Shameless
Created by Paul Abbott, John Wells
Chicagoan Frank Gallagher is the proud single dad of six smart, industrious, independent kids, who without him would be... perhaps better off.

They may not be like any family you know, but they make no apologies for being exactly who they are. From TMDB
