People are not loving the trajectory of this “Blacklist” thing. Also, people are not watching “The Blacklist.”
With no U.S. Olympics Trials to help out, last night’s “Blacklist” Season 8 finale actually declined from the previous Wednesday, according to initial Nielsen numbers. NBC came in third place among the Big 4 broadcast networks last night.
“MasterChef” and “Crime Scene Kitchen” kept Fox atop the key demo’s ratings on another Wednesday. And just like last week, Fox can chalk up the “W” in large part to simply not scheduling national programming in the 10 o’clock hour. (Of course, that rarely does much to change The CW’s fortunes.)
