In fact, 8.02 million viewers watched the show during the final week of April, which is an even bigger feat when you consider it’s the 10 p.m. program on Friday nights and the show regularly bests earlier shows MacGyver and Magnum P.I. in total viewers.
The reason this is a pretty big deal is that CBS has not officially officially renewed Blue Bloods yet.
Regardless, the last ratings announcement from the Eye Network indicated the series is still Friday’s top program in total viewers.
