This TV series has managed to survive on Friday nights on CBS but the ratings have been coming down each year. Will Blue Bloods’ numbers be strong enough for the show to be renewed for season five or could it be in danger of being cancelled? We shall see.
Another police procedural series, 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, Nicholas Turturro, 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.

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 fifth season?
Blue Bloods on Friday nights for us has been great. Seeing Tom Selleck in the role from the first 1979 role as Mag PI, has been great . We love the Blue Bloods. We watch or tape . We have seen an actor grow with our age from 70’s to present. Thank u for a Friday Nite when after along day of doing surgery all day. We still watch !!!! Relaxing , how, it brings down to everyday life of our life to end with a family supper. Thanks
Please renew Blue Bloods! Please Do not cancel!
please keep it on.
Please keep the show on the air…it is one of the best shows we have the air. It is one of the best shows we have to choose from What about the older than 49 yr old viewers. I am so sick of reality.
Blue Bloods is one of two shows on the air that really merit watching. the scripts are entertaining and true to the present time events. The family dinners are one of my favorite parts of the show although i enjoy all aspects of the show. the acting is great and the kids are really starting to develop as actors. please don’t take it off the air. if the ratings aren’t good enough please switch it to a different day/time. thanks
This is the best show on TV !!! Not all sex and “gore”! Whomever writes these episodes, has some experience with police work! KEEP IT ON THE AIR!!! PLEASE!!!
Renew Blue Blood. This is one of the best shows on.
please please please keep blue bloods coming.
I’m so glad they are renewing this show.
please renew blue bloods it a great series
Please keep it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a very good program, the ratings needs to also take in the market of viewers who tape this program so we won’t miss any….. The commercials are seen and products are purchased…. keep Blue Blood on!!!!!
oh please Julius this is a family show. Bridget dresses in very attractive business attire and Amy Carlson dresses in scrubs as appropriate when working as a nurse and casual most of the time in her role as a mom. This is a great show because of the family interactions and the plots. I will be very disappointed if it’s not renewed.
I agree with you Diane and I hope it goes to a 5th season. I made the suggestion because
that is how most of the TV audience are. And for the sponsors to continue financially supporting the show it has to improve its rating.
ok, i understand that ratings have to come up, but it’s really hard to do that on Friday nites when people are going out to do things. If CBS wants to save Blue Bloods they need to give them a more competitive time slot.
I enjoy and regularly watch Blue Blood. The rating drop is understandable. What you can probably do is to portray brigit moynahan in sexier revealing outfit and more sexually promiscous role. Also the other lady who is a nurse maybe she can also contribute to this approach. I thinks this is whats lacking after 4 season. Surely you guys know what to do using this approach.
Love Blue Bloods — Please leave it on — It is like family!!!!
