William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Steve Howey, Tiffany Ann Johnson, Cameron Monaghan, Shanola Hampton, Jeremy Allen White, Ethan Cutkosky, Emma Kenney, and Christian Isaiah in Shameless (2011)

After a decade of dysfunction, the South Side's favorite clan is going out with the biggest bang ever. It's going to be a wild last ride, but changes are coming that will force each of them to either step up or hit the road. And while devolving may come more naturally than evolving in a family where excess never gets old, they know one thing for certain -- Gallaghers may grow up, but they'll never grow apart.

Trivia
Unusual for a television show, creator John Wells has a very strict policy of no scripts allowed on-set. The actors and actresses have to know their lines by heart.

Goofs
The Gallaghers constantly refer to their address as North Wallace St. There is no North Wallace St. in Chicago, only South Wallace. Also, streets on the south side do not have "North" as part of their name, hence north side and south side. However, since it is a fictional series, the name of the Gallaghers' home street makes sense so as to not offend anyone living on a real-life street of Chicago.

Quotes
Mickey Milkovich: I've got an idea.
Lip Gallagher: We're not going to murder anyone.
Mickey Milkovich: I don't have any ideas.

HILARIOUS except...

One of the funniest shows ever. But like someone wrote before this, season 11 and 10 are SOOO BAD. 10 had some emotional moments but besides that no. And 11 is hard to watch. Like I have to force myself to watch the weekly episodes. I'm only watching them to say I've seen all the seasons.
