Sunday Ratings: The Blacklist Audience Grows, The Company You Keep Ticks Up
In the latest TV ratings, ABC’s American Idol dominated Sunday in the demo, while CBS’ 60 Minutes easily clocked in with the night’s biggest audience.
ABC | The Time 100 special (with 2.5 million viewers and a 0.4 rating) drew a markedly smaller audience than your typical AFV. Idol (5.1 mil/0.6, read recap) dipped week-to-week, while “bubble” drama The Company You Keep (2.2 mil/0.3) ticked up in the demo ahead of next Sunday’s finale.
CBS | 60 Minutes did 6.8 mil and a 0.4.
NBC | Leading out of Carol Burnett birthday special and Magnum P.I. reruns, The Blacklist posted its fourth-best audience of the season so far (1.9 mil) and its ninth 0.2 rating in 10 episodes. (Note: The Blacklist is confirmed to be moving to Thursdays effective June 1.)
FOX | The Simpsons did 850K and a 0.2, followed by The Great North (640K/0.2), Robert’s Hamburgers (830K/0.3) and Family Guy (910K/0.3).

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. This is only an exhibition, this is not a competition. Please, no wagering.

This Blacklist final season is dragging.
This show has been dragging for a few seasons. It used to be so good & could’ve gone out on top, if they would’ve just ended it a few years ago. Now most people(like me) stopped watching & don’t care anymore, because it got boring.
I did like last week’s episode of The Blacklist. As improbable as the setup was, there was enough to make me smile, and (SPOILERS) I love that we didn’t have to have sit through one big bad this season. Especially one as stuffy and boring as Wu-Jing. Plus, Red saying “oh the hell with it” and popping Wu-Jing’s second in command made me laugh.
Did The SImpsons plan to have a Krusty Fried Chicken visual joke followed almost immediately by a Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial?

How many people think The Blacklist will end with Red’s death?
I do. What I’m wondering is whether or not they’ll bring up who he is to Elizabeth, or just leave it to everyone’s imagination.
Yes, I would think that Red will get his come-uppance somehow and die or be killed. How? By whom? Anybody’s guess!
In the meantime there’s a lot of ‘splainin to do: what is the definitive connection to Liz? Will the Task Force be dissolved? What happens to Red’s criminal empire?
While there have been a few dud episodes, overall it has been very entertaining. All thru the show’s run I have “suspended my disbelief” and allowed the show’s twists and turns to carry me away for fun. What a ride!
Does anyone know how many more episodes there are?
As of Fri 5/19, there are 10 episodes left.
IMDB says It shifts to Thursdays on June 1 with Episodes 16 & 17 & then ends July 13. 🖤
I’m wrong…Episodes 15 & 16 on June 1. 🙏
I hope the Company You Keep gets a renewal
