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.
What do you think? Do you still like the Blue Bloods TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a sixth season?
love blue bloods ,please leave on air ,I’m watching all episodes ,to catch up ,this reminds me of hill street blues loved that show ,after work
My husband and I Love Blue Blood. It is so real. What a great father and grand father role models. Please don’t cancel.
Friday night is a highlight in our apartment…when Blue Bloods is on! Best TV show we have ever seen…great script, realistic situations, everyday human life. It will be a real shame if CBS cancels another season of this entertaining show.
There are more shows on TV I don’t like than I do like but I am not so selfish as to want one cancelled that others may like. My wife & I simply opt out of watching the ones we do not care for. With hundreds of channels to choose from simply change the channel instead of destroying someone else’s evening. We are elderly too but do not care to be like Scrooge, before he changed, & complain needlessly about a TV show. If nothing else Blue Bloods is entertaining with an excellent cast of characters. Before I’ll ruin someone… Read more »
You have to keep this show on Air!!! It is the best show u have! I am in the Uk and I cannot wait for this show to come on. It is very cleaverly written. The Stars have been picked very wisely. Tom Selleck what can u say with him in this show u cannot go wrong. I am amazed you did not pick this up for a Season 6 before it ended!!! It should last as long as the original 20 years!!! It would be a very sad thing if you let this show go. Over to you!
Please, please keep Blue Blood’s on.I just love this show it’s one of my favorite shows on T.V.I just love Donnie and Tom.Keep THIS SHOW ON PLEASE.
Please , please do not cancel Blood Bloods. It is the best show on TV. It has the bravery of the Police men and woman along with their fears. The family values that this country has all but forgotten about. The stories are real, hart felt and right on target with what is going on in this country. And of course we have Tom , Dannie, Will, Bridget, Pop and all the kids. A real family with strong values and real fears. All different , all to love. This is no 1/2 hr. reality same, same show. This is different… Read more »
Please, cancel this show! My husband loves it, watches all the reruns over & over again, & just about everything about it drives me up the wall. I hate the sound effects at those tiresome family dinners, the clinking of the dishes, Tom Selleck’s guttural voice & heavy breaths & the way he slurps whatever he’s drinking. I hate it when they interject comments about food to break the supposed tension (?) in the dinner conversation. They do it at least once in every show & it reminds me of that song, Choctaw Ridge. In other words, it was unoriginal… Read more »
Wow, ever hear of wearing earplugs or going in the other room? I don’t like my hubby’s westerns but he does. I just find something else to do in another room. At least BB is only 1 hour, movies last at least two. You really want something cancelled that HE enjoys? Selfish much? I love EVERY thing about Blue Bloods, watch all the marathons on ION TV, WGN. However, I don’t watch any shows I don’ t like. Go read a book in another room for an hour, I hope he doesn’t have to put up with your incessant whining… Read more »
I wear earplugs when I can, but I can’t wear them all the time & sometimes they have marathons that go all day. We are both elderly & there are enough re-runs of the show to last the rest of his life. All he watches are re-runs, never an original. And, no, he doesn’t have to tolerate my whining because I don’t do that. He’s watching the show right now & obviously I’m typing on my laptop. No earplugs & no whining. We rarely have guests because my husband is in poor health & I’m his sole care provider. Anyway,… Read more »
My apologies for being so rough on you. Believe me, there is no where far enough away for me to go but outside if I want to escape my husbands westerns. The shooting is loud enough to carry all rooms of our small place. You are entitled to your opinion. I have learned to tolerate the sports–not quite as annoying. I agree that production noise is louder in some shows (and commercials, which I mute a lot). I am watching the Thurs. ION Blue Bloods now as I write this. When my hubby tires of them, although he likes the… Read more »
please do not cancel this show….we have been watching it from the beginning. A real show, dealing with family….courageous police officers…..always something that deals with today’s problems. Just cancel one of those stupid reality shows….they are JUNK.
We have loved this show from the beginning. It is so authentic….shows what our courageous police officers go thru every day! There is so much junk on TV that should be cancelled….but Blue Bloods isn’t one of them. Please RENEW!
I’m a big fan of the show too, but you really need to keep in mind that what we see is basically what we’d hope to be the reality of law enforcement behaving with a strong moral compass and deep convictions of right and wrong. Unfortunately all too often this isn’t true. Usually it’s individuals, But sometimes it’s an entire local system. Headlines prove this all too often. Even in a small city in ND where I’m from we’ve had issues like a passenger in a car made to stand outside of the car while the driver got a ticket…..No… Read more »
Well, considering media is only interested in reporting mostly BAD news about everything, including law enforcement, cynicism IS high. I am sure that GOOD still outweighs the bad, but I watch BB through hopeful eyes & enjoy what I HOPE is more common than reported. BB is more of what SHOULD be prevalent, but aside from the story lines, the cast is terrific, great mix of characters & temperaments that allow for conflict but also resolution. They are a family that has each other’s backs, as do the bros in blue.
Please renew Blue Bloods- now more than ever the show demonstrates it’s relevancy eg., two officers shot in Queens-
The show is clean, to the point and supports morality-
Don’t cancel!!!
Love Blue Bloods! Best show on television.
Please keep Blue Bloods, its the number 1 show in our family. My wife, daughter and I watch it every week because of the family emphasis in the script!
Plzz keep show on..love it
Really come on. it’s the only Police drama that’s been on for years that gives everyone that feel good feeling. Family, Truth, Justice they have great family dinners.
You are so,right,, and the people need that.. Not all this other trash that’s on tv
