The Steve Turner Review (up at top). Jeez, what a spoiled baby brat! I used to get Showtime thru Harvard Scientific (company who installs Dish TV commercialy) I was/is in a Skilled Nursing Home waiting on Liver Transplant. I was rushed to hospital in BOS IN 09/17. Showtimes Shameless was starting New Season when near I got out 10/03/17. A Switch broke & H. Scientific WOULDN'T FIX IT! DISH TV came out to fix it, however, Joe the Maintenance Man & Jason the Jew both kicked Dish guys out. SUCKS!

This show is sooo good, Love it! It did lose something from season 3 to 4, but ive been binge watching, and now that Im in seson 5, its back to really smoking hot. I love the family dynamics, I empathize with the females. The acting is never hoockey it's like someone has read your mind and it's on this show.

I have just paid almost $20 to be told the season isn't available to watch until feb 25th 2015. A really devious way to take money based on watch and play.
