'Come to your senses': Tom Selleck advocates for 'Blue Bloods'
Tom Selleck, the leading actor in CBS's long-standing series Blue Bloods, has publicly urged the network to reconsider its decision to end the show after its 14th season. In a recent conversation with CBS News, Selleck expressed optimism about a potential reversal of the decision, stating, "I still believe that CBS will come to their senses." He also highlighted the show's impressive performance and popularity among viewers.
Selleck highlighted entire cast's willingness to return
Selleck emphasized the show's success, noting that Blue Bloods ranks as "the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast" and is consistently "winning the night." Adding, "All the cast wants to come back," the actor noted, "And I can tell you this: we aren't sliding off down a cliff. We're doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don't know. You tell me!" He has been portraying Commissioner Frank Reagan since the police-procedural series first aired in 2010.
CBS stands firm on 'Blue Bloods' cancellation despite pleas
Despite Selleck's appeal, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach confirmed that Blue Bloods would conclude after 14 seasons. During an announcement about the network's upcoming schedule, Reisenbach acknowledged the cast's plea for reconsideration but maintained that "all shows have to come to an end." She emphasized the need for refreshing the network's lineup as a key factor in this decision.
