I am back home for now and really missing theater. In normal times, theater is like a sport for nerdy me, everything from community theater to the Broadway Series. It’s going to be a looooooong winter though as things are here now.

(I have not posted on TOTV for a whole week — or more — but decided to stop by this morning — only to find myself suddenly posting about book reviews and cookbooks and farts — all in the same post.)

You are Chi-Town. I am beginning to think of myself as Crazy-Town. . . Not really. We are doing fine here, taking sensible precautions. But, damn, going to plays is one of the things I miss most.)

And, now, in case you do not know — Frank is back! The final season of “Shameless” has started. They set us up on Netflix with the first episode but now we have to buy in to Showtime.

When I see your name pop up on TOTV, I am reminded that it is your fault that I watch that raunchy, fascinating bunch of Gallaghers. The kids are survivors, in their own ways and in spite of their upbringing. I root for them to succeed, although their methods are often interestingly questionable.

William Macy is a genius actor and he plays an unforgettable character. There is nothing admirable about Frank and you can almost smell him through the screen, reeking of booze and needing a good personal hygiene session.

“Shameless” is my little shameless secret. (I think that phrase might be an oxymoron.)

Anyway, Chi-Town, I am 99 and 44/100 % sure that I have you to blame for getting me started watching “Shameless” when you posted about it years ago.

Thank you — sort of — I think.
