It’s a common belief that TV shows that air on Friday nights will certainly be cancelled soon. While that’s often true, Blue Bloods has done very well for CBS, airing on Fridays for nearly its entire run. Will it continue to survive? Will the ratings rise or fall this season? Cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned.
Blue Bloods revolves around the Irish-American Reagan family and their work as part of the NYPD. The cast includes Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Amy Carlson, Sami Gayle, Vanessa Ray, Nicholas Turturro, 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.
3/25 update: CBS has renewed this series and 10 others for the 2016-17 season. Details here.

For comparisons: The fifth season of Blue Bloods averaged a 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.48 million total viewers.
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 like the Blue Bloods TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a seventh season?
I am addicted to Blue Bloods. Love the actors, the writing. It addresses important issues. Hoping they have many more seasons
ION entertainment is top of the line!!! Blue Blood, is exciting, full of compassionate, family unity and balance to protect citizens and up holding the law. I could watch Blue Blood all day. Law & Order SVU, is also TOP OF LINE. Not to mention Criminal Minds and Saving Hope. You guys are outstanding with your performances, so close to the way of society. ION, you ROCK!!!
Blue Bloods is my favorite show. It has great story lines and each show teaches some kind of lesso . The language is acceptable and you know what to expect. If it isnt renewed it would be a tragedy.
Blue Bloods is the greatest family oriented show on television, in my opinion. I have watched it from the beginning and have seen all the reruns and I really love the show.

I’m 72 years old, have seen them all since “I Remember MaMa” in the 1940s, and no series better than Blue Bloods.
I’m so happy to hear that CBS is bringing blue bloods back for season 7 and I hope season 8,9,10! This show gives an insider view to a police officers life on and off the job and teaches us the struggles they face every day! It is very important that this show stays on expecially these days with all the bad publicity police are receiving from a few bad apples in departments around the United States . It has been my childhood dream to become a police officer and with this show it is as close as I will get… Read more »
