Despite the fact that it airs on Friday nights, Blue Bloods has continued to be a ratings success story for CBS. However, scripted shows tend to get more expensive as the years wear on. How long will this police family drama continue? Will it be cancelled or will it be renewed for an eighth season? Stay tuned.
Blue Bloods revolves around the Irish-American Reagans, a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. The cast includes Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Amy Carlson, Sami Gayle, Vanessa Ray, and Marisa Ramirez.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
3/23 update: Blue Bloods has been renewed for an eighth season. Details here.
5/6 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.

For comparisons: The sixth season of Blue Bloods averaged a 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.50 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Blue Bloods TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for season eight on CBS?
This is one of the best series ever. I love seeing the 4 generations having dinner together on Sundays. What great role models Tom Selleck, Grandpa, Danny, Linda, Jamie, and Erin are! Respect for family, police, and church is clearly shown in each episode. Great acting by each one! So glad to hear there’s going to be Season 8!!!
This is the most racist show on television today. As a long time fan of Tom Selleck, since his days on Magnum PI, it saddens me he would continue to be a part of this show.
If you are calling a show racist you need to explain just why you feel that way?????
We need to have a show like this on TV where the police are respected, the church is respected and the family is respected. I watch it every time it’s on TV. Even got my husband to watch it with me. It’s a wonderful show and PLEASE keep it on TV. Thank you.
PLEASE – PLEASE – KEEP BLUE BLOODS. OTHER THAN SPORTS IT IS ONE OF THE FEW SHOWS I WATCH. IT IS A MARVELOUS CAST AND, ESPECIALLY, TOM SELLECK.
This is the finest series on television! PLEASE keep it going!
Please do not cancel blue bloods .I love this show. They bring criminals down but sometimes show both sides to let us know everyone is human. I love this show I watch every episode and hate when series finale comes so please do not make it the shows finale I love the whole cast
Please make sure that Blue Brooks continues! It is not only an interesting, fun, and entertaining, but something families can learn from, a good balance of seriousness, reality and fun!!
Please do not delete this series. I watch it religiously & it is set to record so I watch the episodes more than once.
Please don`t let this show go the way of LMS that ABC has done. America needs more TV that gives us morals and common sense. Not political division. everyone should have their opinions expressed.
Please keep Blue Bloods on,this is my favorite
The finest example of American family values on TV. Cancel it and wonder where you audience went. Too many shows with honest emotional connections have already been cancelled, which is why we watch them again on Netflix instead of watching Primetime TV.
Love the show I have watched every episode Love Danny
Not only do I watch every week, I’ve watched the past seasons on Netflix twice. I will be so sad if Blue Bloods doesn’t continue. They are almost like family.
What!? There is a chance Blue Bloods could fold? I watch it every week!!!! It is one of 3 shows that is a ‘must watch!’ CBS you have a yearly average of 9,978 of us who watch! It is a heartbeat-of-America show! It makes a difference!
Please don’t let blue bloods end I look forward to seeing it ever week and even watch all the reruns
