Renewed For An Emmy Rossum-free Tenth Season


About freaking what? Kev and whatshername? Frank and Peggy Bundy? Blood out of a stone? Will The Simpsons make a guest appearance? Will they insert a digital Lucile Ball? How do you feel about the fact that the troglodytes who make decisions like this, and renewing Charmed and Dallas on The CW, are driving (admittedly, entry-level) Bentleys and earning 200 times what you and I are, but have no discernible skills?

Well, at least we're getting Cameron Monaghan (Ian) back next season. It's enough to keep me watching until it eventually digs its own grave.

From another article:

The series is currently averaging a 0.4 live + same day rating among adults 18-49, down from its eighth season’s 0.5 average. But even despite that season-to-season drop, “Shameless” remains Showtime’s highest-rated original series[.]

You know, any other network with a lick of common sense barring The CW would've put this dog down a long time ago. Those are terrible numbers. They can tell interest is waning but Showtime just doesn't know when to end a series, i.e. "Dexter" (2006 - 2013).

That’s good to know. Thank you!

All I know is that in the last few seasons, Emmy's character had gone from the most intriguing to the most annoying. They haven't given her good writing or plotlines for years.
