You can’t help but love the Gallaghers.
Six children growing up with an alcoholic father on the south side of Chicago, they’re not quite your traditional family, but they’ve always got each other’s backs.
After watching the first five minutes of straight weirdness, sex, drugs and alcohol, it’s obvious you’re in for a treat. Despite the string of shit-luck the Gallaghers face, they always live life completely shameless and sometimes we wish we could be a little more like them.
Here are seven shameless thoughts we all have while watching "Shameless."
1. What even is Lip and where can I get one?
Despite everything we know about smoking cigarettes, if Lip offered us one, we’d probably be down.
He’s mastered the whole bad boy act to a T – running from cops, sneaking around with his professor, the pretty standard Jess Mariano qualities that make a bad boy attractive. But there’s something else there too. Sweet, sensitive and also smart, we can’t stand the self-sabotaging and pray that someone finally says, “Fuck it, this kid deserves a chance”.
2. OK, sorry but Debbie is annoying
We’ve tried really hard to give her the benefit of the doubt, but there’s just no good explanation for why Debbie is the WOAT.
It’s like watching your middle-school self in the absolute worst moment of your awkward phase over and over again. Cringe. From bad decisions to worse decisions her storyline just continues to go downhill.
3. When did Carl get hot?
It makes no sense, but let’s just embrace it. His one-liners and stupid antics had us laughing from season one and he can weirdly pull off the cornrows.
4. I can't get over that Sheila is the mom from 'Ice Princess'
Yes, Joan Cusack, ladies and gents — the one who wouldn’t let her daughter wear skimpy ice skating outfits and wouldn't let anyone in her house with their shoes on.
No matter how bizarre it gets, we all live for a good Sheila scene and secretly want her to make us breakfast.
5. I can't decide if I love or hate Frank
The man who can’t be killed. He just keeps coming back and every time we have just a little faith that maybe this time will be different.
Frank scenes can frankly be excruciating to watch and we’d likely all chip in for him to take a shower, or get a haircut or sometimes go die.
Though we can respect his dedication to getting his hands on alcohol, we’ll probably rip out his liver if he doesn’t destroy it first.
6. Fiona makes me rethink my entire life
While she doesn’t always have the best judgment, especially when it comes to guys (Steve or Jimmy?), she’s doing a lot more than I am right now sitting on my couch watching this show.
Fiona is the backbone of the Gallagher family and somehow always manages to hold things together even when it’s messy.
7. Pray for Liam
We always forget about Liam, but I sincerely hope he turns out OK.
