It’s a common belief that TV shows that air on Friday nights will certainly be cancelled soon. While that’s often true, Blue Bloods has done very well for CBS, airing on Fridays for nearly its entire run. Will it continue to survive? Will the ratings rise or fall this season? Cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned.
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, Vanessa Ray, 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.
3/25 update: CBS has renewed this series and 10 others for the 2016-17 season. Details here.
5/7 update: You can see the latest night’s ratings in context.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
For comparisons: The fifth season of Blue Bloods averaged a 1.24 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.48 million total viewers.
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 like the Blue Bloods TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a seventh season?
I love Blue Bloods; it’s the best show on TV at the present time. The writers, the actors, the production values, and yes, the family and American values, are all excellent. Thank you and please keep the episodes coming.
Blue Bloods is a great show. I really want to see it have another season. I think because it has a conservative theme to it shows how well it was accepted by the viewing audience.

If you see or hear something that needs to be reported, REPORT IT!
I have read a few comments on other thread about the beginning scenes of season premiere and sleazy dancers. I was rather surprised myself, BUT, this IS a cop show, I’m sure cops deal with this stuff in REAL life too.

While I hope BB steers clear of TOO much of this, I also know that the show shows a lot of shooting and death, which is ALSO real life and people don’t complain about THAT. So, pick your poison… Read more »
Laura, Yes there are two other episodes that have “scantily dressed dancers”. I do feel they are pretty respectful though as the dancers are really wearing bathing suits, one piece and not revealing as much as some other shows which include beach and poolside scenes. What I have noticed watching the season six episodes, is the increase in violence and blood, particularly with Danny fighting the perpetrators. In a couple of the episodes back-to-back, he was being choked so violently that he was passing out. With the amount of blood and violence and fighting, I found myself shrinking back from… Read more »
