What this means for blue bloods
The special could provide more closure
The fact that Blue Bloods: Celebrating a Family Legacy is being done is indicative of how much there is to reflect on Blue Blood. Over the years, the series has gained a sizable and loyal fan base. It was an immense success overall for CBS. This large following is part of the reason behind the extreme upset from both fans and cast members alike over the news that Blue Blood was being cancelled.
Hopefully the Blue Blood retrospective can give an added sense of finality to fans heading into the latest episode of Blue Blood. The episodes from the second half of season 14 have been well-liked by fans so far, with the recent episode boasting a 7.9/10 rating on IMDb, for example. This positive trend could help boost Blue Blood in a successful end to the series. The ratings for the Blue Blood the special may be low on the day of its release due to the episode’s situation the day after Thanksgiving, but it will likely still liven up the finale.
Our take on Blue Bloods news
CBS is really getting to the point where Blue Bloods is over
Although the Blue Blood special might be a fascinating way to appreciate the series, but it also seems to put the nail in the coffin that the show is definitely ending. Even when star Tom Selleck asked the network to reconsider, CBS remained adamant that it would not revive the show for a 15th season. Blue Bloods: Celebrating a Family Legacy Seems like more proof that CBS won’t revive Blue Bloodbecause instead, they’re looking for something that gives fans closure. Hope still remains for a Blue Blood spinoff, but even that would be a long way off.
