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.

I love this show having watched it since the beginning. James Spader has got to stay on television. I believe the reason the ratings have fallen is too much emphasis on Liz, family and BABY.

I have been Intrigued with this show since the beginning, I have watched it throughout 3 Seasons unfortunately ,because of work scheduling , I am not able to see it on the day that they do give it , that’s why I have a DVR from Xfinity Comcast that I record the episode and watch it later maybe at 3 in the morning or the following day, I love the chemistry between Megan Boone Character and James Spader character I have also follow James Spader when he played that cookie guy in the movie Mannequin Plus in Stargate SG-1 the… Read more »
