What do you think? Are you a fan of the Blue Bloods TV series? Do you plan to watch the eighth season on CBS?
Great show! Cannot wait for season 8!
Tom Selleck needs to stay great show. It shows that family can have dinner together at least one a week Great Show
Definitely a favorite to watch after a week of long hrs at work. Excellent show w some fun and humorous lines and sometimes situations. The best part are the family values which are displayed. Love the family dinners…we still have those in my home & lucky enough to have them twice a week since both my father and sister are gone. Please keep the show.
Blue Bloods is our favorite season.
Absolutely will be watchin’, as long as I’m alive 🙂
Blue Bloods Forever!
Love it; my favorite show. I watch all the reruns too even though I have seen them several times. It never gets old!
I watch the reruns constantly and hope for a new season!
May it NEVER be cancelled !!
Blue Bloods is my favorite show. My Friday nights are plannned around it!
My husband and I enjoy watching Blue Bloods & glad it will continue for another season. It is very well written. We enjoy all the characters.
I am so happy that Blue Bloods has been renewed for season 8!
It is the best drama on TV. I really like how the characters have developed over the years and very much enjoy the dinner scenes!
I am a huge fan of the show, Blue Bloods. I’m thrilled that the show has been renewed! I love that there is a high ranking official in Frank Reagan, who always try to find the “win/win, unlike what happens in real life. You have a Commissioner who has ethics. And I always look forward to the family dinner scene. It brings back fond memories!
I agree that Blue Bloods should be renewed. I will definitely be watching the next season. I know Danny place a tough cop but I think he needs to to get results.
I am a big fan of the show but I’m getting bored with Danny’s arrogance and rudeness. His condescending personality is wearing thin.
