Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially announced and detailed the Blu-ray release of Shameless: The Complete Third Season, starring William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum. The 2-disc set features all 12 third season episodes as well as numerous extras, and arrives via a Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet combo pack on December 17th.



Official Synopsis: Join the outrageous Gallagher clan for another scandalous season of Shameless with The Complete Third Season From Emmy-winning executive producer John Wells (ER, The West Wing) and Warner Bros. Television, Shameless stars Oscar-nominated actor William H. Macy (Fargo, Door to Door) as Frank Gallagher, the outspoken, alcoholic, single father of six clever and resourceful kids who live together on Chicago's South Side.



Season Three of Shameless picks up 137 days since viewers last spent time with the Gallaghers. Fiona (Rossum) is scrounging for cash and finds herself in a succession of jobs, including club party promoter, grocery store cashier, and office worker. Lip (Jeremy Allen White) is sentenced to community service after stealing a laser, while Ian (Cameron Monaghan) struggles to prevent Mickey (Noel Fisher) from marrying a woman his father is forcing him to wed. Jimmy (Justin Chatwin) contemplates returning to medical school; Veronica and Kevin (Shanola Hampton and Steve Howey) are determined to have a baby; Carl (Ethan Cutkosky) becomes part of a scheme to cheat a children's foundation; and Frank, after partying harder than usual, wakes up in Mexico without the papers or cash to get back home. As if their daily struggles weren't enough, Fiona and her siblings have to deal with Child Protective Services threatening to take away the kids.



"Fans love Shameless for the superb acting, writing, and complex characters," said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, TV and Special Interest Marketing. She added, "Season 3 gives these fans even more of what they love and we're thrilled to release it on Blu-ray. With six all new behind-the-scenes featurettes available on both formats, fans will get an even deeper look into the dysfunctional and captivating lives of the Gallaghers."

Graham1138 Sep 24, 2013 Day 1, love this show. Too bad William H. Macy gets passed up for Emmy nominations every year. He could win. Lodz Sep 24, 2013 @Graham1138 No shit! I hate how shows like Shameless and The Walking Dead get shit on!

Graham1138 Sep 24, 2013 @Lodz, I 100% agree. Walking Dead may not win an emmy for acting or writing, but set design, make up effects, editing, music. It would kill in those departments. Too bad the emmy's show like 8 awards and that's it. I still don't understand how Shameless is never nominated for anything, blows my mind.

Flyers99 Sep 24, 2013 @Graham1138 TWD has been nominated for Prosthetic Makeup the past three years, winning twice. It's also been nominated for Sound & Visual Effects before. I don't think it'll get nominated for anything other than Creative Arts Emmys.



Back to Shameless, I wasn't a real big fan of Season 3 for some reason. Will still buy.

Graham1138 Sep 24, 2013 @Flyers99, yes TWD has won awards but they don't televise those and they announce them the week prior. So for anyone who doesn't go out of their way to look it up, it appears as if TWD is not nominated for anything and doesn't win. I too have heard people say they didn't like season 3 of Shameless as much as others, but I thought it was consistently good.

WhySoCereal Sep 24, 2013 I love this show but the third season was my least favorite. I'm very interested to see where they go after that finale....

evoxturbo Sep 24, 2013 Season 3 was way too over the top for me. Kevin and Veronica storyline being the worst of it. However I still want to buy this and re watch it. The past two seasons have looked and sounded incredible in HD. While Season 3 wasn't the best, it still is entertaining in a premium cable standard.
