Despite the fact that it airs on Friday nights, Blue Bloods has continued to be a ratings success story for CBS. However, scripted shows tend to get more expensive as the years wear on. How long will this police family drama continue? Will it be cancelled or will it be renewed for an eighth season? Stay tuned.
Blue Bloods revolves around the Irish-American Reagans, a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. 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.
3/23 update: Blue Bloods has been renewed for an eighth season. Details here.
5/6 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
For comparisons: The sixth season of Blue Bloods averaged a 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 10.50 million total viewers (live + same day ratings).
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 renewed for season eight on CBS?
My husband and I love blue bloods and hope it gets ok to do seasom 8. We need shows like blue bloods that teach good lessons like loyalty, value of hard work, not being influence by public opinion, and family sunday dinners.
I love the show, very entertaining and not your typical macho police show. The cast is very talented and give a real family feel.
Look forward to Blue Bloods each Friday night. If the cast is willing to stay on, so are we.
Blue Blood is our Favorite Family show. We make sure we are home on time every Friday night to watch it. If for some reason we are not home, it is recorded and waiting for us.
PLEASE PLEASE don’t cancel or let the stars LEAVE. THis is awonderful family oriented show that should NOT LEAVE the air.
We wait for their weekly dinners and talks.
Keep it on. Best show for the whole family.
I think Blue Bloods is one of the best family shows on television. It is clean with no profanity, yet still deals with many aspects of crime and shows the different offices and their people involved in solving them. Along with that, it also nicely handles the family’s private problems and concerns. Although it seems like it is the ‘Danny’ show a lot of the time, the writers seem to be balancing the actors air time out better as time goes on. All actors play their parts wonderfully.
Now that Blood Blues have been taken over by CBS instead of Fox, shows are not being aired for one reason or another. First they are not aired for weeks, then come back on for two and then not aired for another week. Whats going on CBS?
Doesn’t seem like there is any reason for this and it tells you on the CBS TV schedule its on but its not. We like our Blue Bloods and want to see them every week. Please keep your schedules up to date when you post them.
What kind of question is it – Cancelled or Renewed? Of course, RENEWED!!!!!
One of the best shows on TV – the cast is wonderful….all the characters are great. I am sooooooo looking forward to seeing Season 8….DO NOT DISAPPOINT YOUR FANS…….

Best of ALL on TV these days -I’ve got big bunch of my friends “hooked” on Blue Bloods too. Thursday reruns I keep on ALL Day and watch the new ones everytime they are aired. I also use advertisers who sponsor this terrific show. Bought their cook book – My family LOves to eat Blue Bloods dinners. Great scripts with great writers! Keep them going forever!
Best show on TV we have forgotten how important family is. We should all sit down every Sunday like I did as a child for Sunday dinner. Compared to the other crap on TV this show is far and away much better.
Please Renew Blue Blood. Best show on TV. Can’t wait until next week for another episode. Will be totally lost during summer time waiting to hear another season of Blue Bloods will air.
Carolann,
It was announced a few weeks ago that there will be a season 8.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never seen that. Thank you.
I love Blue Bloods but I still miss Jackie:( Jennifer Esposito and Donnie Wahlberg had such great on-screen chemistry. Esposito brought such an edgy attitude to her role. She was able to hold her own with Wahlberg’s character. Please please please bring someone else into this great drama that can hold her own with Wahlberg. It is definitely NOT Marisa Ramirez. She acts like she is his maid, mother, secretary but never acts like she is his equal or better!! I am never convinced that she is a police officer. I feel irritated every time she is on screen.

Are you kidding? To even THINK about canceling this show? What are you thinking? This is quality TV at its finest! The whole family concept is a strength that America needs today. Showing cops at their best and worst, but looking in depth at the situations in which cops find themselves is so needed with today’s anti-cop vibe reverberating in such a hateful way. Perhaps you need to give it a better night instead of the Friday slot. Maybe include more minorities. You’ve got some A#1 stars in Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg. Jamie is absolutely adorable and a very… Read more »
