Shameless continues to tell the story of alcoholic father Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy) and his six smart and independent kids who are working to survive without him. The rest of the cast includes Emmy Rossum, Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan, Emma Kenney, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Justin Chatwin, Joan Cusack, Noel Fisher, Emma Greenwell, Dermot Mulroney, and Isidora Goreshter.

What do you think? Do you like the Shameless TV show? Do you think it should be renewed for an eighth season or cancelled instead?
This show has seen better days. It should have been canceled after season 4. The characters have been ruined and the stories are ridiculous. No interest at all. Just cancel it.
Can’t believe all the haters that post. Of course they’ve all written / produced / directed / acted in better !! Having only got around to watching all 7 seasons in the past 3 months I believe this series is one of the best. The writing is clever and covers so much of what is part of everyday life. Whilst the characters might seem extreme, they are all relatable and regularly pull at the heart strings. This show is entertaining and deserves another season or 2. The only tired segments I’ve found is the Kev / V / Svetlana triangle.… Read more »
I agree! And it seems like the writers and everyone else who created this show agreed because that Triangle has come to a conclusion.
They don’t need another season to keep writing this crapfest. And it hasn’t become a crapfest now. Seasons 5 and 6 were awful and season 7 is the same. Why drag it out? They have already come to a closure. The only episodes of any interest this season were the ones that Mickey returned. The rest is garbage. All the characters have been ruined and the stories are not interesting. Lip has been ruined beyond repair especially with the dumb professor storyline. Debbie is just boring like the rest of the characters. Just end it now. All the storylines have… Read more »
Mickey sucks! (Publish this comment already)
I fail to see wt* ppl see in stupid character that’s Mickey, oh right, they love to droll over some idiotic “shipping” bs. I hope the “relationship” between him and Ian ends in dissatisfying end for u all. Mickey is nothing but a bully & he reeks. Also a wannabe show-off, there are far more interesting characters like Sheila who needs to return.
I think that Shameless needs another season to end up the story, i know that they are ******** up some storylines (like Lip’s one) but this is not mean that the show is garbage.
This is an awesome show! Of course it should be renewed for Season 8! Every actor on this show should get an award! The storylines are something that everyone can relate to!
I actually can’t relate to any of it. I do however enjoy the show but it does seem to be dragging out. A final season would just be one of closure for every character. Does Monica commit suicide for financial gain?. Does Frank ever die?. Does Lip graduate? Fiona find love and fulfillment? Debbie find love? Ian over come being bipolar? Carl become a man? Liam ever say more than 20 words in 1 episode? Kev V and Lana come to terms? What happened to Jimmy Steve and is Sheila still touring the country in her RV?. Jody and Karen?… Read more »
Every new episode is worse than the last. Here we go again with Lip trying to get sober crap again. I guess the writers don’t know what to do and keep writing in circles. Cancel this garbage now!
Please renew shameless!! I love the show. If others do not like it they do not have to watch it but don’t ruin it for all of us that do we are not doing that to shows they like!!
I can’t wait for new episodes every week.
They pretty much wrapped up all the storylines. They don’t need another season. It would be just more garbage. The show is over and it has its ending. It should be canceled now and not dragged out
As much as I love Shameless, I think that they should produce only one more season to give every main character a deserved ending. It doesn’t even have to be a full season, but this beautiful show deserves a great ending without a cliffhanger or the question ‘What happened to this character?’
Another episode that shows that the show is definitely over. The stories and characters are all over the place. It’s garbage. Cancel now!

I am on episode 7 where Fiona buys the laundromat. Could someone tell me how she bought it? One minute she tears up the $80,000. bank check and says the old lady owns the laundromat, then she is depositing cash from a small manila envelope at the bank in the old ladies name. I don’t understand the money. Thank you.
Fiona changed her mind and still owns and bought the laundromat.
To the scene with the bank: She didn’t want to have the check lying around in the laundromat because the old lady would have never brought it to the bank. So Fiona made the bank transfer for her.
Thank you! I figured that was it. Just wondered about the torn check. I guess we are suppose to think she taped it and took that to the bank? I’m a little slow. ha
If they cancel Shameless I will be devastated. I have grown to love every single character, and would want nothing more for the series to continue! Please keep it going!
This is one of my favorite shows of all time and season ended in a really good place canceling season 8 would literally break my heart!! Please don’t stop making this show I really love it and I would give anything to watch at least one more season… Go Gallaghers❤️❤️❤️❤️
The article is asking for peoples opinions on whether the show should be canceled or not. So everybody that keeps posting that some of us should tune out and watch something else if we don’t like it are wrong. We are posting our opinion. Post yours and let everyone else do the same. And like Southside said, the show has become unwatchable garbage and that’s why we want it canceled. I hope they cancel it soon. It should have been done years ago.
