'Shameless' Season 9 has started on a startlingly positive note and that could be why fewer people are tuning in
Fiona's on her way out, Lip's found common sense, Karl's found a heart...what's up with Shameless Season 9?
The first rule about watching the Showtime dramedy 'Shameless' is accepting that there's no rising from the deepest trenches of spiraling chaos. The second rule? Learning to live with it, just as the Gallaghers have for all these years. With the family back to entertain us for the ninth season, it's hard to fathom how the ninth - and possibly most pivotal - season so far, has seen ratings drop by 30 per when compared to the Season 8 premiere episode.
Ardent fans and followers of the show believe that the fact that one of the show's biggest protagonists is quitting after this season could be playing a major part.
