LOS ANGELES – Despite being Friday night's most-watched program, "Blue Bloods," which averages 13.69 million viewers, doesn't get the ink from the critics that other shows do, and series star Tom Selleck, who plays Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, doesn't understand the reason.
"The work on the show is superb," Selleck tells FOX411.com. "It is truly an adult drama. I have no idea why. I think that kind of perception is fostered by people who haven't really seen it. I say that we are as good as any dramatic show on television."
This Friday, March 13, "Blue Bloods" airs an episode that Selleck feels is especially good, so much so that he decided to publicize it. In it, Frank helps a woman whose life he saved when she was only 6 years old meet the man who killed her father, mother and brother through a prison program called Restorative Justice. Frank has been very protective of Sarah (Amelia Rose Blaire) ever since they met, and he is about to walk her down the aisle when she receives a letter from the murderer.

Not saying much. You get a look at the OTHER
drama series currently running on television?
He sets the bar very low.
If people were able to distinguish between reality and television, then the producers of SNL would not have effectively ended Sarah Palin’s career with a few comedy sketches.
Based upon family, good and evil, right and wrong and Christian tenets throughout the show.
I watch VERY little television, but never miss am episode of Blue Bloods (the only series I watch, other than the World Series).
Go to www.cbs.com and watch it online. They have a subscription set-up, but the prior three episodes are free.
Watched the complete show for the first time last week (I’m short on patience when it comes to sitting down to TV) It was really good, so I’ll tune in from now on.
Tom Selleck makes a great TV head of the family.
If you have a local station that carries ION Television, it is going to run for about 16 continuous hours today and tonight.
In one episode, a perp was holding the district attorney sister at gunpoint. Her brother (Donny Walberg), a police officer, came up to try to talk the perp out of it, but wasn't getting very far with it. At a certain point, he said something like, "Don't hurt my family," at which point his sister rolled out of the way and he shot the perp. It was a pre-arranged signal they had in their family in case anyone was trying to retaliate against them because of their various roles in upholding the law. Awesome.
I turned off my tv a year ago. I only watch things online now.
Thank God. Restorative justice is a behaviorist libtard doctrine.They believe that the cause of crime is not the personal choices and responsibility of the criminal, but is the result of the effects of a bad environment on the individual.Therefore punishment should be inflicted on society, not the criminal.What the criminal needs is re-education and forgiveness rather than punishment.
I like Tom Selleck.
That being said, this show is just a “token conservative” show.
I’ve never even seen it, but I know that it has done the obligatory homosexual themed plots aimed at chipping away at the morals of Christians who watch the show, very subtly, very cleverly. Undoubtedly uses the typical means to “chip away” on all sorts of issues, helping to promote the elites’ programs.
Let’s transform culture, conforming it to Christianity.
IMHO...
Stop watching Hollywood entertainment, start creating true Christian entertainment.
Uhhhh....
Word!
Because, the program doesn’t show the media’s biased opinion that all police are bad guys.
I really like the show very much. The reason I like it is because of the family values it portrays. This very thing is probably why the media won’t say nice things about it.
I’ve tried it a couple of times...un-watchable for me.
One of the first episodes, I think a device was set to go off downtown, some guy was trying to phone his wife, and the phone’s battery was low because she hadn’t charged it. What an insipid plot device! I never went back.
Blue Bloods is the best show on TV and tom Selleck’s best role, and “that’s that.”
I never miss an episode and I watch all the re-runs on WGN and ION TV constantly.
We can still get it on the old antenna. Hook up a VCR and your all set.
Not as insipid as the plot of the first episode of the new Hawaii Five-O where the Governor of Hawaii somehow has the power to prematurely end Steve McGarrett’s hitch in the Navy so that he can take over as head of Five-O. NEVER watched another second of it after that (and I loved the old show)
