Synopsis of Shameless

Frank Gallagher is a single father living on the South Side of Chicago with his six children. He spends most of his time at bars, drinking, and barely looks after them since his wife, Monica, left the family. Fiona, the eldest daughter, carries the household: she cooks, manages the little money that comes in, and makes sure her brothers and sisters get to school and eat something. The kids get by through scams, petty crime and all kinds of trouble around the city, while trying to keep the family from falling apart completely. Created by Paul Abbott and John Wells, the series airs on Showtime and stars William H. Macy as Frank and Emmy Rossum as Fiona.

Trivia about Shameless

HBO began developing an American version after signing a deal with John Wells in January 2009, but in April that year the project moved to Showtime.
Woody Harrelson was the first candidate to play Frank Gallagher in the 2010 remake, before the role went to William H. Macy.
Allison Janney played Sheila Jackson in a pilot, but in August 2010 the role was recast and Joan Cusack took over for the aired episodes.
The Gallagher family home is a real house in a real Chicago neighborhood, and fans have visited it.
Most of the filming takes place at a studio in Los Angeles, although some scenes are shot in Chicago.
The theme song is "The Luck You Got" by indie rock band The High Strung.
To promote the premiere of season two, the entire cast sang their own version of a Christmas carol titled "Shameless: Christmas Carol".
The first episode drew 982,000 unique viewers, the biggest premiere audience for a Showtime series since Dead Like Me in 2003.
