"You Sold Me the Laundromat, Remember?" is the eighth episode of the seventh season of the American television comedy drama Shameless, an adaptation of the British series of the same name. It is the 80th overall episode of the series and was written by executive producer Krista Vernoff and directed by Allison Liddi-Brown. It originally aired on Showtime on November 20, 2016.
The series is set on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam. He spends his days drunk, high, or in search of money, while his children need to learn to take care of themselves. In the episode, Fiona tries desperately in renovating the laundromat, while Frank surprises by helping. Meanwhile, Lip attends his university hearing, and Kevin's suspicions about Svetlana arise.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.40 million household viewers and gained a 0.5 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances and tone. For the episode, William H. Macy received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards.
