I just couldn’t get into it. I would rather he would do more Jesse Stone Movies for TV. I can’t get enough of them!

The author makes the show seem interesting.

Yet, it seems to me pure fantasy.

I love this show, but Friday night????? Horrible night to be on. It is LUCKY that CBS is so generous to this show. The ratings are horrid.

Can’t really forgive Selleck for playing a fag in the homo-propaganda film “In and Out.” Unless someone can point to proof that he has repented of this contribution to present day homo-fascism, he is complicit in it still.

Oh brother. The network allowed Touch by an Angel, Waltons, and so so many other incredible family shows. CBS is really the best network of them all. They just have to work on their comedies….they are a bit on the raunchy side.

Six guys I grew up with were on the NYPD. None of them cared about any case 1/10 as much as depicted on this show.

That was on decades ago. Perhaps he was strapped for money. Maybe he confessed his sins. We don’t know.

I watched it for the first time last week and it centered on the knock out game. And they didn’t PCify it. They clearly went after the young black gangs. And even mocked the PCness of politicians. The writers are not liberal.

“multi-generational family of cops” should be illegal because it breeds arrogance, contempt, and aloofness from other types of works in life.:
viz.

I, Perchance, being of the ignorant peon class,
would proffer the following proposition:

A. for a legislature bill that in each state for local, state and federal agencies that all law enforcement personnel be restricted by LAW to a maximum of 5 years on a public police/peace officer/state trooper etc., taxpayer funded institution employed position. Said law would allow only a one-time 5-year hire for the entire life of the officer/LEO. Said law would not allow said ex-officer to be hired again by ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY or private security company ANYWHERE IN THE USA for employment in the USA. This would allow new citizens to be hired FROM THE PEOPLE who are uncontaminated by the “master-race syndrome” of present day LEO`s. This would prevent abuses by former bad cops going into private industry employment marketplace.
This would include ALL FEDERAL AGENCIES including EPA, DHS, BORDER PATROL, IRS Etc. [US MILITARY EXCLUDED]

B. No more than one member from each three generation family [grandfather-father-grandson/daughter etc.] would be allowed to be hired as a police office each 20 years.
This would obfuscate the hand-me-down illegal “me-master-family-you -peon attitude of present day police families.

C. Every year each police office would be required to take a required course on the U.S. Constitution and their respective state constitutions addressing the Second Amendment historical bases, precedents, principles and practices up to the year 1914.

No gun control classes would be allowed by any police officer as it would result in his/her/it immediate dismissal.

After said 5 years, no more duty would be available unless it is a national emergency call-up terrorist attack from a foreign-based country.

This would offset the arrogant -cop-for-life milieu that illicitly pervades America`s armed police.

Blue Bloods is my favorite TV show, second only to Justified.

This season we have a case on drag queens and we find out that Detective Danny Reagan is a big fan because he followed them on a reality show. He refers to the men by their female on stage names as a sign of respect then goes to the draq queen bar after the case is over to grab a drink.

Then on another show he goes out of his way to protect a closeted Hollywood A lister. Hollywood star goes under cover to help him get a mugger and they become pals based on mutual respect.

Danny Reagan is the go to Detective for the LGBT club.

Still, having said all that, one of the least liberal shows on TV. Do I DVR it.

"The ratings are horrid."

You need to check your facts. The program has been renewed for a fifth season. Viewers average between 11 and 12 million each week.
