Showtime has ordered second seasons of Shameless and Episodes. Hour-long William H. Macy%E2%80%93starring Shameless nabbed a twelve-episode order, while half-hour comedy Episodes received a second-season order with "the number of episodes to be determined," so just hang in there, LeBlanc.

• Episodes is a British production and the series airs there ahead of us. That next season is already in the can.

• Love Episodes. This is good news.

• Episodes is great. Much, much better than anything I''d imagined a show revolving around Matt LeBlanc would ever be.

• SHAMELESS is total shit and a waste of Macy''s talents. Terrible show trying so desperately to be "edgy".

• I''m really glad. Both shows are good.\ \ A "waste" of Macy''s talents? He''s about at his level, I''d say. He''s very believable in the role. But too much of him goes a long way. The star of this series is Emmy Rossum, which is fine with me.

• [quote]A "waste" of Macy's talents? He's about at his level, I'd say. He's very believable in the role Well I believe he is absolute shit in the role. I came late, just watched the whole season on On Demand. I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would put up with his shit for a second but everyone, and I mean everyone bows to him. Macy does absolutely nothing to make this guy likeable. Every successful scoundrel has to be at least likeable so it makes no sense whats so ever.

• R6, He is playing the role like it's written. The character he plays in the original British series is unlikeable and everyone still puts up with his useless bullshit

• agree that this is a desperate attempt to be "edgy". They showed the original British series after some of the airings and it was MUCH better. Love Macy, but sadly, the U.S. attempt falls way short....

• I love this show so much. It starts again next week and I'm watching the second season marathon on Showtime right now. Lip is the epitome of ugly hot.
