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.

Please don’t take the Blacklist off the air
please renew the blacklist…theres no sence in cancelling such a great show..theres ALOT worse stuff on tv that needs to be cancelled other than this one…great show…keep it rolling!!
We love this show…The Blacklist…and look forward to every new episode! Please keep this going…there are few shows that keep us glued to the tv like this! We do record it as it is usually on at 10:00pm and that is a bit too late for us and the commercials are abundant!!! James Spader rocks♥️
Blacklist should definitely be renewed. The script is well written and the acting is great. Compared to a lot of other shows available this should be ranked much higher.
Please let’s have season 5 we need to find out how red was set up and really find out with red is Liz’s farther
The blacklist is one of the best written tv series I’ve watched. Please don’t cancel this before giving it the respect it deserves. Each episode has a # which I’m sure once the Blaclist is finished will show categorically how Red was setup and labeled a trader. It would be such a disaster to not allow this storyline to continue. NBC, you owe Red and the task force your loyalty, considering you had a major role in the decreasing viewers by manipulating the schedule!!
Cancel? This is the best show ever. You cannot get a better storyline. The actors and the acting are superlative. Have a group of friends who cannot wait for the next episode and then compare notes/discuss. And because there is so much action, most of us watch a second time. I wonder how you compute ratings? Black List has only become better since everyone has become familiar with the characters. And lots of room for the writers to maneuver. Do not cancel this show.
Please don’t cancel The Blacklist! It’s the ONLY show Iook forward to each week. It’s a good complicated story and the cast is awesome. Besides, I’ve been a James Spader fan for years…don’t like the idea of not seeing him on screen. Thank You
YES we would miss the show very much. Can’t wait for Thursday night.
PLEASE, PLEASE RENEW!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgot to add… That I do not watch anything else on TV! I am pretty much anti-TV! James Spader is and the ONLY person that could nail the part of Raymond! His acting for this part is just AMAZING to watch!!
I would be ABSOLUTELY be lost without a Season 5! I recently found this show on Netflix, and can’t stop watching it! I love how The Blacklist ends a episode with questions that still need to be answered, and your dying to watch the next episode to see the outcome or get answers to those questions. I feel bad that I am not helping the ratings to the show because I do not want to watch the current episodes and ruin any questions that might be unanswered! I have turned many of my co-workers, and employees onto this show. I… Read more »
