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.

Love Red’s character but Liz character is boring please do something about her character

the show is perfect as such..just needs to be renewed a 5th season
We love the Blacklist and Blacklist Redemption!!! Please keep these on tv!!! It has the greatest stories and greatest actors!!!
I love this show and cast. Haven’t missed an episode. Don’t cancel. Best show on NBC
I love the blacklist. Haven’t missed an episode. One of the best shows on NBC. If people don’t like it they should not ruin it for those that do. If you don’t like it don’t watch.
Nope. I just want it to end now. Just watching to know an end. Everything circling around and coming back to Liz! ughhh!
Love this show; haven’t missed an episode. James Spader is the nedt; please don’t cancel!!!
I love the show. Just finished watching the taped show from last week. I usually watch mostly CNS but I make it a priority to tape Blacklist
I record Blacklist every week, please don’t cancel. I also record Blaclist: Redemption., I hope it makes it this season. Both shows are intriguing to me.
James Spader is one of my favourite actors. I love the Blacklist. Please don’t cancel!!
I like the show, actually I love James Spader. When are the networks going to realize that TV viewing is different now? It’s not the 1950s any longer, just because I don’t want it when the network airs it, does not mean I’m not watching. Keep it if you want, I’m sure James Spader will end up acting some where else.
I love this show..one ofy favorites
I love The Blacklist!! James Spader is amazing! I really hope this show does not get cancelled it’s my favorite!
We love Blacklist, guess the real question is are the writers up to another season
I would be very upset if The Blacklist were cancelled. This is my favorite show. I love James Spader. Move this to a great time slot, or advertise it more!!! Please don’t cancel
I love the Blacklist more than any show on TV. I would be very upset if it was cancelled and wouldn’t have any show to look forward to. Just love James Spader! Please keep it on! The previews don’t look good for Team Red and I am afraid for its renewal. Best show on TV.
