager.

      Mickey Milkovich: All right shithead, this is like the two hundredth time I'm calling and you not picking up! I'm starting to get fucking homicidal. Call me the fuck back, Ian! I'm worried about you. I love you. Call me back.

    Why??
    I have loved this show for 10 years, but season 11 sucks! I don't even know what to say about it. Apparently the writers think the show is over because all they can do is compile scenes from previous episodes. There have been a couple of eps that were really interesting and moved the story along, but that's all. Shame on the writers for letting down their loyal fans.
