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 this show. I sure hope it gets a season 5, what would we do without Red.
They definitely should not end the show at the 4th season. Too many unanswered questions. From what I saw on the last preview for the 2 hour season finale, it looks like Red might “kick the bucket” because he’s been poisoned. If he dies, the show’s over for me. He MAKES the show!
What’s with not airing Blacklist tonight, another re run of SVU
whaaat ending where is the story , where is the truth we deserve at least last season 5th and no more side story just basic story with all blacklisters and the truth about red
I think it should go a 5th season and end it on a good note.. A season where everything is explained.. Went too fast in the 1st 2 seasons.. James Spader is a class act for sure.. But as fans we want to know the whole story..
Love the Blacklist and want them to renew. Spader makes the show.
James Spader makes this show! Renew The Blacklist!
I would miss this show terribly. James Spader makes the show
I love the blacklist. I do not want it cancelled. I look forward to it every week.
Keep it….best show in tv
Yes I’d miss it.
I love this show ,I hope they renew it !!
I hope they renew it. It is a beautiful show!!
I love love love, this show. The characters the actors portray are so naturally executed. The writers for the show have kept it suspenseful ,unpredictable & at times on the edge of your seat.. And can’t wait for the next episode. Personally there is no comparison to The Black List. I would hate for the seasons to end.
Yes I eill miss the show. I dineed not want it cancelled. I dont care for the spin off. Mr Spader wont be in it
Yes I would miss it. Move to Wednesday at 8
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not cancel the Blacklist! It is one of the best shows around. I wait for Thursday night just to be able to watch the show. We need a conclusion to the show, better yet how about 2 or 3 more seasons.
Blacklist. among the best ever on TV. Please continue. Spaders’ character is the show. He does the dirty job that needs to be done.
If the Snowflakes demand something without Spader Please change the title to Blacklist Lite.
