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.

There’s not much worth watching on TV these days, but Blue Bloods has been the exception. We not only have watched all the programs through season 8, we still watch reruns on ION. We were shocked when we found out that the character Linda had died, but relieved to find that in real life she is still with us. Hope to see her on future programs. Would love to see her return on Blue Bloods some way. To Amy my wife and I say that we greatly enjoyed your realistic performances and wish you the best. You were a part… Read more »
Please do not cancel this show. It’s one of the best EVER! Tom Selleck is always outstanding. Others are very good, story line very contemporary, excellent portrayal of how a real family loves, supports each other and handles conflict. Great to see them at family dinner and in prayer. Love this show!!
To many Ncis shows not enough blue bloods…..charles
Sorry for the Mistype I tried to correct it but they don’t have no edit button so I will state what I said ln my previous post The ratings probably went down because they killed Linda a big mistake a huge and dumb move A lot of people including myself made it clear that they would stop watching Blue Blood for that reason so being that they made that stupid move they have to suffer the consequences meaning the ratings going to get lower and lower until they find a way to bring Linda back the chemistry was a great… Read more »
Blue Bloods is a great show, Hope CBS
Realizes to keep it on the air.
He’s probably losing ratings because they kill Linda or off bad move big mistake they should have never killed two off a lot of people I saw who stated even myself we wasn’t watching it for that so they got to pay the consequences till they bring Linda back the ratings going to get lower and lower don’t screw up a good thing if nothing wrong with it

We definitely want more seasons of Blue Bloods!

It’s a Wonderful show good family show and needs to be renewed not cancelled
Really looking forward to a season 9 for Blue Bloods. I think they are at a point that offers the opportunity for lots of new and interesting episode stories.
I have watched Blue Bloods ever since their first show. The reason i started watching is because I love Tom Selleck. And he is still the main character to me. But i have come to love all the characters in this show. I watch every Friday night and I would be more than upset if they cancel this show and I’d also be upset if they move it to a day or time that wouldn’t benefit the show as far as ratings go. I am very upset about them taking the prayer at the dinner table out. Maybe they didnt… Read more »
yes please add a new season 9. this is a fantastic series!
Blue Bloods is the best show on tv according to my husband and I. We watch faithfully every week since its beginning. Our favorite part of this show is the family values and even moral values that are intertwined in the show. Please do not cancel it. We would sorely miss it. Thanks.
Keep this show going! It’s one of the most decent shows on and add a love interest for Danny have Nikki gone the rank and file!
Blue Bloods is a really great show, do not cancel it!
I have watched this show from the very first episode and found it most enjoyable. Hated to see Danny’s wife die but the actress playing her decided it was time to call it a day. There are still many story lines that can be used including Danny getting back into the dating scene big time, his sons having challenging adventures, and any/all of the full cast members getting involved in situations that are law enforcement or city government related etc. Blue Bloods still has a future if only given a chance. It is a keeper.
