One word about Showtime's "Shameless" "WOW"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

Anyone seen it? To me, it's a masterpiece of absurdity and off-beat humor. Enormously entertaining.

One of the story lines:


A husband, who is obsessed with clowns and circus paraphernalia, walks out on his agoraphobic wife who is also obsessed with cooking and rough sex and is replaced by the neighborhood alcoholic freeloader. The husband moves back in with them and eats cereal while the wife cooks gourmet meals for the freeloader. In the meantime, the over-sexed daughter is give BJ's to her tutor under the dining room table.

...... and it's also absurdly hilarious.

I did not know his wife was even seen in the series.
