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.

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?
I love CBS for airing Blue Bloods. My family and I watch it every Friday night
It is the best drama show on TV bar none!!!
Love,love this show. Please let it stay! We need more shows like this! Having strong role models and thought provoking scripts and family conversation!
Blue Bloods family, the Reagens, feel like the family I no longer have. I dearly love the family Sunday dinners of each episode. I hope for many more seasons to enjoy this great show.
Blue bloods is my families favorite TV show! We have watched every episode and can’t wait until Friday night! The Best show on TV by far!
By far the best show on TV. Stars like Tom Selleck and NCIS Mark Harmon may not be nominated for Emmys, but they sure know how to put together a show that is worth watching.
This is the very best show on TV. I feel like I have always come home on Friday nights and then when I watch reruns it is just like Friday night. I can’t tell you how disappointed I would be if this show were canceled. Like the old saying if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I hope they all want to stay there for a few more years.. It has been fun watching the boys grow up. Thank you for this show…
Please do not cancell this show .Its great!!!!.Want this show on for awhile.Need Eddie and Jamie to get serious.
Please do all you can to keep this show on the air!! It is one of the best shows on TV today. It had relevant material as well as a deep emphasis in family values that are sorely needed in today’s society.
Cast & All – GREAT SHOW!!!
Love this show. It’s definitely worth the expense to present this fine drama. We need Season 8 and beyond!!
Definitely renew Blue Bloods! My favorite show I wait all week for. Still watch reruns!!!
Blue Bloods continues to be reliably excellent in every way. I hope it has a Season 8.
I LOVE BLUE BLOODS! I love the whole family, however I really want to see Eddie at the Reagan dinner table as Jamie’s girlfriend and future wife/mother of his children. They make such a cute couple I really want them to be together. I would love to see Erin and Linda take Eddie under their wing and helped her. I want to see Eddie and Henry have a special connection over food maybe. I want to see Eddie and Danny go toe-to-toe over any kind of subject at the dinner table because I truly believe Eddie can hold her own… Read more »
I agree this is the best show on TV and it is the only show I presently watch. The writing is excellent and addresses current contrversial subjects. Through all the dynamics family values, morals, and ethics prevail. It is amazing the writers even allow the family to pray. All the actors and actresses portay their repective roles so professionally that one almost feels like they are personal friends. Please keep Blue Bloods for more seasons. I hope you can keep Tom Selleck and please develop the role of Jamie. His character has the same inner strength of Commissioner Reagan.
One of the best shows on TV. We love the family values displayed . the writing is great. Tom Selleck has been my hero since he started. All cast members are great. Please keep this wonderful show going.
