--SHAMELESS--

[SL1]

Wooohooo the 4TH series started last night on ch4.

You dont really get a consistent programme like this, all series we're classic!

Who watched it last night, the 1st episode??

IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT..... WATCH IT ! ! ! !

CHANNEL 4, 10PM TUESDAYS.

CLASSIC PROGRAMME.

 

[Carl]

Is it not the 4th series?

 

[hutch]

I know Ian out of this. Suck my fame.

 

[CW]

Classic show, one of the best on tv at the moment

 

[El Diego]

I loved the first & second series but I feel it's getting silly and repetitive now. All producers should learn from Ricky Gervais, i.e. quit while your ahead. Two series of The Office was enough - one more would have killed it.

Same goes for 24 - great series 1 + 2 but after that it just gets stupid. Just my opinion.

I enjoyed it when I spent one year in England. I should watch the other seasons.

 

[mjsmith2k]

Season 6 has started.

Fucking brilliant... Parteh!

 

[CW]

Quality show this. Frank is without a doubt the best thing about it

 

[Nick Cave]

Not my cup of tea...

 

[marukomu]

I never liked it either.

 

[jaygrim]

Cant stand it.

 

[mjsmith2k]

Shameless is back!

US version started yesterday.

 

[mjsmith2k]

I hate how they've kept the same names/characters as the UK first season.

 

[Placebo]

Why? It's the US version of a UK show, it's supposed to be the same, kinda

 

[mjsmith2k]

I imagined they were going to run a different story with a new cast of characters.

Kind of like the Office US did. Even though the structure was similar the characters were new and fresh.

 

[Placebo]

But that wouldn't really work here, the story is exactly the same, the premise is exactly the same, with The Office it's different.

 

[biker_jim_uk]

The US Office started as a clone of the UK one. The first ep was virtually word for word, but it has evolved quite well IMO.

 

[Placebo]

Yeah they used the UK scripts for the pilot I believe and then used original scripts from then on?

 

[mjsmith2k]

Christ, I caught a glimpse of the trailer for the US version tonight.

YouTube - Shameless Trailer

I'm stunned... what a load of shite.

 

[Placebo]

The UK series never appealed to me in the slightest, I moved away from England in 2004 to leave behind those kind of drunken trashy people that were prevalent enough in Grimsby, the US series might be interesting though
