It’s been awhile since I watched the first three episodes, so am looking forward to tonight’s offering. And, I’ve paused the watching of the UK version for now. Will probably get back to it, at least the first season. What do you think of this show so far?

What will you be watching tonight?
I LOVE Shameless. It’s just fun and twisted and funny.
Patty, I was in that same boat until last night’s episode. But, the bathtub scene with the naked teenage girl was just wrong. I know that the actress isn’t actually a teenager, but she is playing a teenager and showing that on any channel just shouldn’t happen.
