It is all about money! CBS president of CBS entertainment Amy Reisenbach sold out all Blue Bloods fans for more profits. Blue Bloods always won it’s slot and was in the top scripted shows.

CBS is making a big mistake canceling Blur Bloods. But CBS is noted for making stupid decisions, so they’re following their track record. Blue Bloods IS the vest show of any kind on regular TV. But it takes stupid managers from above to not see the value in keeping a terrific show on air or it’s loyal fan fair. I have watched this show from the beginning every Friday night on Channel 13 because of it’s great stories, dialogs, actors, and locations. It will never, can never be replaced with anything better.
I’m so sorry to see the end of Blue Bloods, especially when the ratings are still very good.It’s been a Friday night staple with me since the first show . I put in in the same category as NYPD Blue.!! Come on CBS why cancel a winner !!!!
Very disappointed that Blue Bloods has been cancelled. Why cancel one of the most popular shows? Doesn’t make sense. Shame on CBS
CBS is so stupid canceling blue bloods. Still doing great in the ratings. I won’t be watching CBS anymore.
