Shameless (US Version) New Promo Released!

Do America have to make a version of everything, it's getting silly this. Although Fiona maybe a reason to watch it, she looks hot like Angelina
 
It seems to weird to me to see such familiar scenes played out with different actors. Especially as I love Anne Marie Duff and James McAvoy.

However, I'm still a huge fan of The American Office, which similarly followed closely series 1 of the UK version, so I'll give it a try.
 
it is weird seeing all of the characters in the US version...I thought the storylines would be different, and with different character names but based on the UK version, if that makes sense....

strange
 
Spot on where, about what?
why cant US just show our versions ? we have there (sic) shows
Assuming tha't's a question despite the lack of question mark, you haven't answered the question.
 
The US DOES show your versions, just like Britain shows the American Law & Order and then goes and makes Law & Order: UK. In the US, BBC America aired the original Shameless. Why remake it? Some people like remakes. Maybe you don't, but some people do. I don't know why that would be hard to understand.
 
Not that odd. It's usually the norm for US remakes to replicate the first set of scripts so the series can find its feet before creating original stories and characters. The Office US did this AFAIK.
 
Don't get me wrong, I think William H. Macy is a great actor but as Frank he doesn't seem right, they seem to have watered him down a bit. I love the fact the announcer calls it a New Series, surely they could call it A Fresh take on a popular series? for any one in the US who hasn't seen the UK version, they will think this is how Shameless should be.
