Telly’s Take
Once NBC’s biggest drama series, The Blacklist is down in the ratings again this season. With four full seasons, The Blacklist will have enough episodes for a decent syndication package. However, it still performs reasonably well on a tough night. Word is that NBC will likely renew the show for a fifth season.
5/11 update: NBC has renewed The Blacklist for a fifth season. Details here.

What do you think? Do you watch The Blacklist on NBC? Are you glad that NBC has renewed The Blacklist for season five? If the network had cancelled this TV show, would you miss it?
I love the Blacklist but tonight,1-24-2018, NBC ran a rerun of SVC. The Blacklist from the beginning NBC has changed the day and the time it came on, what’s going on w/NBC. This show is great much better than the confusing story line of Blind Spot. Please just put it back on a regular schedule. Take one or two of Chicago (fill in the blank) shows off. The lineup this season is terrible.
Love blacklist cant wait for season 5
I too watched blacklist on Netflix and switched to nbc because I liked it so much, please don’t cancel.
Well helllo , the reason it dropped 30% is because most of the viewers are watching from Netflix or Amazon! Like me, I paid $12 to watch it all through without commercials. Can’t wait for Season 5 and 6 and 7 and 8… Lol I’m hooked!
Oh reddington the legendary what will BLACKLIST be without YOU, season 5 get back soon, love you all
