I've never watched Blue Bloods (my mom likes it tho) but I'm happy whenever it gets renewed. I have the wierd thing where I like when things that were in when I was a kid are still running cause that means I can't be that old yet lol

I think the looming writers strike might have helped here.

14 Seasons is still kinda young in terms of current, 'long-running series.'
Law and Order: SVU is on Season 24, and according to Deadline the other day, is looking at a 3-season renewal from NBC.
NCIS is on Season 20, and was recently renewed for Season 21.
And Grey's Anatomy just got renewed fro Season 20 the other day.

I wish one of these old action stars would turn out to be liberal, break the mold.

I recommend everyone to watch this half an hour long YouTube dissertation of the show by Skip Intro, who claims that it's pure and unadultered copaganda and the worst cop show on TV overall. It's pretty interesting, much more than the show itself lol.

Martin Sheen, Robert Redford, Ted Danson, Jane Fonda good enough?

Ted Danson is an action star?

Well thanks for making ME feel old with this comment! Gah! :P

Yesss. They're even watching that PI reboot but I think Tom Selleck will always be in their hearts. It's kinda sweet in a way as I wonder which celeb I'll be still loving when I'm in my 70s haha.

If Frank Reagan was a real person, he'd been the longest serving NYPD Commissioner.

Just make sure he doesn't con your parents into selling the mortgage to their house.

Saw that pretty good.

The fact that it is one of the highest viewed shows on US TV was also likely a factor…

Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford are two action stars that you are looking for.

For a typical cop drama the first two seasons were at least watchable because they had underlying plots in the background. After that it got really really really bad and very clearly just caters to the old white people who are anti tech/social rights/whatever.

Rarely just said, but spat, with real teeth-clenched venom.
It's only recently that Blue Bloods has started to mellow out.

I mean, most police procedurals are copaganda. John Oliver did a whole segment on Last Week Tonight about Law and Order and Dick Wolf's unabashed love for the boys in blue.

Seriously, a kid when it started, this guy's is trying to put us in a retirement home.

At least we still have the Simpsons and game shows

I simultaneously can’t believe Greys Anatomy is still running and think of it as the new hospital show on ABC

I frankly doubt it. NGL.

lol weirdos are downvoting all these comments. I think the defensiveness from people shows it's truer than people think

Not only is it still running but based off the commercials it seems like the titular Grey has left the show?

You'll always have The Simpsons.

Reminds me of my dad, so I enjoy watching it. Though my dad always had a cigarette in his mouth. Same hair, same stache, same dipples.

JFC-first it's a fictional show. Two-no it's not the worst, because according to those who say things like that-there's Chicago PD, COPS. The Rookie, etc etc. They're ALL frickin' fictional. We have documentaries, and well real life if we want reality. I mean there's all those who complain endlessly when these shows do show reality, because they watch them to "get away" from our crap reality. Just because our real life is not exactly paradise....why isn't anyone making the same idiot distinctions with the med shows, or lawyer shows, or space fantasy shows???? People spend more time on this, then what needs to be done in our healthcare, especially when it comes to people shooting up schools.

I've never watched an episode of this, but I've always been a low key fan of Donnie Wahlberg's acting so him being on a long running show, that I don't even watch, makes me weirdly happy.

Good thing they aren’t since liberals is one of the most annoying people out there.
