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.

Blue Bloods is my favorite show on TV. I love the family dynamics and the important issues broached. I think Blue Bloods shows the difficulties our law enforcement faces, both physically and emotionally and the line they tow as they strive to make the best choices. I feel that it does a great job of honoring our law enforcement. Please continue this series. I love watching it!
Blue Bloods is one of the only network series we watch. Hopefully it will continue. What is a Friday night without the Reagan clan?

EXCELLENT SHOW!!! Please do not cancel this show.
I agree with Dennis McCune and hope the show lasts as long as Law and Order did.
Would like to see Blue bloods last as long as Law and order svu another of my favorite shows would like to see it continue for many years to come
Peter John I realy enjoy watching the show. I tape Friday’s edition, so that my wife and I can watch it at an earlier time during the week. Please keep Eddie & Jamie together as they are made for each other. I think it is the best show on how the law works in a big city like New York. Also if possible, keep the Mayor on as long as you can. They seem to have differences, but they always come to terms in helping the citizens of New York. Great to hear that episode 8 is about to start… Read more »
We are fans of a solid family oriented show. There are so few out there. All issues dealt with ethics and common sense, refreshing in our world today. Please keep this show going
Love this show. Very well done
Blue Bloods is always reliably excellent and is my favorite show. I don’t want to see it go away.
I’m a big fan of Blue Bloods! Love how the family works through all the issues at the dinner table. Donnie Wahlberg is awesome! Tom Selleck has still got IT! But he needs a female interest that he has some real chemistry with. Casting has been lacking there. Bridgette Moynahan is so believable in her roll. I love the relationship she has with her daughter. The actress who plays her daugter is outstanding, love her! Jaime has really developed into a favorite. He is so calm and introspective, but can get his Irish up when needed. Danny’s wife Linda can… Read more »
I love this show and want a season 8! Please!
