Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Blue Bloods for season nine? This Friday night staple has been on the bubble each year. With the current year-to-year ratings declines, I think this could be the year that the Reagan family says goodbye but it probably will survive.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Blue Bloods TV show was renewed for a ninth season? How would you feel if CBS had cancelled this TV series, instead?
CBS would be very foolish to cancel their most popular series. They’ve already made a terrible mistake by losing Amy Carlson. I hope the entire cast realizes this.
My wife and I have been Blue Blood’s Fans from Day One and are currently watching Season 8, WE REALLY WANT THIS SERIES RENEWED FOR AS LONG AS TOM SELLECK AND THE CAST DESIRES TO PLAY THEM! Please DO NOT Cancel this Awesome Entertainment! We are also fans of Tom Selleck from his Magnum PI days! The Cast of BB have become apart of our watching entertainment on Friday evenings. The character death of Linda Reagan played by Amy Carlson was a Shock to say the least, BUT it does open the door wide for All The Characters to be… Read more »
Amy Carlson decided to leave the show on her own. She wasn’t fired. I will miss the character though. Blue Bloods is such a good show. I really hope it gets renewed.
PLEASE don’t cancel this show!! Our family is addicted to it & love the reruns while waiting for new season!
We enjoy the wholesomeness in it is not sex oriented for entertainment value, the story line is refreshing as it focuses on fairly realistic human interactions minus the vulgarity. Very much like the family dynamics, the positive teaching moments, and family dinners. Love Tom Selleck’s character as respectfully leading the family with Pop still actively being the right hand man. Find a way to create a enough new material to keep it on the air – characters may be tired, but we hope they find the energy to continue doing what they are doing so well. Thank you!!
Please continue The Blue Bloods tv show this is one show I love since I had to retire unexpectedly.
This is one of the best police dramas Ive watched and is one of the closest to reality!!!!!
I’m enjoying this series and I would be very upset to see it canceled! I keep my schedule free to see each episode! Don’t cancel!
Blue Bloods is a GREAT show we waiting anciously for the next episode (8)
Blue Bloods is a great show
Do not cancel it ever
It will eventually be cancelled when Tom Selleck wants to leave.
Love, Love, Love this show. Especially the family Sunday dinners and the way they openly express their faith without sounding preachy.
Tom Selleck is the Best! Please get rid of the acting “Mayor”. She’s terrible and what would be even worse is if you put Whoopie Goldberg’s character as mayor.
I would probably stop watching if she were a regular on the show.
Just saying!!
Totally agree with this post, but I can’t seem to vote up on it.
Why not have Whoopi Goldberg as the mayor ?
we did have a
Black mayor ln
New York at one time
Please type here to add a comment. (Note: spam, name-calling, and personal attack comments will be deleted.) I agree, Lorraine Brocco is really good and she and Tom Selleck have good chemistry. She is a fine actress and believable as the Mayor. Great acting chops/
CANT HELP BUT LOVE THE SHOW!
I believe it will be a terrible mistake to take Blue Bloods off. I and many others love the way the family sticks together and has there family dinners. Not many families do that anymore. This sets a great example.
Love this series, but please replace the character that’s playing the mayor this season. She isn’t a believable character. Her character is a total distraction and adds nothing to the series.
I agree with Cindy. Hate the choice for mayor.
I agree with Cindy and sherry
I have been watching Blue Bloods for at least 3 years and love the show. The characters as portrayed really come to life and it is always interesting to see how the various ethical dilemma are resolved. I would just add that I liked the way Niki looked in previous seasons.
I really urge you to keep the show running.
Love this show. First series in a long time to keep me watching. Cutting out the role of Linda is a big mistake. Burn their house 8down then next show kill off wife. Vital character and should have been replaced
I am catching up on all the Blue Bloods and really enjoy them! I miss Linda since she was an anchor for the characters in the family. I will continue to watch Season 8 and hope that there is a Season 9. Thanks.
It would be a better show to continue than some of the inane offerings on the scene, such as “Kevin, oops”. It calls for a few brain cells to be utilized.
I’ve seen blue bloods occasionally. Don’t follow it as much as I should. Like Bridget Moynihan. She adds sex appeal. Kudos on comment on Kevin can wait. It’s unerstanandable how fans feel about cancellation. I agree don’t cancel it. But realistically, EVERY show comes to an end sooner or later.
I would still watch. Love the characters although I’ll miss Linda.
Even with Linda gone, I will still watch Blue Bloods, one of my MUST-SEE TV.
