8/10
Heartwarming
17 April 2013
There are people out there who believe this show is all about making fun of mentally disabled people. I believe the people who believe this, are mental themselves. This show is an homage to all the people who work, and volunteer, in the business of taking care of the elderly. The fact that Ricky plays a mentally disabled person permits his role to show unconditional love, and to be loved by all. That's the essence of the show. It's truly heartwarming. It has some funny bits in it her and there, but that's not what this show relies on. I had some good laughs, and I must admit that at some points my eyesight became a bit blurry due to some water in my eyes. Even though Gervais is not usually known for creating drama shows, I believe they did an excellent job at this one! And I'm hoping to see more. Kudo's, LIKE, thumbs up. 8/10.

Shameless (2004–2013)
10/10
Shameless intro text by Frank

"Tickets this way for the Chatsworth Express Come and watch pikey's making a mess Of the lives they were given by him upstairs And kids they're convinced aren't actually theirs

What sound on earth could ever replace Kids needing money and wives in your face Cos this, people reckon, and me included, Is why pubs and drugs were kindly invented

To calm us all down, stop us going mental These are Chatsworth Estate's basic essentials We are worth every penny, we're grinding your axes You sit on our head, but you pay the taxes

Imagine a Britain without Chatsworth buccaneers We'll come on your face for the price of a beer Make poverty history, cheaper drugs now Make poverty history, cheaper drugs now!"
