Tom Selleck, the 79-year-old star of CBS’s long-running hit “Blue Bloods,” has expressed his frustration with the network’s decision to cancel the show after 14 successful seasons. In a candid interview with “TV Insider,” Selleck didn’t hide his disappointment, emphasizing how *Blue Bloods* consistently delivered solid ratings. The crime drama, in which Selleck portrayed Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, ranked among the top 10 most-watched shows in 2023-2024. Despite its success, CBS decided to end the series, a move Selleck finds baffling.

Fox reported that Selleck pointed out that “Blue Bloods” had a devoted audience and consistently performed well in its Friday night slot. “The show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go,” Selleck remarked, adding that it will take time for him to process the show’s end. He expressed deep affection for his castmates, comparing the bond between the actors to that of the close-knit Reagan family depicted onscreen.

Selleck made it clear that he has no plans to retire from acting. He’s hopeful for future roles, particularly in Westerns, and he still hopes CBS might reconsider its decision. The final eight “Blue Bloods” episodes will air starting October 18, 2024.
