Talk about a good day. I mean, more work for me to keep updating my lists for cancelled shows of 2012 and renewed shows of 2012.
And this we can call the no wonder news, since it was expected, but as always it´s good to have official confirmation and not just a hunch.

We did bet a little on this show to be good, and it delivered. We did a bit of coverage about it with the best quotes of Shameless, and other articles about it. And now Shameless is renewed by Showtime for a second season. It was announced today by David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.
Starring William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum, the outrageous hour-long family drama Shameless renewal order consists on a 12-episode order for its second season.
“We’re delighted that our wonderful partners at SHOWTIME are giving us the opportunity to make additional episodes of Shameless,” said executive producer John Wells. “We’re having an unbelievably good time making the show and look forward to bringing more of the humor, pathos, and wild sexuality of the dysfunctional Gallagher family to a shocked American audience.”

I had the chance to watch a screener to bring tons of spoilers of Showtime´s Shameless S01E05 called Three Boys, knowing that Kevin is already married, Fiona tries to talk Veronica out of moving forward with the marriage. After Veronica’s mother dangles a cash gift for her wedding day as an incentive, Fiona and the Gallagher’s pitch in to help pull off the fake wedding of the year. Steve busies himself on a hunt to steal the perfect Lexus and Fiona finds herself in the passenger seat. Ian and Kash try to take their relationship a little further, but Ian may not be ready. Meanwhile, during a routine medical disability examination, Frank learns that he has a tumor. He spirals out of control as he deals with the news.
This episode was written by Alex Borstein and directed by Mimi Leder.
Fiona: Wasn´t he drunk when he proposed?
Veronica: Oh yeah. It was like that David Hasselhoff video eating a cheeseburger
Girl on Bathroom: Six month into the marriage I found out he was fucking my sister
Veronica: And the moral of the story is?
Girl on Bathroom: My sister´s a bitch
Fiona: The way it seems now between you and Kevin are perfect. Why ruin it?
Frank: That´s what I get, but I can do this (move the neck)

Who could keep saying that TV is a little brother to movies? Nobody, at least not for a long time. And now even more stars are getting the TV love. Since Academy Award-nominated actress Joan Cusack stars in Showtime´s Shameless. Showtime’s new one-hour drama series Shameless in which Cusack, who will appear in all 12 episodes of the new series, will play the role of Sheila, an agoraphobic Chicago housewife with a sexually active teenage daughter who strikes up a special friendship with William H. Macy’s character, Frank Gallagher.
Showtime ordered a 12 episode first season of the show to test it in January, come Season Finale time for Dexter for instance.
Alisson Janney was the first actress who would play Sheila, but now the role is given to Joan Cusack who will probably give the character a lot of personality and some probably needed dark humor and comic relief.
The show is an adaptation of a British dramedy of the same name that revolves around the antics of a large single-parent family headed by an alcoholic (Macy).
Will this adaptation be Office like (I mean succesful and good) or IT Crowd like (I mean unsuccesful and bad)?
Remember that Shameless premieres on Showtime, Sunday, January 9th.
