I wonder if this will be the last season. This is the sixth but I have not noticed any decline in the quality.

about it stopping -- but have to wonder how long these exceptional writers and actors can go on without acknowledgment of awards. They are always left off - and it just kills me. the children have more talent in their little finger than Julia Louis-Dreyfus. IMHO

All exceptional. I am sorry to not see Joan Cusack any longer.

think they should have gotten rid of her story line - but perhaps she's on to other things. And Karen was interesting too.

It's hard to pick a favorite - but I always thought Emma Greenwall - who played Mandy was exceptional. She played that "other side of the tracks" girl - even with the way she held her head down and walked so perfectly. And she lived and studied in London ! Just read where someone instagrammed her and she said "you'll have to wait and see" (if she comes back).

Got to say - Carl is amazingly amusing.

Did you watch the British series? I saw it first years ago and when this, the US version came on the scene, I was like WAHOO!

night - they showed Emmy Rossum and they said "won grammy for musical.." thought that was weird that they didn't even mention Shameless - and of course - no nominations.

did accidently read ...Debbie pregnant?

will watch tonight.

Frank was disgusting as hell..lololol.

Cannot believe how tall Carl has gotten...

Oh boy, Debbie is a hot mess.

We watched early because my son (who watches with me) had to go to NOLA for work and didn't want to miss it.

I'm going to watch the new show; Billions. Starts on Sunday after Shameless..looks really good too.
