TV Junkie: 2 New Series from Showtime Worth Watching in January
Showtime will be premiering several new series this Winter including "Shameless" and "Episodes" which are both worth your time. "Shameless" stars William H. Macy as an alcoholic single dad with a huge brood of kids that he criminally neglects - but it's funny! "Episodes" stars Matt LeBlanc as a version of himself, a former TV star needing a new show. Both of these shows are very funny and are a departure from the "women on the verge of a breakdown" series that Showtime has been offering us as of late. They're both very funny but in completely different ways.
