That's just based on the first 3 episodes though it could go downhill quite quickly after this haha
The US version of The Office is completely different from the UK one (after the first episodes or so) and is actually funny unlike the English one.

Well it's a like for like from any countries perspective. Though out of interest are you American yourself by any chance?. As your clear preference for American versions of British shows that in your opinion are crap compared to the copied American versions seems to be difficult for me to grasp?.
Anyways, my point is that the Amercian version of Shameless will probably only be well received (or so the network and producers hope lol) by Americans as they are probably better placed to understand it from there actors performances and portrayal etc. If it gets aired here in the UK I'll bet it will be slated by the vast majority of British viewers who will say it's total crap compared to the original.
Though wander if Channel 4 will have placed restrictions on who might be able to screen the US version here?. Not heard anything about Sky Atlantic screening it and thats the obvious choice (unless I've missed the info). So dont think it will be on a major sky channel in that case.
