What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Blue Bloods follows a multi-generational family of cops, the Reagans. Patriarch and New York Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) leads both the police force and the Reagan brood. Daughter and New York ADA Erin (Bridget Moynahan) is a single mom and the family’s legal compass. As the eldest son and a seasoned detective Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) sometimes uses questionable tactics while working cases with his partner Detective Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez). His wife Linda (Amy Carlson) is a bastion of support. Golden boy and Harvard grad Jamie (Will Estes) is the youngest of Frank’s kids. He gives up his legal career to follow the family’s law enforcement tradition. The cast also includes Len Cariou, Sami Gayle, and Vanessa Ray.

Telly’s Take
While theBlue Bloods rating numbers in the important 18-49 demo are nothing to crow about, the show still draws lots of eyeballs to CBS. Even in its seventh season, Blue Bloods remains one of The Tiffany Network’s top five shows in terms of total audience, despite the fact that it airs on Friday nights. It also does well in syndication. Since star Tom Selleck is only signed through the current season, a Blue Bloods season eight renewal will likely come down to whether he and his key cast mates want to continue making the police procedural drama. Right now though, I expect CBS will pick up Blue Bloods season eight, provided all parties can come to terms.
3/23 update: Blue Bloods has been renewed for an eighth season. Details here.

I hope Blue Bloods will be continued.It is an excellent show.I would love to see Jamie and Eddie get together .Their personalities compliment each other. They already have feelings working together.I would like to see them get married and have a small wedding at the Reagan home.Also still work together as an undercover couple.i feel this would be very interesting and with their personalities can do a lot of good. They work well with the teenagers, elderly and mental health issues.In some episodes maybe Danny and Jamie work together and Eddie and Baez work together .
Best show on TV!
Love Blue Bloods..best show on TV! Please continue it!
Love this show!! While I love all the actors, Tom Selleck is the reason this show is so great. He is wonderful in the role as father, grandfather, son and police commissioner. Without him I don’t think the show will remain such a huge success. I would love this show continue for many, many more seasons, after all it is the only reason I pay for CBS all access! I think this show deserves a better time slot though. It has proven to be a success with the one it has now, can you imagine the ratings if it had… Read more »
I believe that the ratings for this show will drop excessively. Frank in the root of the show. Taking him out is a big mistake. There is another site that they took the main characters out and I refuse to continue to watch it any longer. I will do the same, no matter how much I love the show.
I love Blue Bloods and hope it is renewed!
This is a great series. I hope it continues to run for many more seasons!

I am disappointed that the table blessing has been omitted, as is a custom with many Americans. I no longer watch the show, which had been one of my many favorites, for that reason
