- TriviaUnusual 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.
- GoofsThe Gallaghers constantly refer to their address as North Wallace St. There is no North Wallace St. in Chicago, only South Wallace. Also, streets on the south side do not have "North" as part of their name, hence north side and south side. However, since it is a fictional series, the name of the Gallaghers' home street makes sense so as to not offend anyone living on a real-life street of Chicago.

Mickey Milkovich: I don't have any ideas.
Featured review
Yet another great show ruined by the american culture war.
I don't watch shows like these to be lectured on American politics, and neither does the vast majority of people from the general sentiment I've read, so why do so many shows decide to go in this direction is beyond me.
I had to stop half way through season 9 as it got unbearable, with social issues being mixed with an incoherent plot and pretty much no comedy at all. Apparently seasons 10-11 are even worse in this regard. The first 6 seasons are great though, with 7-8 being mediocre but still watchable enough as you want to see what happens to the characters.
Overall the show is definitely worth watching so it deserves a solid 6/10 rating, just avoid the last 3 seasons like the plague.
