There were several different ways that “Blue Bloods” could have gone with their season 6 finale on Friday night. When you think about it, they could have gone the more violent route with an action-oriented episode, but we get that on the majority of other shows that are out there. Meanwhile, they could have gone […]
Did we just have one of the best Erin Reagan episodes of “Blue Bloods” that we’ve seen to date? We’d argue that the answer here is “yes,” mostly because this was a case for her professional powers to shine, and for her also to know a little something more than we as the audience had […]
We’re not sure we have had a pit in our stomach over an episode of “Blue Bloods” quite like what we had going into Friday night’s installment. The Thomas Wilder saga was coming to a close, and it did so with a case that put Danny through hell in a way that we have not […]
Friday night’s episode of “Blue Bloods” was ultimately titled “Blast from the Past” for a reason. Over the course of the hour, what we effectively ended up seeing was many of the main characters on the show confronted with something important that heavily influenced their decision-making … or at least the characters of Baez and […]
Did you miss “Blue Bloods” over the past few weeks? It’s been a while since we previously saw the show air new episodes on CBS, and it came back on Friday night with “Town Without Pity,” a story that brought to the table some pop-culture relevance and then also the classic police debates that the […]
For “Blue Bloods” on CBS Friday night, there were a wide array of different challenges. One of the biggest ones was simply presenting a story that we would care about given the context of when it was airing. There was no new episode of the show last week, and there is going to be no new […]
You always love it when big-name guest stars get the chance to appear on some of your favorite shows, and with that in mind, we were of course very happy to see Whoopi Goldberg appear on Friday night’s new episode of “Blue Bloods.” This is a woman who always does great work on some of […]
While we would say that there have been some Frank Reagan stories at the center of “Blue Bloods” this season that have not been particularly stellar, we enjoyed the entire core of Friday night’s new episode for him very much. It was in some ways a political stand-off with Mayor Poole (a returning David Ramsey), […]
We do like it when “Blue Bloods” tells a story that is powerful enough to hit home with many of its characters, and we like it even more so when it revolves around someone who does not often get a lot of airtime in Nicky Reagan-Boyle. Erin’s daughter found herself and some friends in hot […]
Did Friday night’s new episode of “Blue Bloods” redefine the show? Hardly, but what we did see was a really strong episode of a show that when it fires on all cylinders, gives you compelling storytelling on all fronts. This episode, entitled “Stomping Grounds,” may be the most complete of the season in terms of […]
