Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUnusual for a television show, creator John Wells has a very strict policy of no scripts allowed on-set. The actors and actresses have to know their lines by heart.
- GoofsThe Gallaghers constantly refer to their address as North Wallace St. There is no North Wallace St. in Chicago, only South Wallace. Also, streets on the south side do not have "North" as part of their name, hence north side and south side. However, since it is a fictional series, the name of the Gallaghers' home street makes sense so as to not offend anyone living on a real-life street of Chicago.

Lip Gallagher: We're not going to murder anyone.
Mickey Milkovich: I don't have any ideas.
Featured review
Awesome Show
I don't leave reviews very often but I had to for this show. I have not seen the UK version and don't really care to because this show is just top notch. I had never heard of this show since I work overseas but ended up catching the 5th episode and absolutely loved it. I told all of the guys in the fire station about it and ever since we have had to catch up on all of the previous episodes. Everyone in the department loves this show and that is a hard thing to do. All of the characters are just great and have so many flaws. William H. Macy does an awesome job as the dysfunctional father. I gave it the highest review I think a show can receive because I don't think there is a perfect show, but this comes darn close. I definitely recommend this show.
