“Tom Selleck Hopes CBS Reconsiders as He Aims to Continue ‘Blue Bloods’ After 14 Years”
For over a decade, Blue Bloods has captivated audiences with its compelling narrative and the multi-generational Reagan family of police officers. The show intricately portrays the personal and professional struggles of the Reagan family, led by Frank Reagan, played by Tom Selleck. This blend of family drama and police procedural has set Blue Bloods apart from other similar shows. Despite its impressive run and strong fan base, the show is set to conclude with a two-part final season. Nonetheless, Tom Selleck remains hopeful that CBS will reconsider its decision to end the series.
Tom Selleck’s Plea to CBS
For the past 14 years, Tom Selleck has portrayed Frank Reagan, the NYPD commissioner and patriarch of the Reagan family. The show explores both his role in law enforcement and his relationships with his four children, who are also police officers. Blue Bloods continues to enjoy significant popularity and high ratings, ranking as the third-highest scripted show on broadcast television.
During a recent interview with CBS News, Selleck expressed his frustration and hope for the show’s continuation. “I remain hopeful that CBS will reconsider their decision. We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to return, and our shows continue to be strong. So, I’m not sure why this decision was made,” Selleck said.
Despite the initial excitement of joining the show in 2010, Selleck’s current sentiments reflect a reluctance to part ways with a show that remains vibrant and beloved. His plea underscores the deep connection he and the cast have with the series.
Fans’ Resistance to the Cancellation
The decision to cancel Blue Bloods has sparked widespread discontent among fans and the cast alike. CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach recently announced that the series will end this year, citing a desire to refresh the network’s schedule. However, this rationale has not resonated well with the show’s dedicated followers.
Fans have taken to social media with hashtags like #SaveBlueBloods and have initiated petitions to keep the show on the air. The overwhelming response from viewers highlights their strong attachment to the series and their reluctance to say goodbye.
As the final season approaches, both Tom Selleck and the show’s fan base continue to hope for a reversal of CBS’s decision, reflecting the enduring impact and popularity of Blue Bloods.
