Tom Selleck has voiced his frustration following CBS’s decision to cancel his long-running cop drama, Blue Bloods. The network confirmed that the beloved series will conclude this fall, leaving many fans and the cast disheartened.
In a recent interview with TV Insider, the 79-year-old actor shared his feelings about the cancellation, stating, “I’m kind of frustrated. During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted to talk about an ending for Blue Bloods, but rather about its continued success.”
Selleck pointed out the show’s impressive ratings, noting, “In the Top 100 Shows of 2023-2024, we were number 9 out of 100. If you discount the three football shows, we’re #6!” This highlights the show’s strong viewership and popularity among audiences.
He further expressed his disappointment by saying, “My frustration is that the show was always taken for granted because it performed well right from the start.” Selleck’s comments reflect the sentiment shared by many fans and cast members who feel that the show deserved a more celebrated farewell after its impactful run.
As the series approaches its final episodes, Selleck’s remarks underscore the lasting legacy of Blue Bloods and the deep connection it has fostered with its audience over the years.
