So the new season of ‘Shameless’ made its debut Sunday night and...yep it back and it is tired. I really enjoyed this show years ago in its earlier seasons because it was original and made me both laugh and feel emotional. But the last couple seasons have felt very tired and unoriginal. Just a retread of what they already did. Franks capers now are just silly and dumb. Fiona is boring and apparently the actress who plays her doesn’t want to come back for another season. Deb is just annoying, Carl’s storyline is no fun anymore, V and I can’t remember his name bartender guy stopped being funny about 3 seasons ago.
The term ‘Jump the shark’ comes from the later seasons of the sitcom ‘Happy Days’ when the Fonz literally put on some water skis and jumped a shark. It was then they said Happy Days has gone too far and ended soon after. Well when ‘Shameless’ made Ian Gallagher a gay Jesus they jumped their proverbial shark.
