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?
Yes i love watching the blacklist. I record it each week. Please renew for season 5 ty
Yes I want to see Season 5 of the Blacklist, and would love to see a melding of Red and Liz with the Spin off so we can see what happened with their relationship.
I would be highly disappointed if Blacklist is canceled. My guess is this is not a silly sitcom and it takes too much intellect to follow the plot.
Please renew! Me and my husband love the Blacklist!
i watch the show every week and do enjoy it james spader and the rest are very good i would be unhappy if they cancel this quality show
They cannot cancel this series it is one of the best the blacklist must continue to look.
This is a great show. Everyone I know watches it! Thanks
Please renew! James Spader is the highlight of the week! Has been for years…. and years! Love Blacklist. Love his character! Love the stories.
I watch The Blacklist! One of the best shows on TV. Please, pleased don’t cancel!
Please renew
I LOVE The Blacklist and all the characters. I look forward to every episode. Cancelling it would be horrible. I don’t want a story line spin off of Tom Keen. I want to see Red and all of his antics. Please don’t cancel it.
I love Red and crew, but I’ve always Thursday night was the kiss of death for them because ABC has a stronger lineup that night. Monday night was a much better time slot. I still watch The Blacklist, but I DVR it. I’ll definitely miss it if it gets cancelled. I hope they resolve the storylines and give Red the sendoff he deserves.
Will almost certainly be a 5th Season inasmuch as there is no way these brilliant, conscientious writers will leave Red and the team in the state in which we last saw them. It would be highly anti-climactic, a concept totally foreign to this absolutely ingenious, outstanding, rarely glorious program. I’m in for as many runs as Red has in him; however, while there most certainly will be a 5th, I agree that there doesn’t seem to be much more to come after this. In my humble opinion, it is all up to Spader- he IS the show!
The Blacklist is one the smartest shows on television!
We love the Blacklist! Love James Spader!
