The Gallaghers are back and television feels all dirty again.

And the Gallaghers are back!

May God help moral majority media watchdogs, everywhere.

Despite having a GED, Fiona is struggling with finding a steady income to support her and five siblings.

The only question is, wheres Frank?

Yet, when the new season begins, it is warm and balmy outside.

Debs is adorably leaving signs all over the front yard asking for the whereabouts of the missing patriarch.

Hes like their lost pet…except not nearly as lovable.

Fi promises Debs that the stray father will find his way home.

Hes like herpes; once you got him, hes there until the day you die.

We then move onto an even sunnier and balmier street that looks faintly foreign.

His eyes slowly open.

Still alive, Frank?

He eventually notices a very Catholic parade of Romans harassing a bearded fellow with a cross.

After figuring out hes in Juarez, Mexico, he asks a local, Did I miss Christmas?

The bemused man stares at our hero in disbelief.

You almost missed Easter!

And so begins the many trials and tribulations of the Gallagher for this Season Premiere!

He must suffer for our entertainment.

After some arguing, Jody goes to soothe the baby back to sleep…with bongo drums.

Between Jody and Frank, Sheila really knows how to pick em.

As she tries to sleep through her baby drama, Kev and Veronica are having their own across town.

The couple has gone full-tilt baby crazy since last we saw them.

Something tells me that wont be a problem for long.

Thirty seconds later, he has been kidnapped by .

whos that guy again?

Oh right, its the father of Jimmys wife, cartel princess Estefania.

Papa Nando is none too happy about this.

And hey, theres Marco greeting Nando and Jimmy when the door opens!

Then theres Nando pulling out…a gun?

Say bye-bye to Marco.

After putting about half-a-dozen bullets into his daughters Romeo, Nando forces Jimmy to help chop up the body.

Similar to last year, Lip begins this season in a fight club.

Fortunately, it is now with awesome fighting robots instead of his face.

Unfortunately, it involves him and Ian stealing a high-tech laser from the University of Chicago.

After a quick chase with Campus Police, Lip takes the fall so West Point-bound Ian can get away.

During all this craziness, Frank has been having a really bad day.

He then tries to tag along with some illegal immigrants but gets run off by border patrol.

It turns out his rectum is so cavernous that he immediately earns the nickname,El Gran Canon.

At last, the biggest ass on television gets to have the literal one too.

Fiona is having pains in her own ass, as well.

Something tells me that will come back to haunt her later.

Sure enough, as Lip is telling a deathly-distracted Jimmy about battle robots, Frank walks through the door.

Debs lovingly runs to hug her long-lost dad.

Everyone else turns back to their food and a discussion about robotic lasers.

Overall, Season 3 ofShamelessis off to a solid start.

Rather, the show humorously introduces us to what will likely be the central conflicts for the year.

But that all changes when Jimmy helps dispose of a dead body.

As they watch bags of Marco sinking to the bottom of Lake Michigan, Nando gives Jimmy an ultimatum.

He can return to his loveless marriage with Estefania or join Marco.

Clearly, this shotgun re-marriage will become critical this season.

With all this drama, it is a wonder what role Frank will play in the evolving household.

If the last scene is any indication, its something he should definitely be worrying about.

Hes majoring in beer pong and date rape from what I hear.Fionas bosss thoughts on her graduating nephew.
