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 still a long time favorite for us. We record every episode & watch later. We keep them to review each series. Live ALL CAST of the family. We do wish Danny would change some macho arrogant ways. It gets old, his always pushing his way.
No, that’s the part I like. I come from NYC. It’s the only way to be to make the show great.
I’m so glad its been renewed for another season! Love this show! Love the family dynamic and the story lines are always great!

This show is great and I never miss a show, the characters are such a perfect fit, it would be sad if it got canceled
As a retired officer and now security officer I rank this show # 1 !!!!! Family values are awesome and the police work accurate. Please keep it on. Best entertainment on T.V.
