Shameless Preview: Meet The Gallaghers

Judging by the teasers and previews we’ve seen from Showtime’s upcoming series Shameless, I’m thinking people are either going to fall in love with the Gallaghers or else, not get them at all. Based on these new promos, I’m leaning toward the former, myself.

I think it’s safe to say this family, headed up by an alcoholic played by William H. Macy, isn’t perfect. They’re kind of a mess, actually and yet the more Showtime reveals about them, the more I want to watch this show.

“Are you mine, Liam?”

Shameless premieres on Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on Showtime.
