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?
Plus Tom Selleck is awesome.
If Blue Bloods is not renewed, I will never watch television again. #renewit
Please renew. My favorite television show.
It is the highlight of our week as so many other programs are just plain silly. We sure hope it sticks around for many more seasons. I do wish that they would lower the volume of the background music and sounds as our family finds it difficult to hear the voices of the cast for all the unnecessary background noise.Waiting to see if there will be a next season.
i love the show. i really hope it doesnt get cancel. its awesome!!!!!
Renew. It is a cameo portrait of the,authentic American family values and principles so .many of us aim to achieve. The characters are real and work well together . Episodes are interesting and handled with intelligence and sensitivity. The fact that the actors can count on each other and commit to each other are so special and bring tears to my eyes. Just look forward to this show every Friday night and really love it
They had to do it. A city were there is over 60% minorities the producers have chosen to have 2 white stick up men shoot and kill a minority shop owner while another minority with his daughter watch. Your kiddnig right?
I love love this show. I look forward to watching every Friday night.Please keep it running for many more years.
Its ratings are lousy. it’s averaging a 1.2 at the moment, which is passable. If it continues to pull 1.1’s and lower for the rest of the season, the Friday excuse is out the window. The only saving grace is that it hasn’t lost a lot of its audience(for the moment).
Blue Bloods is one of the best shows on TV right now, and one of the very few – if not only – that involves FAMILY so heavily in a truly multi-generational way.
Blue Bloods should go on forever!!
Please continue with an 8th season of Blue Bloods, not only as one of the best police dramas but as a show that incorporates the importance of family values. The dinner scenes and dialogues are the best since they include four generations of Reagan thoughts, prayer, and respect. Seeing Jamie’s career expand would be nice as well. The humor here and there is always at the perfect timing.
I love Blue Bloods, Yes renew for 8th season.
Please renew for an 8th season. Also it is about time that Jamie got promoted.
With everything he has accomplished undercover, broke up the Blue Templar. He should at least be a patrol Sargent. Let’s be realistic. Plus he a Janko should at least attempt a fling.
I would love for Jamie and Eddie to actually get together, married with kids. Not just a fling.
Blue Bloods should run as long or longer than NCIS…. it’s that good.
