Blue Bloods: The Second Season

Blue Bloods Continues to be One of the Best Programs on TV
So far, after watching the first 12+ episodes of the second season, this is shaping up to be an excellent second season.

The show combines a quality police drama with strong relationships - especially within the Reagan family who are the focus of the show.

All of the actors and actresses are top notch - especially Donnie Wahlberg (Danny Reagan) and Tom Selleck (NYPD Commissioner Reagan).

Scenes around the Reagan family Sunday dinner table are a key component of the series, in which job squabbles and sibling rivalries get worked out with a little collective wisdom. Erin will juggle her legal duties with single parenthood of a...

The only t.v. program we currently watch....

The ensemble cast is terrific and the story lines are really good. A bit of trivia: we saw our apartment building in one of the aerial shots and they filmed on our street for a recent episode.
