Led by Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg, among others, Blue Bloods earned an average of 14.41 million viewers per episode in 2016, which is definitely impressive and not far behind last year’s 14.9 million average.
The drama’s numbers in the key 18-49 demographic aren’t always so impressive, but they’re not so terrible that advertisers are pulling anchor.
A drama that regularly makes anyone under 30 flock to Google, Blue Bloods has been about as consistently successful for CBS as any modern series has been over a seven-year span for any network.
