Last week, CBS premiered their new Friday night cop series, Blue Bloods. This marks the return of Tom Selleck to CBS in a regular TV show. His last series for the network, Magnum PI, lasted for eight seasons. Will this one last as long or be quickly cancelled?
Blue Bloods revolves around the Reagans, a multi-generation family of New York City cops. The series stars Selleck, Bridget Moynahan, Donnie Wahlberg, Will Estes, Len Cariou, and Dylan Moore.
Last week, Blue Bloods debuted to a 2.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 13.01 million total viewers. That was enough to be the most-watched show in its timeslot and for the whole night in both categories.

By historical comparison, that’s a significant improvement in the timeslot. Last season’s sixth season premiere of Numb3rs attracted just a 1.8 in the demo and 8.10 million viewers.
CBS is no doubt very pleased with this performance and, as long as these numbers hold up week after week, it seems like Blue Bloods will be around for quite awhile. Based on a breakdown of the ratings in 15 minute increments, almost all of the people who tuned in for the premiere stayed to watch the entire episode. That’s a good indication that most of them will be back for episode two.
What do you think? Did you tune in to see Blue Bloods? Is the show worth watching or should it be cancelled?

Love this show!!!!
Please CBS give it a long happy life! I love Cop drama’s and this one gives you the heart of a family. I will be very disappointed if this shows goes.
After the first episode, I wasn’t sure if I liked the show or not. I’ve watched every episode and the show gets better and better. This may well be the best new show on tv this year. Don’t be surprised to see this show receive some Emmy nominations. The screen writing is excellent, and the cast is excellent. Best of all, I feel good after watching this show. The family structure of the Reagan’s is wonderful. It’s much more than just another cop show.
This is a truly great show. The dynamic in the story line and between the characters is brilliant; so true to life…I find I can’t wait until the next episode.
This is a wonderful show, I have not missed an episode. The cast is amazing, love how the show intergrates the family and shows them at home. Tom Selleck is fantastic in his part. The writing is great. I hope it stays on. The great thing is that the show is believable…as a police officers daughter, I can relate to the show. Keep the cameras rolling…
My husband and I love this new show. We have always been big Tom Selleck fans so when this show began we were interested in giving it a try. We think it is well written and well acted. The best thing about Blue Bloods is that it is not ashamed to show good family values. The latest episode really demonstrated this by having the grand daughter take her grand father to a handball tournament he used to be a part of and having her being sincerely concerned enough for her sister-in-law and nephews to be willing to go to a… Read more »
LOVE Blue Bloods. LOVE Tom Selleck and Donnie Walberg. The entire cast is a perfect fit. Blue Bloods is certainly on my favorites list and hope the show is here to stay on Friday nights.
