Paul Abbott adapted his British dramedy to working-class Chicago with even more riotous satire and nuance. Showtime’s “Shameless” also took advantage of its premium cable format to fulfill its title. For 11 seasons, the Gallaghers coped with dysfunction through debauchery, crime and steamy misadventures. There were hundreds of nude scenes to progress the characters, comedy and commentary.

Sometimes these shows were overtly erotic, like Showtime's Red Shoe Diaries or the softcore movies on the platform that came to be known as “Skinemax.” Other times they were ostensibly sexual, but frequently non-titillating, like ’s Real Sex, which traumatized an entire generation with its commitment to graphic portrayals of aging hippies with weird fetishes and polyamorous lifestyles.
