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?
Renew to give the Gallavich fans what they wand a Ian and Mickey endgame
As a straight american male, Mickey and Ian is a better love story then Jack and Rose. (Titanic)
Shameless rocks. It’s one of the best series ever. Keep on keeping on. The Gallaghers kick ass. Love u guys.
Shameless ratings this season are great, it’s on at a different time and was up against football and the Presidential debates and it still performed well.
Shameless should definitely be renewed. I don’t watch a lot of TV, but this show is awesome. The cast is absolutely amazing, and shows all the possibilities of people, and it is always interesting in that no one ever knows what will happen next times. The writing, acting, plots, etc. are all just so far ahead of other shows. It is unique and brilliant. Definitely a keeper. I will keep watching until the very last show.
This really needs to end now! The last episode was awful. There is nowhere to go. All the characters are laughable. Cancel this sh*t!
This show is not for people who react emotionally. It is a story. They are cleverly constructed, have great flow. Shameless is the title. You don’t have to like what you see, as the name Shameless is supposed to stretch your acceptance of how people are. This is a very edgy show IMO and takes you to your emotional and sometimes intellectual limit of acceptance of how life should or shouldn’t be. It is definitely not a show for dummies nor does it cater to the lowest denomination of viewers with very personal expectations. The acting is great, the writing… Read more »
It’s garbage at this point. There is nothing edgy about it anymore or interesting. It’s time to cancel it. The characters and the stories have become utterly ridiculous.
Are you kidding me?!?! Of course it should be renewed!!! Give all the actors an equal raise!! I had never engaged in watching Shameless until this Season and I binged watched for 2 1/2 weeks until I caught up. What the hell was I doing watching Masters of Sex instead of this show?!?! This show makes me feel so many emotions and the actors… amazing! Ian and Mickey’s love story gave me butterflies because it seemed so real and coming from two straight actors?! There needs to be an 8th season, a 9th, 10th and so on. Stop the freaking… Read more »
Yes, you are so right, I totaly agree.
Cancel it! Used to be funny in a dark way…now its just raunchy and sick! I won’t watch after this season.
Watched Shameless in the UK whilst growing up and The US version has done a great job of keeping up to par.
From watching Shameless on the tv growing up in the UK, I reckon the US version has done a great Job. There are Positives and negatives to everything in entertainment. I just find it joke that people are making statements that
the show should have been cancelled by season 4. why are you still watching it then you flid.
‘Our government decides what we watch NOT you ‘. LOL. Not even Frank would say that. He’s the biggest cynic / realist, but luckily he’s not a conspiracy theorist to that extent.
I absolutely love shameless! Please renew for another season. Its the ONLY interest I have in common with people I know.
For those that think rating play a part in who stays on the air thats a lie. False
Our government decides what we watch not YOU
I like Shameless and I think the ratings system is ********. How can you go by ratings when everyone uses DVR, Netflix and Amazon fires sticks. Your ratings are not accurate. All rating are a joke
Shameless is a joke nowdays a shell of it’s former self!
Like others have said, it really should have ended after season 4. Seasons 5 and 6 were bad and season 7 isn’t any better. The characters are going around in circles. Lip is once again going through the motions. They really did ruin him with the professor storyline. Kev/V and Svetlana are ridiculous at this point. I agree that they have their closure and the show should end
I never liked that russian *****, no matter how much the writers wanted to make her likable i hate her moody face & i can’t stand her!
I would like to see another season of this show. The story line adds up which is great, the characters choose life lessons to teach people, I feel close to the show because my family is very similar, the show makes you feel all sorts of feelings which is good. It would be a shame to end this show , however I feel for a great show sometimes its best to end so it does not destroy itself. five stars out of five so far.
