What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Blue Bloods stars Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Will Estes, Len Cariou, Marisa Ramirez, Vanessa Ray, and Sami Gayle with Whoopi Goldberg, Will Hochman, Eric B., Abigail Hawk, Gregory Jbara, Robert Clohessy, Steven Schirripa, Andrew Terraciano, and Lauren Patten in recurring roles. The show revolves around the Reagans, a multi-generational family of New York City cops that’s dedicated to law enforcement. Patriarch Frank Reagan (Selleck) is the New York Police Commissioner and runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family. His unapologetically bold father, Henry (Cariou), previously served a stint as Chief. A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son, Danny (Wahlberg), a seasoned detective, family man, an Iraq War vet. Danny sometimes uses dubious tactics to solve cases with his partner, Detective Maria Baez (Ramirez). Frank’s daughter, Erin (Moynahan), is a New York Assistant District Attorney who is also a single parent to her daughter Nicky (Gayle). Frank’s youngest is Jamie (Estes), a Harvard Law graduate and the family’s “golden boy.” He passed on a lucrative future in law and follows in the family footsteps as a cop. Eddie Janko (Ray) is Jamie’s wife and a fellow officer.

Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Blue Bloods for season 12? This show has been very successful for the network but all things have to end sometime. I don’t think Blue Bloods will come to a close just yet but, if Selleck decides he’s done, I think the show is too. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.

If the great actors of Blue Bloods are willing to keep doing this wonderful show then my family and I are most definitely going to keep watching it !!!!! We miss it very much on the nights it’s not on due to specials or due to this shorter Covid episode season.
Please please keep these great storylines and heartwarming family dinners coming into our homes for as long as possible !!!!!
Blue Bloods is worth turning on the TV for. My wife and I have watched every episode from the start so both of us want this to keep on going. It’s a “Must Have” in this house so keep going please your needed here in the UK.
CBS I hope you don’t cancel Blue Bloods it’s one of the only shows. That my mom watches from home, and I watch from my place. During commercials we call each other, and I enjoy the time talking to her. So thank you Blue Bloods for my mom time.
Please don’t cancel the show CBS
They keep inserting stupid programming in the time slot for Blue Bloods that has previously aired or timeshifted it to another week. Difficult to get ratings when you cancel the show on any given week. Too bad I can’t pay my bills like that!
Blue bloods is the best show on the air!!!Perfect casting,wonderful writing with innovative stories….The wholesome but realistic family relationships amid current and troubling times within law enforcement is refreshing among most of what we have to pick from on most networks these days..not to mention the “biased”news coverage about our brave boys in blue
Bluebloods is the best show on air. I hope CBS never let it go!
Bluebloods is the best directed and acted program on tv.
Absolutely our favorite show. Builds on different personalities and abilities of family members. Love the way the commissioner deals with difficult situations but with integrity.
I would be very upset if blue bloods was cancelled and very upset with CBS. It is the best show on on TV
Love this show!
Same here!
the show should go on for at least one more season. If viewership is down it is because of the virus limiting number of new episodes and so much streaming with the Netflixes and other content providers. There is too much choice today and more quality shows with excellent story lines, interesting characters and good writing like blue bloods would make finding good entertainment easier and more satisfying.
This is one of the best shows on television. If ratings have gone down a bit it’s because of some weeks on some not due to filming with covid. There are more stories to tell of the Regan family.
Please keep it on ! Bias, and Joe are having a larger role. Don’t break what is not broken !! Love this show !!! My favorite !
Keep Bluebloods on!
KEEP Bluebloods on time to turn off Nbc
no way there are just as good shows on nbc ie: this is us, chigago fire and special victims unit
Great Show! Real Family Values! A+
Blue bloods is a great show best show ever I don’t like evil show’s at all keep Blue Bloods on .
Interesting, entertaining, one of the best shows on TV. Please, please continue this great show!!!
Please don’t cancel. I think all fans like to find out more about linda’s death and if jamie and jemko will have any kids and how far their relationship will go. Another thing for Tom selleck to play a police commissioner and hold a very upstanding role better than magnum pi. It’s a better spot for him. He has shown the fans of blue bloods how every situations that all police deal with every day is truly like. So please continue the show, we all want to see this show continue. Thank you.
Leave Blue Bloods alone–great program.
