I also thought this show was a drama.

I started watching it last week and i'm almost done season 1. Its really funny!!!

It feels like an hour long version of Californication.

But i'm expecting the show to move more and more towards drama and less and less towards comedy like all these type of shows do.

It keeps a pretty steady balance. Obviously with a show that's been around for so long there are ups and downs but for the most part it's consistent to what it is.

Carl mickie and Kev. The rest suck... but I guess that's part of why the shows so good.

IMO Frank was great in the first few seasons.

Frank's performances in the early seasons are fantastic.

He's still great at the role now it's just that his shtick more tiring, but at the same time the characters have reflected that in their further and further rejection of him.

Doing a rewatch.

Debs from season 1 was great. A real shame what they did to her.

Original Mandy was also great. Too bad she didn't stay.

I agree with the above... Frank was so great.

First episode of the new season aired.

I am really liking the direction with Frank this season, I feel like they are giving more meat to the young Frank vs. Lip comparison last season. Just waiting for the shoe to drop...but I feel like the fam can trust him.

As soon as they do.. the shoe will drop.

Everyone is on the right path*.... Which means the shit will hit the fan for all of them soon


* Except for Debbie. Anyone else have an issue with her just hanging out at bars drinking? I know they know her, but she is 16!

I'm on episode two of the latest season and I'm having trouble adjusting to Carl talking and Debbie's actress growing up. She's 18 now and I'm dreading if she does a nude scene someday on the show. :eek:

Yeah. These characters are all really flawed and we’re not supposed to love them. Kev too be honest is the only one who never really does anything to make the audience really not like him.

I'm about halfway through the latest episdoe and considering Emmy Rossum directed the episode herself, she's been surprisingly lot topless or wearing little clothing. :laugh:
