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.

Don’t cancel this show. I love everything about this show, the stars, the intrigue, the action, the mystery the good the bad I mean everything. It would be a great loss without it. Redmond really makes the show. The way he is so evil, makes it a great show. Please renew for season 5.
Please keep the blacklist as I have to tune in each week to find out what happens to everyone.
Please at least give us one more season. We deserve it for our loyalty.
Blacklist is my most favorite Tv Show ever. Red makes the show worth watching! I will not follow the tv show if Red dies and Redemption is left for what! I am not happy to think that the most amazing tv show may be done. You will hurt your attendance NBC. Viewers do not want Redemtion, they want Blacklist!
james spader MAKES this show…please keep him in. He’s a great actor. Red makes it worth watching…his character is amazing. Please if you must cancel put Red into the Blacklist Redemption….but keep the show please……James Spader, you rock as Red….
Please keep the Blacklist! I look forward to this show every week! When I can’t watch it it is DVR it. I work rotating shifts and can’t wait to get home to watch it! It’s the best action packed show on TV right now and absolutely love all the characters! Please continue this show!
Love The Blacklist!!! Please renew
The reason the ratings went down as you NBC made it more family oriented. I am sorry but bringing a baby into such a wonderful show of adult nature made viewers turn away. You need to go back to the original premise. I will of course keep watching as I adore James Spader…….
Please renew the best crime drama comedy lol show on tv… thank you
The Blacklist is one of – if not the – best shows on television, from acting to writing to directing, etc. The decline in viewers began with the move to Thursday and the competition with football. It seems this has happened previously – a top show is moved to a slot where the competition is likely to cause major problems. I look forward to each show and each season and have never missed an episode. In my view, such quality television should not be deleted! I will watch much less NBC if it is cancelled.
to me this is one of the greatest shows ever on tv. I wll not like it if its canceled
Love the show,keep it.
