Colin Morgan (Merlin) as gay John...

But I am a big fan of Shameless (UK) and Father Ted (no longer airing) which are two of my most favorite shows ever! Unfortunately I've been out of the Shameless loop for quite sometime, but I always had the biggest crush on Ian (go figure).

I love Shameless too. I have seen the first 5 seasons of the UK version, I am a bit out of the loop to, I believe it is upto season 8. I also believe there is now a US version, not interested in seeing that though.

Merlin is a series that you have to watch from the first episode in the first season to get it. Many characters and plots are introduced along the way and if you start watching it late into the series, it won't make sense.
