It’s easy to love David Ramsey’s work these days. John Diggle is one of the main stars of “Arrow,” and we’ve gotten a chance lately to see some rather cool stories featuring him. He’s also going to be popping up for an episode of “The Flash” soon as Diggle and his wife Lyla deal with […]
Blue Bloods,” like many other CBS shows, has a bit of an old-school airing pattern. Most programs that are out there now tend to air in giant batches, with a long hiatus separating the fall and spring seasons. Part of the idea there is that you can add more programs to your schedule, and try […]
There are many key themes that tend to play out across episodes of “Blue Bloods,” but one of the biggest ones in our mind is easily identifiable: Police conflicts and moral dilemma. How do you know how to do the right thing when that is not entirely clear? Things can be a little bit complicated. […]
If you look across the spectrum of some of the ratings for primetime television last night, the numbers maybe very misleading. On the surface, they all look so great! Yet, at the same time storms in the northeast may be causing them to appear larger than they really are. This is going to be a […]

When you are the Commissioner of the New York Police Department, there are rarely ever moments where you can take a deep breath. You get quite a sense of that in the promo for Friday night’s new “Blue Bloods” episode. The crisis for Frank Reagan can be described as follows: A longtime high-ranking officer appears to […]
At its core, “Blue Bloods” season 6 is a show about the Reagan family. It’s hard to deny that, and we also understand it. The multi-generational nature of the series is one of the reasons why it is so popular in the first place. It helps it stand out from the flurry of other crime […]
Were there many victories in the ratings Friday night? Not so much when you are thinking strictly from the vantage point of shows getting better ratings than when they were last on the air. However, there are at least a couple of shows that are currently showing some positive signs … at least for now. The […]
