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! Best show on TV! And very true to life according to my friend at a local Air force base>>>>
Bring it back. It’s the best show going.
He was great in Boston Legal and just keeps getting better. Please keep the show and the great James on tv.
Please don’t cancel, it’s a great show! Love James Spader, brilliant actor. Don’t like the redemption at all.
Best show on TV. Please do not cancel.
Just started watching The Blacklist on Netflix and Wow — great show, watched all 67 episodes in about a month. I guess you’d say we are addicted. Hope the show is renewed.
I would really love to see The Blacklist get renewed. Great show with well thought out charters.
I hope they have the good sense to bring this back
I black list and would surely miss it if it wasn’t on please do not cancel it as I look forward to it every week and I like the Blacklist Redemption but it doesn’t compare with The Blacklist
Please don’t cancel the show! It’s one of my favorite, if not my most fav . I have watched it from the beginning since it first started. I stay watching since I love Reddington, his reaction with Liz, want to know if his faithful bodyguard could have tried to do him so wrong as poison him. Far as I’m concerned Tom can be discontinued, Liz and her baby would be so much better without useless Tom. Please don’t cancel and go full speed on ahead to catch up and keep on going with Reddington(love him and his part), and Liz… Read more »
This show is SO well written. It’s intelligent and well acted with great character development. This is the kind of show we need more of on television. I encourage the network to consider how nice it is to offer viewers a show that speaks to their more erudite viewing audience.
Don’t stop with Blacklist T V Series ,I’m hooked on it !!!!
You can’t cancel this show, let alone leave it with that ending! We want answers and a lot more episodes!
Please give us a season 5. So mny shows leave us hanging . Where is Kate. Is Red going to rise again or will he fall? While not a huge fan of Liz (Megan Boone) our house loves James Spader. Maybe wrap up The Blacklist (with Kate having a happy ending) and find something for James Spader.
I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that hates Liz. I tuned in for Red. I so love his character.
DONT CANCEL THE SHOW!!!!!!!
