Episodes (New)

Premieres Fall/Winter 2010 (6 x 30 min; comedy)
When a successful British husband-and-wife comedy team are lured to Hollywood to produce a new American version of their hit series, they’re initially thrilled at the prospect. But they soon realize what the executives have in store for their precious show – including replacing the erudite British lead with quintessential comedy star, Matt LeBlanc – and begin to sink into the quicksand that is the TV business. A co-production of Showtime and BBC, this half-hour comedy stars Matt LeBlanc as a parody of himself, and is created by David Crane (Friends) and Jeffrey Klarik.

Shameless (New)

Premieres Fall/Winter 2010 (12 x 60 min; drama)
A U.S. adaptation of the long-running British series of the same name, Shameless follows the lives of the Gallaghers, an unconventional, working-class family trying to make ends meet during challenging times. With an alcoholic patriarch, played by William H. Macy, and mother constantly missing in action, oldest daughter Fiona (Emmy Rossum) is left with the task of keeping her five younger brothers and sisters on track. Guest starring Allison Janney and also featuring Justin Chatwin, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Emma Kenney, Cameron Monaghan, Jeremy White and Laura Slade Wiggins.
