Daughter and New York ADA Erin (Bridget Moynahan) is a single mom and the family’s legal compass.

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.

Can’t believe that you would give us a multi dose of Blue Bloods last evening and then tell us that they are not going to be aired any longer? It is the best action movie with empathy, christian morals and personal relationships that I would let my grandchildren watch at any time……..much better than the blood& gore of some of the other police shows…..please put Blue Bloos back on for our enjoyment……and the actors are wonderful……Fleurette
My husband got me on to Blue Bloods a couple of years ago. I love this show and this family and watching the struggles they go through – many of which we all have experienced. Ordinary life things. I especially love the dinner scenes and interactions. Always heartwarming , true to life experiences. We need more shows like this .
I watch Blue Bloods every week. It’s my favorite show to watch. I also have every season taped so on rainy days I have a Blue Bloods Marathon!!
.
My mom and I Love Blue Bloods!!
We look forward to it every week!!!
I love blue bloods. I hope it’s continues through season 8 & beyond. Tom selleck is so good in it as well as the others. Frank Regan is the glue that holds that family together. It wouldn’t be the same without him.
I love “Blue Bloods” I not only want it to be renewed for the 8th season but even beyond..It’s a clean family show that is rare theses days to find…Please don’t make the same mistake like ABC did by canceling “Last Man Standing”..
If “Blue Bloods” is cancel I really can’t support CBS…Then they will be like all the other channels that get rid of shows that are good clean entertainment…
I agree 100% with Lindia. My husband and I love Blue Bloods. It is so well acted and we love the family values . There are few shows on anymore that are wholesome and yet has a great, realistic story line. I’m so grateful they are not canceling
the show.
I agree that they made a terrible mistake with last man standing. I sure hope that blue bloods does not disappear best show on TV. Will just give up TV if this one goes to
I am thrilled! Law & Order SVU and Law & Order CI Always been top two favorite shows. I know that CI isn’t on anymore and I miss it but until now has remained my second favorite show after Law & Order SVU until now, now it’s Blue Bloods. I’m catching up on Amazon Prime so that I will be ready for the 8th season! Tom Selleck has always been an amazing actor but that is not the only reason I watch it now but plays a huge part and makes Blue Bloods my second favorite show. No it is… Read more »
Great show hope it stars on forever. Just the right amount of action and drama.
I love Blue Bloods, and cannot wait to see what happens between Jamie and his partner Eddie. Great chemistry, cute couple and who knows, maybe even a marriage. Love to see Eddie join the Reagan family dinners. Anita Imazumi PS Tom Selleck is still great looking.
I love Blue Bloods . Great actors on this show .
We are so happy Blue Bloods is coming back one great show it makes our Friday night we hope Vanassa Ray is coming back.
Bluebloods is a fantastic family show. It’s so nice to see family sitting at Sunday dinner and praying together being thankful for family and everything God has blessed them with. I know it can become a little redundant in its themes but Please don’t cancel Maybe season eight will be a little more creative. Still a great cop show!
I like Blue Bloods because it is reminiscent of family shows of the 50’s and 60’s and excellent writing, and cast. It just works, and yes, I watch the re runs all the time. which speaks to its endurance against other police shows. It is not really violent, but tells stories of the family, how they communicate with each other and has true family values. I hope it runs for a few more years. Want to see what happens with Jamie and Edie, his partner. Hope they end up together, great chemistry all the way around. Interesting characters and everyone… Read more »
I love this show. Great cast. Current content. It’s the only way I’ll ever see New York. I’ve got my adult children hooked on it now. You can’t leave us hanging with Danny’s house blowing up. He has to get his man.
I really enjoy the show, and am looking forward to season 8
I LOVE BLUE BLOOD ITS A GREAT SHOW I want to see season 8
Just started watching this show and am only on episode 3. Love the series already and can’t wait to binge watch 6 seasons. Keep up the good work.
