Synopsis:



Episode 2 of 12

Looking forward to it. Very different show compared to most of the stuff I watch.

Really enjoyed tonight's episode - a lot more Bill Macy in this one and less of pretty much everyone else - thought it might need a bit more of a mix given the talented ensemble cast but still loved the twist with Frank moving in with Joan Cusack's character (Sheila?).

^ Yeah, fun episode tonight. Wow, Sheila's got a wild side!

Shit, that dildo with a handle was the size of a baseball bat!

That was pretty good even though Frank is such an ass and an extremely unlikeable character. I'm surprised how his family tolerates his antics.

at the size of Sheila's dildo. I guess Frank is now her sex slave. Talk about taking a sexually repressed housewife to a new level.

I thought it was great that Steve took the initiative to try to teach Frank a lesson for being such a prick, especially after he headcutted Ian.

It seems like Frank may become one of the most hated characters on television. What a piece of shit.

I thought this episode was a bit over the top. Fiona walking in on some butt-sex action, and no-one really cares - the conversation goes on like it's no big deal. And Cusack's character being an even bigger freak that likes to dildo men? Really?

I know the show is called "Shameless", but come on.

All I know is that I'm in love with that black girl. Her body is insane!

It's based on the British show, and most of the stuff you mentioned happened in that version.

I'm aware of that (since I've heard the first two episodes follow the British show closely) but my argument still stands - regardless of who originally wrote it.

I love this show. Never seen the original but I'm loving this one. It's hilarious and even has some heart to it.

You're not the only one.

Is it even remotely possible that the two round trips from Chicago to Toronto were possible in that time period?

What happened in the British version of this episode? Did he get dropped off in Ireland or something?

It looks like it's about a nine hour drive.

I just check Wikipedia and he ended up in Calais, northern France.

That bugged me. If he wanted to leave him in Canada, why wouldn't he just drop him off in Windsor? Why drive another 4 hours from Detroit to Toronto?

Made no sense at all.

It would be much easier for him to come back from Windsor. If you drop a drunk off in a big city like Toronto, I think there'd be a better chance he would "settle in" and stay there.
