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?
Please don’t cancel The Blacklist! It’s the only good show I still watch on television!
Please do not cancell. One of my favourite shows
Why do they always cancel something good? They leave the junk on forever. Come on you can only stomach so much of Real Housewives etc.
SEASON 5 ! PLSS !
Please DO NOT CANCEL THE BEST SHOW ON TELEVISION!! The actors are amazing and the stories keep me coming back for more. I need to look forward to seeing James Spader every week! He plays his character sooooo well! This show should be winning awards!!
I completely agree. By far my favorite show on television. Writers/actors/directors are brilliant!
Please renew the blacklist. My fav series!
My husband and I love the blacklist and would be very disappointed if it was cancelled. It’s one of our favorite shows.
The Blacklist is my favorite TV show. I will totally miss it. I love this show so much. I cannot wait to see the next few episodes from season 4. I’d love to see how the powerful “Redd” will deal with this issues…
They can’t even without giving us the real secret’s answer. The show would do fine if they stopped moving it and breaking up the seasons so you never know if or when it’s on.
I think the only reason the ratings went down is because you moved blacklist to 9 o’clock bring it back at 8:00. I can’t imagine any other reason .
Absolutely, do not cancel this show. James Spader is awesome . Redemption can’t even compare to the blacklist; take that one off .
It’s the best show I’ve seen on TV in decades .
i love the blacklist since i got hooked in the first season and have not missed an episode please make season 5,6,7,8,9 and 10.
Great show and cast. This is my favorite network show. Please renew the show. Do not cancel… Please.
One of the best shows on NBC. Tight script with a great cast. Sad to see Tom jump ship but the spin-off is equally as good.
I don’t care for Redemption
My husband and I love this show. Please do not cancel it.
