SHAMELESS
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
SEASON PREMIERE: This is the Season 11 premiere of this American version of the British show of the same name. The British original ran for nine years, so the child has outlived the parent – and with William H. Macy at its center, this U.S. Shameless has been entertaining throughout. And most of these cast members have grown up on the show, literally, and have matured into excellent actors. Emmy Rossum as Fiona left last year, but Jeremy Allen White as Lip, Cameron Monaghan as Ian, and Emma Kenney as Debbie – all playing Gallagher siblings – are still there, and better than ever. And I never seem to remember to rave about Shanola Hampton as neighbor Veronica… so since this is the final season for the U.S. Shameless, it’s about time I corrected that error. Hence her picture.
