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 cancel this show, my husband and I look forward each week to watching what Red & Liz do. We have loved the character development. Please don’t cancel
Please Do NOT cancel this series!! If you have to, make season 5 the final season. It’s one of the few intelligent series on TV.
The Blacklist with James Spader and Megan Boone is the best series to watch and the only series we watch.
We have followed James Spader in all of his movies, television series etc., for the last twenty years.

Please do not cancel “The Blacklist” we have not missed one episode since it has been on. Think James Spader is fantastic as well as the star who plays agent Keane. The loss of her husband to “Blacklist Redemption” is no loss at all. Love the show and all other characters. Please keep it on the air. Thank you.
Please do NOT cancel The Blacklist. We love this show. We hate it when the season ends. We DVR them so that we can watch them all again during the season changes.
Please!!don’t cancel theBlacklist!best show on t.v. in a long time!! Spader is perfect for the role of Reddington!! Many plots and stories still left, It would be a huge mistake to end this show so soon!!!
I agree!!! please don’t cancel the Blacklist I love the show and Spader playing the role of Reddington. There’s so much needed to be known still. It would be a tremendous mistake to hurriedly pull down the curtain.
You have to renew. My wife and I love the show. We don’t want a spinoff. We want Reddington and all of his antics. The cast of the original show is great.
Please renew the Blacklist for season 5!!! It is the best,coolest show on TV. I don’t have time to watch many shows but I always watch Blacklist. You MUST bring it back for a season 5, please…
My husband and I LOVE The Blacklist! We watch it faithfully each week and it’s our favorite show!! Please do not cancel it. It’s such a well thought out show. Love James Spader as Raymond Reddington! He’s the only one who could play that part! Bring back more Blacklist episodes/sseasons and cancel the stupid/fluff sitcoms!
I love the show. I would hate to see it cancelled!!
I love watching the Blacklist. Please renew this series for season 5.
Please keep the Blacklist .The best T.V. drama in years An amazing cast of characters.
I will feel really cheated as a regular viewer of this excellent series if The Apothecary episode were to be the last episode. There are too many questions unanswered (such as what Mr Kaplan might be up to, who Red is to Lizzie, etc.) . Don’t let this great series end without answers just because of lower ratings. It’s so annoying when networks change the viewing night knowing the show will not do as well, and then blame the show for this. Also, my husband and I are 63 and 59 years old; we are so fed up with not… Read more »
