PLEASE renew – love this show. The cast rocks and by this I mean not just the leads but also the supporting cast members!! Just sorry that Jennifer Esposito is gone. She was great — maybe you could bring her back?
I agree great show
Watching it in Europe! Please renew!
Renew, please!!! Our favorite show!
Escribo desde Colombia, Sur America, para decirles que tambien aca nos encanta Blue Bloods, por eso a nosotros nos gustaria que la serie fuera renovada para una cuarta temporada. Please renew Blue Bloods, it is a great show.
Without exception this is the best show on television today. I only watch two network shows, one is The Middle and then Blue Bloods. If I could only watch one it would be Blue Bloods.
I hope the people in charge of putting this show on, realize what a great show it is. From the writing to the cast. It has it all, quality , style and class. You care what happens to this family every week. Please pass this on to the powers that be at CBS.
Thank You
Margaret Hager
Please renew!!
Great show with family values…..
Great show, writing, cast chemistry. Whole family can watch. The positive interpretation of family life and relationships fills a huge void on TV. Love it!
Bring back jennifer/jackie! Then Please renew!
Please renew!!!!!!
BEST SHOW ON TV RIGHT NOW !!!!!! RENEW RENEW RENEW !!!!!!
Please renew Blue Bloods. It is on ONLY Primetime show that I watch!!!!! It is the only TV Show that has old fashioned family values. Maybe if more families had Sunday dinners together like we did when I was a kid, this world would be a better place to live!
Love Tom Selleck!!!!! He’s like a bottle of wine ….gets better as it ages!!!!!
I think it would be a shame to cancel this show! It has an excellent chemistry. Maybe do not focus on Danny Reagan so much and give the other cast members a story line more often, especially Tom Selleck.
Please give it a 4th season!
Bring back Jennifer Esposito, CBS decision to not try to help with her filming schedule really hurt the chemistry of the show. Jackie was a main character with potential for further story lines. To Selleck is always a draw, but messing with a main character while the show is just starting to gel was a bad call. Shows like this are good FAMILY shows that are enojoyable. If this show fails it is on the NETWORK
love it. Rew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m from New Zealand and Blue Bloods doesn’t screen here yet, and I watch online. I have to say Blue Bloods isn’t the same without Jennifer Esposito, that new actress isn’t that great, her and danny don’t work that well together she doesn’t seem the detective type of person. PLEASE BRING JENNIFER BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in complete agreement. I love the show because of it’s family values.
However, I also believe this new actress is not cut out for the part. Bring back Jennifer Esposito she and Danny were made for each other as partners, there was chemistry there.
