Shameless US

Cruelworld · 23-06-11, 03:35 PM

Well, here goes for possibly the biggest car crash TV ever (in the opinion of Shameless fans anyway ...)

The US version of Shameless kicks off tonight at 10PM on More 4.

William H Macy plays Frank Gallagher.
I'm gonna give it a go, just to see what a mess they make of it.

It may work, but I doubt it.

Seen the adverts and it looks fcuking ****e.

az87aris · 23-06-11, 04:05 PM

I really don't see the point in it. Same characters played by different people and the same story lines but set in the US. What am I missing here? It seems pretty pointless IMO (and from the adverts, a complete bag of shyte too)!

TheDoctor · 23-06-11, 04:28 PM

Seen all the episodes, not as good as the UK version.

Cruelworld · 23-06-11, 10:15 PM

Bored the **** out of me, nowhere near as good as our good old original and best.
Probably won't be watching the rest, Ideal is on elsewhere.

I kind of liked it lol... might give the next few episodes a watch and see how it goes!

The only decent US comedy is South Park. The new series is hilarious.
oh wait... South Park is Canadian.

Lol is all I can say to that. South park was funny when I was 14, now it's just a bad ms paint created cartoon that's way out of date.

Only decent US comedy was Friends and that finished half a decade ago.

mcgrou · 24-06-11, 01:48 PM

Scrubs is decent; the first few series in particular

az87aris · 24-06-11, 02:48 PM

I like scrubs, the latest series is pants though, as well as the last one. It went down hill when it was sold off to abc!

mcgrou · 24-06-11, 02:51 PM

I haven't seen the last few series, but I heard they weren't great. Didn't some of the characters leave?

az87aris · 24-06-11, 06:10 PM

All of the original characters have gone apart from Turk, Dr Cox and Todd. JD makes the odd appearance but he's not in it very often.

It's not the same without Elliot, Carla and the janitor, the new characters are just.. well.. pants, as if they've walked off the set of glee and into scrubs!
