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?
We are so angry that Cbs chose to run a double session Hawaii 50 instead of the last issue of Blue Bloods!!! We plan our whole weekend around it! WHEN?????
Best series on TV in my opinion! It reflects a strong, loyal family in a realistic manner. We watch it every Friday and watch the reruns during the week.
I LOVE the series of Blue Bloods, I look forward to watching it every Friday!!
Please renew great show
Blue Bloods should be picked up for season 7. Love Blue Bloods it should.not be cancled!!
Blue Bloods is a great hour of television, and truly the best procedural drama on television. The show still has room for growth after 6 years viewership on CBS. In addition to that I do believe Will Estes (Jamie Reagan) should have a more expanded role in the series, as the last few seasons have been to heavily focused on the daily ongoings of Donny Wahlberg’s character (Danny Reagan). Its fairly easy to see the Jamie Reagan character is the wildcard in the writers back pocket. I hope he’s promoted and given more autonomy and depth in season 7.
Blue bloods is truly the best Cop program ongoing. The Younger Brother for season seven needs to become a detective.I believe he is a better detective than brother Danny. CBS is not stupid cancelling this show would not be smart.
please do not cancel this great show –it actually shows human morals and I love this show even my teenage daughter likes watching this –please leave this show alone –one of the best on TV now
Who said they were?
Love Blue Bloods!!
This is the best show out there. Do not cancel.
Who said they were going to?
BLUE BLOODS is the best TV show ever. Just love the entire cast. Cannot function without this show. Just love the plot, the Irish family bond and the
insight to the jobs our men in blue perform to keep us safe.
Please continue this show.
I am so very glad that you renewed Nlue Bloods. It is one of the best shows on TV.
Please do NOT cancel this series.Blue Bloods manages to portray job dedication & family values without people hopping in bed & using foul language. There is so much trash out there, this deserves at least one more season!
I love it
About time that a great show was not cancelled. Shows that need to be cancelled are not like reality shows and people taking their clothes off need to be cancelled. Really happy that the 7th season was approved. Tom Selleck is awesome!
