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?
Please don’t cancel Shameless, by far my favourite show on tv
Shameless is the only tv show in which I have never missed an episode. When I have had to turn in old broken cable boxes, Shameless is the only one I worried about adding to my new cable box. The only show that my boyfriend and I wait all year for the new season to begin. It’s dirty, raunchy, steamy and downright delicious. Every character is unique. We don’t have a favorite…well maybe Frank but it’s because we hate him so much that we love him!! W. Macy is superb. There’s so much more for you to tell. Don’t stop… Read more »
I think Shameless needs to hold on for 2 more seasons, and tie things up all pretty in a nice bow, and make the viewers that have been along for the ride, this long, HAPPY!
Also, I think there’s a lot of “new” Shameless fans on Netflix etc.. Those viewers would also be upset to have this series end, seeing Frank& Carl tagging a building, Lip in AA etc…we all need real closure!
I Believe That Helene Needs To Come Back For Lip She care For Him and It is only Right Plus Mrs. Sasha Alexander Has Been Promoting The show Since She been On It. I For One Watch The Show every Sunday Just To See that short Ass Scene I Won’t Do It Again If She Is Not Presented You Were To Be cancelled After Season 7 But I Believe Because of Her Your Fan Base Has Rocketed Due To Rizzoli and Isles Fans coming Over Because Of Her Like. Season 5Ep9 Her First Scene Got So Much Play I have… Read more »
Please please please do not cancel this show! I look forward to it! They way the ended season 7 has room for growth. I want to see if lip gets it together and if pheona makes the apartments work…and if the neighbors get their bar back. Too many loose ends to cancel!!!!
Don’t cancel! I love Shameless!
I look forward to shameless. Please let it return for another season. Love all the characters.
I hope they count the people who don’t have cable and watch the show on stuff like hulu/Netflix im going to be so depressed it they cancel it after the walking dead this is my favorite show!
Renew this show! I’ve grown attached to the characters, they deserve at least a farewell season. I want see them all prosper. End on a good note, don’t just end it! Go to season 9 or 10, I’ll tune in and I’ve gotten my girlfriend hooked on it.
No! No! No! Showtime can NOT let one if the greatest shows in television history, End in a cancellation! There has to be an end. Gotta be a season 8. If i had it my way…shameless would be on for the next 50 years. Im already PISSED they canceled Roadies after one season. Don’t do us like that showtime. I will BOYCOTT!!!
My entire family watches Shameless. Looking forward to season 8……don’t let us down, everytime we founda series we like it gets cancelled…. Keep Shameless on!!!!
considering all of the streams through netflix and on demand etc i dont see how they could not renew it for an eigth season. i know personally i watched all 6 seasons on netflix and I had to switch to Showtime on demand just to watch the seventh.
Bring on season 8 can’t get enough of this show, there’s not many shows I like but this one is definitely one of my favorites can’t wait to see what happens
There are many Shameless fans including myself that want an 8th season. Come on Showtime, don’t let us down.
110% renew for season 8 at least. There is still so much dysfunctional life left in this family, don’t take it from us and I know I am far from alone on this one.
YES YES there must be another season of shameless.. There’s still so many questions to be answered… Plus micky and Ian need to reunite once again. There relationship gives me goosebumps. It’s interesting, intriguing.
Cannot cancel.
I love shameless my favorite show ever please do season 8 i cant wait….i dont have showtime to watch it as it comes on but i do watch it on netflix…..This show is to amazing to cancel and not show the rest of the story.
