Last season, the ratings for Blue Bloods rose when compared to the previous season. Will they continue to rise or will they fall. Will this CBS show be renewed for a sixth season or will it be cancelled instead? Stay tuned.
Blue Bloods revolves around the Irish-American Reagan family and their work as part of the NYPD. The cast includes Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Amy Carlson, Sami Gayle, Vanessa Ray, and Marisa Ramirez.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/11 update: Blue Bloods has been renewed for a sixth season on CBS.
Final season averages: 1.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.29 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The fourth season of Blue Bloods averaged a 1.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 11.52 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.

Renew it!
Love this show. Please renew for 16
Keep Blue Bloods on! I love that show!
Renewed for another season
I love Blue Bloods!! A great show. Please keep it on!
I love Blue Bloods. Have my husband watching re-runs. You need to think of the age
bracket that is watching this, probably not your 30 something. I think it gives a good insight in what it must be like to be either the Mayor or Commissioner in New York and any large city. It is the morality and family togetherness in the show that is appealing to
a lot of us. I certainly don’t want to watch reality — I have enough reality in daily living–
and some TV shows are getting too sexual and disturbing. Please keep it on.
The most decent show on tv; traditional family values, morals and actual communication with family. They don’t focus on the blood and gruesome details of a murder but rather the legal, and moral ramifications.
Best, most decent show on television. I watch all the episodes I can find and tell everyone they should watch. There are so few programs families can watch together. Please do not cancel.
Without a substantial upgrade in writing and character play, Blue Bloods has run its course.
Some gripes about this season:
Does Donnie Wahlberg have any range but full-on 11?
Why have the writers turned Vanessa Ray & Will Estes into cutsie cartoon characters?
Whatever happened to the terrific Amy Carlson?
Selleck is mailing in his part: sneer, huff & puff, and out.
Bridget Moynahan is gamely holding up the franchise by herself.
Does Wahlberg’s character work the entire city??
Get this show fixed or cancel.
I have a BETTER suggestion : DON’T WATCH if YOU don’t like it. Majority of us LOVE it if you take time to read ALL the comments. We like BB and the Reagans just fine the way they are. So, YOU have run your course, leave Blue Bloods going for MANY seasons.
This site is asking us for our opinions. My opinion is the show sucks. It’s repetitious, predictable, and boring. And those family dinners are annoying at best.
If the show is good enough, people will watch & the producers will keep it going.
The numbers will decide its fate; not comments from viewers like me & Jtrac.
I agree with Laura C if you don’t want to watch there are a lot of mindless other
shows for you without a good moral to the story !!! We need more shows like
BLUE BLOODS less vampire blood sucking shows and REDICULOUS REALITY
shows about spoiled RICH celebrites. THATS BORING !!!!!
Seaturtle, while you are free to express your opinion, my question stands, why watch a show you have so little regard for other than to complain about? Your negative opinion is definitely the minority here as I read the comments, and yes, final #’s
play a part in ratings. I think the ratings are JUST FINE and Blue Bloods fans will continue to show their support.
Laura C, I don’t watch it. My husband watches reruns, sometimes all day long. I do different things to tune it out, but he’s not well & I cannot leave him alone for very long & so I’m sort of stuck here listening to Frank Reagan’s endless heavy sighs & the exaggerated clanking sounds at those insufferable dinner table scenes until my brain wants to scream! I will not hurt my husband’s feelings, so I’m just hoping the show will be cancelled. BTW, it never bothers me when/if my opinion is the minority one & I certainly do not begrudge… Read more »
Great show and superb acting. Very believeable show and the subplots are good as well. If the actors care to do a 6th season it should be renewed as there is very little like this on television today that shows the gritty of a police department and the problems they encounter. I always like the Sunday dinner thing where the whole family gets together which is so rare today. Therefore, please renew.
