I'm sure I read somewhere More 4 will be showing US Shameless soonish.

maybe they're assuming people may have forgotten the early episodes, or those that haven't watched UK Shameless from the beginning will like to see early characters who have come and gone?

Missus and I are big fans or UK Shamess, so we'll probably give the US version a go. It could be like the Office, where to start off with it's a direct remake but as it gets going it gets new stories and characters, perhaps in some ways it would have to.

With the US office, we watched the first couple and then didn't bother as we remembered the UK ones too well, but since then we've caught a couple of the US episodes which aren't remakes and really enjoyed them.
