TV show description:
This drama is about a multi-generational family who are dedicated to New York City law enforcement.
New York City’s Police Commissioner, Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck), is the head of both the police force and the Reagan family. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics. Those same politics plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry (Len Cariou), during his stint as Chief.
A widowed father of three boys and a girl, Frank’s essentially a blue-collar guy who’s worked his way up through the ranks. It hasn’t been an easy journey, particularly because he lost his eldest son in the line of duty.
Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) is the oldest surviving Reagan son and a seasoned detective. He’s married, the father of two kids, and a hot-tempered Iraqi War vet who occasionally uses dubious tactics to solve cases.
The sole woman in the Reagan family is Erin Reagan Boyle (Bridget Moynahan). She’s a New York Assistant District Attorney and a newly single parent of a teenage daughter. She also serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father. It was her mother’s wish that she and her younger brother stay in law enforcement but off the police force. She and Danny have each other’s backs but know how to push each other’s buttons too.
Jamie (Will Estes) is the youngest Reagan, fresh out of Harvard Law and the family’s “golden boy.” Unable to deny the family tradition, Jamie decided to give up a lucrative future in law and is now a rookie cop, much to the chagrin of his fiancee. Things become extra complicated when he’s asked to become part of a clandestine police investigation that the rest of the family knows nothing about — something that could impact the family’s legacy forever.

I know there is a cult following to this show. But it’s time has come to bring it to an end. It’ become tired, staid and boring.
Please keep “Blue Bloods” on the air. Like the Reagans, the Dawsons are a three-generation law enforcement family that enjoys the series. I have written a letter to the cast, writers, advisors, directors, and producers of the “Blue Bloods” Team expressing gratitude for their talent and hard work. The series gives viewers much enjoyment that I found it necessary to do online research attempting to get my letter to the Top CBS Executives. It is my desire to share my family background and the lessons the series gives to this and other law enforcement families. There is nothing more that… Read more »
I’m a Canadian with no interest in the so called royalty. They have long past their value as world leaders, or societies behavior examples. Your high number of viewers are merely looking for another freak show and are not respective fans who enjoy the weekly happenings of their favorite programs. Please give us our daily shows and forget about Oprah and her special guests!

Truly one of our favorites! Blue Bloods has always delivered excellent writing, character development & a family atmosphere while maintaining a sense of change with current events. We appreciate that sometimes it doesn’t go as we think it should. Hopefully we learn more about Joe Hill! Great plot twist! Here’s to more seasons with the Reagan’s!!
