Default Anybody going to bother with Shameless (USA version)?

Wifey and I always watch original Shameless when it's on (and obviously, being from daan saaf, it's where we get all our information about Manchester!) but I'm not convinced about the US version. William H Macey just doesn't look degenerate enough! And they can afford a pool apparently - can you imagine anything bigger than a paddling pool on the Chatsworth?

Thoughts?

Haven't seen it but from experience, they take what we do well and water it down, turning it into the equivalent of weak lager.

US do well what is relevant to them, Scrubs, Mash, Simpsons etc.

Copying don't work.

Try your best not to watch anything the US has syndicated from the UK. It's always a bad idea. Especially Top Gear, they ruined it for me a little.

Not anymore it's not. Steve Carell is gone and the show sucks now. They're thinking of replacing him with Will Ferell.....*shudder*....

Am I the only person who thinks the UK version is pants? I've never been able to find it funny?
