‘Blue Bloods’ Fans Start Campaign to Save Show From Cancellation
Blue Bloods fans don’t want the show to end.
As the first part of the final season plays out, fans have started a “Save Blue Bloods” campaign in the hopes that it will urge CBS to let the cop procedural continue.
Blue Bloods is set to end with Season 14. The first part is currently airing episodes on Fridays at 10/9c on CBS, with the second half of the season set to air this fall.
As it stands, the show will end with 293 episodes. The X (formerly called Twitter) account @SaveBlueBloods is advocating for CBS to order seven more episodes so it can hit the milestone 300 episodes mark, if not reverse the cancellation altogether.
The account urges fans every week to tweet about the series to get it trending while new episodes air on Fridays, and it often tweets about the show’s ratings to keep the word out about how popular the show is among viewers. Their aim is to “cancel the cancel,” and they’re hoping social media noise and an online petition will help their efforts. It’s also in the process of collecting fan videos from set visits in New York that will be compiled as a tribute to the show.
As of the time of publication, the fan account’s Save Blue Bloods petition had reached 12,248 signatures. It hopes to reach 15,000. The account’s posts have also grabbed the attention of star Donnie Wahlberg, who has shared fan posts with the #SaveBlueBloods hashtag on his X and Instagram accounts. Avid fans have gotten the show trending on X the last two weeks even as the series airs re-runs. Wahlberg has shared his gratitude for the support in multiple tweets.
“You all never cease to amaze,” he wrote on Friday, March 15.

The Blue Bloods cast isn’t ready for the show to end either. Tom Selleck told TV Insider ahead of the Season 14 premiere that he would continue on the show as long as there was still Frank Reagan stories to tell.
“CBS will find an awful lot of people aren’t ready to say goodbye to it,” he said. “The show’s more popular than ever, and I think [numbers] will increase with the interest this year. We’re certainly not out of ideas.”
“I’m not counting the days so I can do something else,” Selleck continued. “I love the work. Sometimes the hours are a little harder because I’m older, but so what? I want work as long as they’ll have me.”
Blue Bloods fans certainly support this sentiment.

Please keep Blue Bloods on the air. My son and I have watched it from the beginning. It's a terrific show that promotes the police and the importance of family. All of the characters and their interactions are so good. We've lost a lot of great shows in the last few years. Don't take this one away as well.

Typical new reporters age: didn’t include a link to sign the petition… my favorite show and very few high quality shows on network tv and free air broadcasts. Shame on Kelli Boyle reporting and writing. Not the first time Boyle has blown it!

All Blue Bloods fan's should protest outside Cbs headquarters. And nkotb fan's should lead it as they are trying to save Blue Bloods. Every fan of Blue Bloods in the states should protest. As for us fan's in the the rest of the world send email's and snail mail.

My finance and I love this show. It’s an excellent show that shows the importance of family values. It’s nice to see Frank, Pops, Erin, Danny, Jamie and now Edie and Joe at Sunday dinner having their discussions, disagreements, jokes and still manage to come together and find a solution as a family at the end. We also love the way Frank, Baker, Sid and Garret get along as a staff. We like the way they argue and joke around with each other but still keep it professional. They are like Frank’s second family. We wish Linda was still on the show. It’s not the same without her. We love the show so much that we watch it everyday on all the channels they give it on. It’s an amazing show. Please do not end the series. Keep the show going. It’s the only show we look forward to watching every Friday. If we could make a suggestion for your new series, could youPlease make it official for Erin and Jack to finally get back together as Family again. They make a great couple. We also would like to see Danny get together with the medical examiner Megan Carson or the nurse Faith Madison that he helped with her abusive ex-boyfriend. We would really like to see Danny settle down with one of them. Those are the only two women that would be great candidates for Danny. We also would love to see Jamie and Edie have a baby. It would be nice to see Joe Hill more at Sunday dinners as well. Just a few suggestions to keep the show going and not ending. Please continue the series. Don’t end the series.

What is wrong with this network? Cancelling Blue Bloods is ridiculous!!!! So many fans love the show and the family values it represents. Planning on putting another reality show - ugh. You obviously don't care what your audience wants. THEY WANT BLUE BLOODS TO CONTINUE!!!!!! This just give us another reason NOT to watch this network or their shows.

This is one of the best series that I've ever seen! Growing up in the New York City area the other shows that I thought were phenomenal were NYPD Blue and the Sopranos. Blue Bloods also represents the area! What a fantastic show!

I’m seriously disappointed with CBS for making the decision to cancel! I’ve been a fan since the first episode! I love the characters and family oriented episodes. Fans can go to INSTAGRAM @savebluebloods. In the profile you can find the link to the petition. It’s now much higher in numbers hitting 15K over the weekend!

I am a huge fan of this show since the very first episode! Never missed one even watch all the repeats whenever it’s on! And I have a rule when it’s on phone goes off and I’m not to be disturbed unless it’s a commercial if important!! I don’t want to see it end and if it does I promise cbs I will never watch another thing on this station!! This will be the worst thing to happen!! Don’t take my blue bloods addiction away!!!

Please don't cancel Blue Bloods it is the only show that I watch. I have seen every single episode since came on. I also watch the reruns.

What?? Sorry, I don't understand your comment.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I think it's time for the show to be retired. Go out while it's still good and popular and competitive in the ratings. I bet most of the actors are ready to move on to new projects. Except Selleck... he's probably ready to retire and pick and choose future projects that he really likes. (I've heard e travels from LA to NYC for this show, so... that probably get old years ago.)
