Talk:Shameless (American TV series)

Untitled

Has any official source said this show is set in Back of the Yards? If so, please cite, because the homes of the characters are all in the Lawndale neighborhood, which is on the West Side, not the South Side. The elevated tracks in the background are unmistakably the Pink Line, which doesn't run through Back of the Yards. Sheila Jackson's house is on Spaulding Ave on the east side of the street between 19th and 21st adjacent to the Pink Line tracks, and the Gallagher house is 2119 S Homan Ave, also in Lawndale. I tried to find an official source or interview calling their neighobrhood Back of the Yards and couldn't - just asking for citations to support the words. Emathias (talk) 05:29, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Monica? Who's Monica?

Cast/characters section says Cameron "is not the son of Frank, but of Monica and one of Frank's brothers." There is no mention of who "Monica" is. Recurring cast section mentions "Chloe Webb as Monica Gallagher." I think we can infer that Monica is Frank's ex- or estranged wife, and the mother of the Gallagher children, but it would be useful to call this out explicitly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.191.166.202 (talk) 18:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

It says who Monica is in the recurring characters section. Steve K 01:41, 2 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skafkas (talk • contribs)

comedy

Shouldn't this be listed as a comedy? It's advertised as a comedy, also you can tell by how it's presented. --24.94.251.19 (talk) 11:27, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Liam

The article says that Liam is black even though he has two white parents. This is possible, but very unlikely to happen in real life. In episode 9 his mother claims that Frank is not the father of Liam. I don't know if it is revealed later who Liams father really is, but if it unknown, the article shouldn't claim that he has two white parents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.164.84.14 (talk) 22:35, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Also it states that Frank is not Liam's biological father but later states that he has inherited genes from Frank's family.

Spoilers

Cast description contains spoilers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.240.73.64 (talk) 08:33, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Why doesn't this article mention similarities and differences between this series and the original UK one? That's why I came to this article but there's nothing. There's also no mention of why the USA remade the series. I can understand remaking foreign language series because Americans won't read subtitles (unlike in the UK) but remaking a UK series? Was it because the language was too difficult for people to understand? Was it that American TV is more hesitant to include hard drug use? Such a waste of an article.--109.112.25.0 (talk) 22:19, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Questionable relations involving family

Does the show have a thing for questionable relations that somewhat intrude on family ties? e.g. Lip's girlfriend's brother is the gay lover of Lip's cousin Ian. Kevin impregnates Veronica's mother. Fiona starts an affair with the brother of her boss who she's also having an affair with. Sammi thought Frank wasn't her father but learns a bit late. Even Frank formally states that "dry humping is not incest". Tandrum (talk) 09:56, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Liam Gallagher ; The Johnson twins seem to have been replaced by Brenden Simms ( S05 Ep01 , S05 Ep02 )

Liam Gallagher is apparently played by someone else starting season 5. This should be amended in the main article.

Cast order listing

Since this apparently needs explaining, the cast list in the infobox is ordered based on the opening credits from the first episode to present. As such, Macy and Rossum appear at the top, followed by the original cast members in alphabetical order of their last name. After that, the actors are added in order of their first appearance in the opening credits. Cusack (S01E01), Greenwell and McGowan (S03E01), Fisher (S03E02), McDorman (S04E01), and Bergl (S05E01).

Cast order listing

So, Emma should be placed after Steve... Fansdisney (talk) 19:24, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Correct, and thank you for fixing that. Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 19:33, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Irish ancestry

Is the Gallagher's and the Milkovich's family background Irish? They do the tonal oscillation that is characteristic of the Irish. 184.145.61.252 (talk) 02:07, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Cult status

Is the show certified cult? 184.145.61.252 (talk) 02:09, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
