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 started watching BB on Netflix. Instant fan! I’m all caught up and hope this show stays on the air. Please cough up the dough to keep Tom Select. He’s my fav! The show must go on!
Blue Bloods is a top show… the dinner scenes bring us all together for a moment of reflection and prayer… the FAMILY UNIT IS STRONG which is an example we need at this point in time! (Writing gets s little iffy now, but certainly fixable!!). KEEP IT!!!
I hope they continue. It’s my favorite show. If it has to end please on a happy note not with Frank during. I hope it will air another season

This is one of two shows I really love . Working for a police dept, this show comes as close as it really gets to real life policing. Please don’t cancel. Tom Selleck and the whole cast are positively awesome.
