- TriviaUnusual 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.
- GoofsThe 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.

Mickey Milkovich: I don't have any ideas.
Featured review
I absolutely loved Shameless. It's only been off the air for like a year and a half and I already miss it. I know it was time for it to end as the quality of the show was going down in the last season but I still miss it. It's about a the lives of a dysfunctional family and how they stick together no matter what, except for their father who only cares about himself. This entire cast is just about perfect. They are led by William H Macy (Frank), Emmy Rossum (Fiona) & Jeremy Allen White (Lip) who all give award worthy performances as does the rest of the cast. This is a show the you can definitely watch more than once so I plan on watching reruns in the future.
