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?
The only crime drama show that keeps me in suspense week to week!
Please do not cancel!!
Best best tv show!!!!!!!!!!!!
So few intelligent, scripted shows with an intriguing storyline on TV. There were only two shows that I have watched faithfully over the last few years, Grimm and The Blacklist. I honestly don’t find television appealing anymore with all of the reality shows and ‘reworked to a flaw’ cop dramas. We really need smart TV. The Blacklist is it for me.
Looking forward to the 5th Season of Blacklist. In my book it is second on Network TV behind only NCIS. It would be disappointing to loose this show.
Love, Love, Love The Blacklist!!!! Would be super disapointed if it had been cancelled.
I love it every season .it’s brilliant I can’t wait for season 5!!!!!one of the best shows I ever watched! I keep fingers crossed u will release season 5 .please 🙂
Waiting for 5
I would hate to see the black list go. There are too many crappy shows on tv and the black lost is not one of them. I look forward to watching every week
We really look forward to Blacklist each week. Story line is top shelf and the character development is excellant. I just wonder how Tom will fit into the current scenario.
Looking forward to another season. Always watch it. Seasons 3, for my taste was the weakest. It was heavy on violence without a real story. This last season the writing, and the story line was much more spellbinding. Keep it up in Season 5.
So happy it has been renewed. It is such a brilliant show. The writing is amazing and the cast is perfect. Spader is perfection as Reddington. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Awesome to see that blacklist season 5 will be renewed, can’t wait!
I’m delighted that NBC has approved a fifth season for Blacklist. We never miss a show. Can’t wait until the next season!
I’m thrilled there’s a drain 5 and will be watching
I love this show
I love Blacklist. Don’t cancel it
Please renew it my whole family has watched it from day one. We love it! I think the ratings went down cause they changed the day and time. But i set my dvr to record every episode. I think it’s the best show on tv. Will be so disappointed if it goes off. Love,love,love!!!!!#!!!!
