Shameless Season 11 Episode 5
“One again it’s up to Frank Gallagher to save the neighborhood.”
At several points season 11 of Shameless has reminded me of Weeds’s messy final year. This is not a positive comparison, but Shameless’s “Slaughter” creates several parallels between these Showtime series and the dissolution of their central families. Weeds doesn’t end on a perfect note, but its finale at least attempts something deeply ambitious. Shameless is headed down similar territory with its characters, but it’s not a show that’s ever stylistically rocked the boat. This has led to a final season that has largely felt aimless, which is true to life sometimes, especially when the majority of a series’ characters are caught in ruts.
This can be an exciting way to explore character development and push individuals forward when it happens early on or in the...

We don't have to worry about Shameless being cancelled by Showtime this time around. The cable channel already announced that the series would be ending back when it was renewed for an 11th season. Could the show be revived for season 12 someday, ala the upcoming Dexter revival? Stay tuned.
Airing on Sunday nights, Shameless stars William H. Macy, Jeremy Allen White, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Emma Kenney, Cameron Monaghan, Christian Isaiah, Noel Fisher, and Kate Miner. The show follows alcoholic father Frank Gallagher (Macy) and his resilient, self-reliant kids who scramble to survive. The 11th season finds the Gallagher family and the South Side at a crossroads, with changes caused by the Covid pandemic, gentrification and aging to reconcile. As Frank confronts his own mortality and family ties in his alcoholic and drug-induced twilight years, Lip (White) struggles with the...

Forrest Gump has nothing on Frank Gallagher. Shameless‘ 11th and final season kicked off on Sunday with the patriarch dubiously inserting his family into the history of Chicago as a university student filmed his lies. But who needs the past when the Gallaghers are currently living through a historical time?

If you missed Shameless last year, there is no reason to worry. A cast member or two will be ready at the top of Dec. 6’s premiere to curse you for being the spoiled suburban princess that you are.
But as enjoyable as every season of irrepressible Gallagher behavior can be, there’s little denying that each year features something so Shameless that it dwarfs the rest of the bad behavior that came before it. These are moments that are so crass in their unapologetic depravity that they transcend being more broken furniture on the South Side, and instead become a true work of Gallagher (or Milkovich) art. There are quite a few of these Gallagher-ups, but we’ve boiled it down to the 15 essentials ahead of the final season.

The episodic comedy TV series "Shameless", adapting creator Paul Abbott's Brit sitcom, stars William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum, premiering its eleventh and final season December 6, 2020 on Showtime:
"...'Frank Gallagher' is a useless, alcoholic single father of six.
"He spends his days drunk or in search of misadventures...
"...and his children learn to take care of themselves.
"Now it’s last call for The Gallaghers and you’re invited to the party to end all parties. 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,...

Frank Gallagher wants to make American dangerous again — or at least his little corner of it — in the trailer for the 11th and final season of Showtime’s Shameless.
Other hot topics in the trailer above include V and Kev differing on how to embrace the legalized-weed economy, and “Gallovich” needing to arrive at a “mutual understanding” of how their nascent marriage will work.

All good things must come to an end. All debauched things too. Which may explain how we’re here, staring at the Great Beyond for the Gallagher Brood of Shameless. Aye, two seasons after Emmy Rossum left the series as one of its ostensible lead characters, Fiona Gallagher, the series itself is resuming production and winding down in the age of Covid. That doesn’t mean it won’t go out swinging and drinking though!

Who knows what the world might have been up to during Covid-19 without Netflix? Many of us are still encouraged to remain indoors, but at least we get a steady stream of content in this strange period of history. Moreso than the other streaming networks, Netflix releases a healthy amount of fresh titles almost every day and they’ve recently added some neat TV shows that are well worth your time.
First up is season 10 of Showtime’s Shameless. The incredibly popular adaptation of the British sitcom stars William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher and is the longest-running original scripted series in Showtime’s history. Shameless has already been renewed for one final season, which was due to air around now but has been delayed due to Covid-19, but if you want to catch up with the Gallaghers, now’s the perfect time to do it.

For a show I wrote off during the first few episodes of the season, Shameless Season 10 Episode 12 managed to course correct the series in a way I didn't think possible.
It was all thanks to Ian and Mickey's wedding. If you watch Shameless online, you know nothing brings the Gallaghers together like a wedding, and it was perfect.
Ian and Mickey's relationship will forever be a big part of the show's DNA, and part of its success is in the way the couple has been written.
There have been needless hurdles thrown at for them in the latter years, but the wedding was as perfect as they could have hoped for given the circumstances.
Mickey's homophobic father being out to ruin the day was no surprise -- Mickey comes from a long line of men who married men, but none of them were romantically involved.
Those pairings have happened so...

Shameless Season 10 Episode 6
“There’s no room for sentiment in business.”
This season of Shameless has jumped all over the place in terms of its storytelling. It’s now at the half-way point and while there have been definite growing pains for these characters, one of the common denominators this year is that the need for money is making these people do crazy things. This has been a sliding scale of craziness so far, but that’s now been pushed to an extreme place. I was nearly expecting Frank Gallagher to pop out of a closing iris at the end of the episode and declare, “Th-Th-Th-That’s all folks!”

When the creators reflect on the early success of Brassic, a frenetic British comedy that lit up the schedules of Sky, their minds turn to the man who started it all: actor Dominic West.
David Livingstone, the founder of Brassic producer Calamity Films, was making British indie film Pride when West approached him with an idea. During their time on set, West was dazzled by the wild stories of his co-star Joe Gilgun’s misadventures, and told Livingstone that he should consider bringing them to the screen.
“Dominic West called me over and said, ‘You should listen to these stories. Joe is the funniest person I’ve ever met, you should make it into a TV show,'” Livingstone recalls. “I said, ‘I’ve never made a TV show, but I’ll make it if you’ll be in it.'”

The sh*tshow must go on! In the trailer for season 10 of Shameless, we see the Gallagher family functioning without Emmy Rossum's Fiona for the first time ever. Despite the family matriarch leaving the South Side of Chicago in the season nine finale, there's absolutely no lack of drama for Frank Gallagher's offspring.
Debbie has assumed the role of head of household, and it looks like she's filled her closet up with designer fashion, presumably with the money Fiona left her. Lip struggles with the duties of fatherhood, and Carl might have his own little Gallagher on the way. Cameron Monaghan and Noel Fisher return to the series as Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich - aka Gallavich - as they navigate their complicated relationship in different, closer quarters in prison. As always, Frank's debauchery is at the center of it all.

Worst dads on tv and film
Homer Simpson, “The Simpsons”
Homer Simpson is TV’s most famous dad but not exactly a role model. He may be good at heart but some of his favorite past times include drinking, laying on the couch, and strangling his son Bart whenever he gets out of line.
Daniel Plaineview, “There Will Be Blood”
Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis) says it straight out, “he’s an oilman”; he puts family second behind his own greed. That becomes abundantly clear as his relationship deteriorates with his adopted son throughout the movie.
Al Bundy, “Married With Children”
Ed O’Neill was a very different kind of family man on “Married With Children” than he is now on “Modern Family.” Al’s cynical outlook on life has a hard time not having an effect on his kids.

It kind of depends on what you’ve seen him in when it comes to how you feel about William H. Macy. The overall consensus is that he’s a great actor but some of his characters have been truly despicable to say the least. Possibly the worst among them that people still tend to like is Frank Gallagher from Shameless. He plays the patriarch of the family who’s almost always drunk, in need of a drink, or trying to bum a drink off of someone. Frank’s just about the worst father you could ask for since in the past he’s rarely

How much of a guilty (or shameless) pleasure is the ninth season of the Shameless TV show on Showtime? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Shameless is cancelled or renewed for season 10. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we'd like to offer you the chance to rate all of the Shameless season 10 episodes. **Status update below.

For a while last year, it looked like the Shameless TV show might be cancelled by Showtime. Eventually though, Emmy Rossum's contract was resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Although there was no such agita ahead of the ninth season, Rossum has announced this will be her final turn as fierce Fiona Gallagher. Does this mean the whole clan will pack it in, too? Last fall, William H. Macy indicated the end may well be nigh. Will Shameless be cancelled or renewed for season 10? If it is renewed, will it end there? Stay tuned. **Status update below.

Some may claim to have no shame, but premium cable is in a class by itself. Today, Showtime announced it has renewed its Shameless TV show for a tenth season. The renewal comes despite falling ratings and the fact that female lead Emmy Rossum is leaving the series at the end of season nine. In addition, TV Guide reports Cameron Monaghan, who left the dark dramedy during the first half of the ninth, will return as Ian Gallagher for the show's tenth season.

It's hard to believe that the show about our favorite dysfunctional family just went into its ninth season. For nearly a decade, we've tuned in to Shameless to watch the Gallaghers attempt to navigate their controversial schemes and unfathomable debacles. We've seen the craziest plot lines, from Frank Gallagher attempting to seduce his own daughter to Liam's kidnapping. It's safe to say the show is a nonstop shock fest, and we expect season nine will feature no shortage of unimaginable drama and cringeworthy twists.
Through the years, we've watched Lip Gallagher and Kevin Ball glow up into two sexy studs, but the entire cast has truly undergone a complete transformation. While we continue to enjoy the season nine antics, we're looking back on the cast through the years, and you won't believe the changes. Keep reading for the side-by-side comparisons.

Who's Shamelessly in love? The family and love lives of the characters on Showtime's hit series Shameless may be dysfunctional onscreen, but in real life, many of the cast are pretty functional: Happily married, dating and parents to adorable kids—or expecting! For example, Emmy Rossum, who is set to soon leave her role as Fiona Gallagher (sniff!), has been married to Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail since 2017. Several of her Shameless co-stars, including William H. Macy and Jeremy Allen White, attended their wedding. Macy, who plays patriarch Frank Gallagher on the show, has himself been married to actress Felicity Huffman for...

Shameless goes to the polls tonight, and the results are perhaps not what you expect!
This Shameless review contains spoilers.
Shameless Season 9 Episode 4
So Shameless got political tonight. Or at least more so than usual, as the congressional election for Chicago’s Southside was apparently held in roughly late May/early June (the school year still isn’t over), and Mo White went back to Congress and back to being the creepy pervert. This is America.
It’s a bleak message, but fitting for the show and perhaps fitting for our times as Mo White’s ascension is meant to parallel beat by beat Donald Trump’s surprise electoral college victory. And given the last week and likely destiny of our Supreme Court, the success of predatory white aggrievement seems inescapable. But why revel in the pessimism? Most of “Do Right, Vote White!” was a darkly hilarious affair, so let...

Shameless Season 9 Episode 3
Last week, we considered just exactly what kind of patrons the Alibi has when, despite being on the South Side, there is apparently not one non-white person present on V’s day off—or even after knowing Frank Gallagher for decades they’d still put bread in his jar and actually believe they were funding a real political campaign. It would seem the Shameless writers embraced this paradox head on in the “Weirdo Gallagher Vortex,” suggesting the Gallaghers aren’t the only weird ones on the series’ version of Chi-town’s inner-city.
Tonight it makes more sense that the Alibi’s clientele would unanimously chant “Mo White” (and not be referring the pedophilic politician’s name either) when we discover the Alibi is...

(To my real parents, I apologize in advance.) William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman have been working the red carpet on each other's arms for over 20 years, but during Monday night's Emmys, they had me Googling adoption legality for a 26-year-old. The longtime lovers posed for photos before the highly anticipated award show, looking exceptionally dapper in matching black suits. William and Felicity leaned on each other, giving the Men in Black a run for their money.
William is nominated for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for his role as a much less dapper Frank Gallagher in Shameless. Read on to see William and Felicity's swoon-worthy photos from the Emmys, and prepare for some seriously cool poses from our award season mom and dad.

Frank Gallagher is, at his core, ideologically opportunistic. He will be whatever he needs to be in order to get ahead, shifting his beliefs in whichever direction is necessary to scam a place to stay or scratch together a few bucks. We’re meant to find this kind of behavior abhorrent, I think, but at the same time …...

Donald Glover wants to keep the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at home in Atlanta this year… but a few other funny men would like to help it relocate.
Glover topped this category last year, and he’s back again for Season 2 of FX’s ambitious comedy. (And if he submits “Teddy Perkins,” he’s a shoo-in to repeat.) But five other contenders are vying to take the prize, including two holdovers from last year’s field: William H.

William H. Macy received his fifth Emmy nomination in 2018 for playing Frank Gallagher, the outright horrible father of the Gallagher clan on “Shameless.” In total Macy has received a whopping 14 Emmy nominations for his work as an actor, writer, and producer. He won for two of those nominations back in 2003 for his acting and writing the TV movie “Door to Door.” While he has yet to take home an Emmy for “Shameless,” he has won the Screen Actors Guild Award three times. But it’s his film career for the focus of our photo gallery above, so take a tour of Macy’s 15 greatest movies, ranked from worst to best.

It may sound like a natural arc; after a long, successful career, and with a mantel filled with awards and honors, it’s finally time to contemplate retirement. But for many veteran actors the idea of quietly shuffling off stage as they hit their 60s holds zero appeal. In fact, they seem to be working harder than ever. So what have they learned throughout their careers that has helped them maintain that hunger and longevity?
For Ed Harris, now celebrating his third Emmy nom, this time for “Westworld,” it’s a simple equation. “If you want to keep working, you need to stay in good shape physically and mentally,” he says. “And as the years go by, it’s important to stay relaxed, focused, and not take things too seriously. You have to remember that eventually, none of this stuff’s going to matter one way or another. So you...

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that William H. Macy is entering the “Shameless” episode “Sleepwalking” as his Emmy submission for Best Comedy Actor. This installment aired January 28 and was the 12th episode of the eighth season for the Showtime show.
In this segment, Frank Gallagher (Macy) is planning a robbery of Dylan’s house when he leaves on vacation as “one more big score.” He recommends to Fiona that she should “burn out” her unwanted tenants. Frank is impressed by the work done by son Liam on getting the alarm code for Dylan’s house. But it’s a fake, so he takes as many items as possible before the police start chasing him.

1. “Orange Is the New Black” Season 6 (available July 27)
Why Should I Watch? Every single season of Netflix’s genre-bending hourlong series has been nominated for an Emmy — multiple Emmys, really. The first season snagged 12 nominations and three wins, and the fourth season still pulled in three nominations, even after years of debate over what genre it belongs in, switching categories, and increased competition. That’s probably because Jenji Kohan’s prison drama tells a compelling array of personal stories that come together to drive a timely modern narrative. It’s challenging, daring material that doesn’t always work, but strives to push its story into exciting new arenas. It’s television worth talking about, and that’s hard to come by, even in the peak TV era.
Bonus Reason: So much has been made about the talented ensemble in “Orange Is the New Black,” and so much of the credit...

As more and more TV shows from both sides of the aisle find a home in the ever-broadening definition of “dramedy,” viewers are treated to actors giving some of the most raw and emotional performances we have seen in the medium, and often in shows labelled comedies.
This Emmy season alone, we have watched stand-out performances from such past nominees as William H. Macy as the softie shyster Frank Gallagher on Showtime’s “Shameless” and Anthony Anderson as Dre Johnson, a father realizing that his own marriage is fragile in ABC’s “Black-ish.” There are also newcomers, including Freddie Highmore as Shaun Murphy, the titular autistic savant in ABC’s “The Good Doctor” (a performance that won praise from the Autism Society in Los Angeles), and Jason Mitchell as Brandon Johnson, a promising chef from the streets of Chicago who is navigating old and new worlds in Showtime’s “The Chi.

Shameless is a hit comedy-drama series that is aired on Showtime. It is a remake of the British series of the same name that was created by Paul Abbott. In the United States, the series is now in its ninth season and this makes it the longest-running original scripted series in the history of Showtime. The series revolves around a dysfunctional family, led by the single dad of six Frank Gallagher. While some of the actors in the series already had an established career in acting prior to joining the series, there are others for whom this series has been

The Scandinavian/Swedish style of comedy continues to be adopted by American television stations, and “Steps” is another effort in that direction. Basically, Swedish comedy tends to be darker and more offbeat than the more traditional sitcom formats. ShowTime’s “Shameless” is a good example of Swedish comedy, as it combines the darker side of a dysfunctional family with the single parent father (Frank Gallagher) still present but the oldest daughter (Fiona) running the home. “Steps” can be presumed to be an abbreviated title for a variety of relationship steps: stepfather, stepmother, step child. The “step mix” is the result of four

With a population of over 2.7 million, Chicago is a dynamic and diverse city, which makes it the perfect backdrop for many TV shows, especially cop and medical dramas!
Some shows use the city as just a setting, while others dig right into the core of the city, hoping to capture its essence.
No one series has a "correct" depiction — they are all stories seen through various characters, experiencing different situations in the many, versatile neighborhoods.
But, one thing that they all have in common? An undying love for the city; their Chicago. If you've been to Chicago you've probably heard the phrase, "Chicago is the new Hollywood."
Truthfully, Chicago will never churn out as many TV shows as Hollywood, and it doesn't want to; the rise in shows signifies everyone can find something to relate to in the city of Chicago.
