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.

This show is one of the best on tv. I literally FB at least twenty friends weekly to watch and comment about it. Very disappointed if it’s cancelled. James Spader is extremely talented and makes this show. The writers keep viewers riveted to the story.
