Oh..........how could I forget Shameless?

Isn't it amusing how the cast of a long-running series feels like friends or family after a while?

Francis from... house of cards. F.U. (Cuff links) lol

Shameless ... Not my cup of tea :)

I am still trying to figure out, what I am watching. It is not good, it is not bad, I just don't know.

Same thing happened with Tyrant... Actually it was on "bad" side (acting, some parts of story) but it still had "it" factor....

Now. Season 2 is getting juicy!

I can't believe the NFL lets them use the logos and names.

It hasn't been very positive. Drugs, painkillers, violence, mistresses, posses, concussions, broke players.....

I'll keep watching but it isn't a football show any more than the League is fantasy football show. Nice eye candy though.

It is strange. The NFL had issues with the show Playmakers, which featured fictional teams and touched on a lot of the same subjects. Now they seemingly support this show with their allowance of logos and such. Perhaps it is some sort of deal struck with HBO for their work on Hard Knocks.

It has to be big money because this show doesn't portray the players or league in a good light at all.

They have hit on almost all of the stereotypes already in the first 3-4 weeks.

That was funny when they used a fake GM to negotiate the deal with the DT. They used Peter Berg from Friday Night Lights to be the fake coach of the Dolphins. He's an Executive Producer so I guess he wanted some air time.
