Shameless Season 2: Episode 12: “Fiona Interrupted” “Fuck that, I’m calling him Steve.” And so, another season of Shameless has come to pass, full of laughter, tears, depravity, good old fashioned family values, and a vaginal birthing scene that is seared into the dark recesses of my memory for all of eternity. As a show, Shameless has a beautiful way of blending the twisted with the tender, and last night’s finale was no exception....
Shameless Season 2: Episode 10: “Just Like the Pilgrims Intended” Holy Bald Eagle, Batman, it’s Thanksgiving in the Gallagher home! Every time I think that this show has finally hit rock bottom the writers find a new way to surprise and revolt me with a what-fresh-hell-is-this level of depravity. Here’s the basic rundown: Carl murders an American Bald Eagle, singlehandedly pushing them closer to...
Shameless Season 2: Episode 10: “A Great Cause” For those of you still reeling from Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans, I’m going to make this as short and sweet as I can so you can get back to that steady stream of Gatorade, Advil and what’s left of that ill-conceived Shamrock Shake. Frank & Monica “Why anyone would go to the zoo sober…” – Frank Hurricane Monica is careening into self-destruction territory this week,...
Shameless. Season 2: Episode 9. “Hurricane Monica.” We all live with ghosts. Some of us are haunted by past relationships. Others by failed opportunities, like ordering a salad instead of a burger (always a mistake). And some of us lucky ones are haunted by actual dead people. This week’s episode of Shameless strikes a little close to home for me in that way, since I’m fairly convinced my bedroom is haunted by the ghost...
Shameless Season 2: Episode 8: “Parenthood” “He was on the bottom bucking like a horse who knows it’s going to the glue factory.” -Frank Ding-dong the witch of South Side is dead, and I’m a little feklempt. Sure she was crass, greasier than the back of a Waffle House and had a knack for cooking the crank, but that tough broad had more first-rate one-liners than Mike Tyson on fight night. So, pour one...
Shameless. Season 2: Episode 7: “A Bottle of Jean Nate.” “Our house smells like meth.” -Carl Happy President’s Day to some, and Miserable Monday to the rest of you poor bastards. Whether you’re sitting at your desk muttering expletives under your breath or basking in the warm embrace of this glorious three-day weekend, why not make today Monday Funday? Poor a little sumthin sumthin into your coffee mug, dip-dodge your supervisor and take this party...
Shameless. Season 2: Episode 6: “Can I Have a Mother” “Your coochie smells of sulfur and brimstone.” –Sheila I can’t tell if I’m still reeling from Whitney’s death or recovering from the wedding I went to on Saturday. Either way, I’ve got a bad case of the Mondays , so please excuse glaring typos, egregious spelling errors or sentences that make little to no sense and seem to trail off. That said, let’s...
Shameless Season 2: Episode 5: “Father’s Day” “Won’t be long before the whole country’s either Mexicans or Gallaghers.” –Frank My fellow Americans, today we are all kindred spirits. No matter who you bet your rent or kid’s tuition payment on last night, we all woke up to a collective, “Oh, shit,” because, let’s face it, folks, you can’t have Super Bowl Sunday without Hangover Monday.* It’s going to take a little more than the...
Shameless. Season 2: Episode 4: “Beautiful Mess” “I’m making this shit up as I go along” –Fiona I’m not sure if it was a low blood alcohol level or my lingering disgust from episode three, but I spent most of this week alternating between shaking my head and yelling “WTF!” at the screen. Lip “Speaking of hookers, how’s Karen?” –Ian Alright, Lip, you’ve officially crossed the line. It’s one thing to be wary of...
Shameless Season 2: Episode 3: “I’ll Light a Candle for You Every Day” “Dead people poop themselves.” – Debbie I don’t know about you, but last night’s episode of Shameless left a sour taste in my mouth. I’m not just talking about your run-of-the-mill, “Oops, I forgot to brush my teeth after I had my coffee” kind of sour, either. I’m talking about the kind of foul taste that makes you question your morals,...
