‘Blue Bloods’ Season 11 Brings a New Family Member to Sunday Dinner
Fall Preview
Look for an extra seat at the Sunday dinner table when Blue Bloods begins its 11th season.
The occupant is a Reagan in all but name. Joe Hill (Will Hochman, The Code) is the just-revealed grandson of police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck), by way of Frank’s eldest, Joe, an NYPD cop killed on duty. Young Joe, who also wears the badge, was embraced by his newfound family in last season’s finale. Now what?
“Is it best for him to have a great-grandfather and a grandfather who were police commissioners, one uncle who’s a very famous NYPD detective, another who’s an NYPD sergeant and an aunt who is high up in the district attorney’s office?” executive producer Kevin Wade has said. “It would completely change how everybody he worked with looked at him and related to him.”
John Paul Filo/CBS
Donnie Wahlberg, aka Joe’s Uncle Danny, is just happy for the company: “I like having more people at the dinner table.”

I love Blue Bloods, I have watched it from day one, and I don’t want it to ever end. I really like the family dinner scenes, as there is always a message there. The shows, reflects, honesty, loyalty, and trustworthy traits for the family. The best show out there!

I'll be so glad when Season 11 returns. I could watch Blue Bloods every night, if it was on. I watch all the
reruns, including those on ION. It's a great clean show!! Tell everyone on there I said, "hello & I'll be glad when they return."

I'm in love with Tom Selleck. Since he was magnum p.i. I enjoy every single one episode. I feel that everyone is very happy with him working together. I dont mind watching over and over. They're all good on their roles, very convincing. I love Danny's temper. And grandpa. Sister. Linda. And now the Joe's son.
grandson comes.everybody is excellent 👌 I can't wait to get more new episodes. Thank you all for great program. Loving ❤ you all.

I still love this show but will never forgive them for the way they killed off Linda. If it was necessary, there were so many better ways they could have done it. Fans never got closure.

Hey what do you mean by add more realism to the show? 🧐 ...what in your opinion makes the characters not “believable?”
(By the way - people like the family portrayed in Blue Bloods do actually exist lol. To be honest there are heaps of cases I’ve been watching & thinking to myself “come on that’s a little lenient isn’t it?” (When I KNOW, that they all hold their job descriptions & oaths they took to carry out the laws of the land & laws of the man, both at work & from the church - VERY SERIOUSLY)
I couldn’t imagine having to live so up tight 😟
*BUT!!!!* - if I were surrounded by the Reagan clan exactly like it is on tv - I’d def drink the coolaid & ask them to adopt me ASAP lol.
I love their family dynamic... not many people are so lucky to live with so many generations & be able to keep brothers & sisters around in the same city (not to mention - all around the same sort professions as well! So cool 😎)
So count me in Reagan’s! Actually I guess that is the only thing I find hard to believe about the show (them all being able to be together as often as they are) but again I have to commend them all on knowing that this is a very rare & important thing and that they should be awfully grateful to be a part of such a close knit bunch 🌸 ☀️ 🌳 😊

Why was Linda taken out of the

Am 1/2 way through season 6 💙 FoxOne plays us 2 eps a day, 7days a week 😁 and lucky for me I haven’t seen any of them before hehe! So I’m stoked that I get 14 fresh eps each week until I catch up to real time 👌🏻 ... I wonder how long they’ll go for! To be honest I was shocked they were still in production when I looked up how many seasons there are but WOOHOO 🙌🏻
The dinners are extremely important in catholic culture to break bread with your family on Gods day. It’s only once a week that they ALL have to be there, so I think it’s a nice (& really only quite small of one), commitment they’ve all made to meet up ONCE a week, no excuses, just the whole family together to help keep the important things going.
They could all so easily get caught up in their jobs & without that Sunday dinner commitment - they’d prob never get around to ALL hanging out at one time, eventhough they’d make “plans” to d so constantly.
Also Eddie+Jamie eat with her mum sometimes because how is it fair if they only ever ate at Jamie’s families place and not ever Eddie’s? Her mum would feel left out if she found out they eat there at Reagan’s but never come see her ☹️
Hmm I dunno I don’t think frank will ever get over his beloved wife 🥺 it’s been so long 🥀 💔 - I truly hope that before the show finishes up for good - that if he steps down as commissioner, he’s going to go into retirement with a new outlook on life, hopefully thanks to the influences of a lovely lady friend for him teehee 🤭�

Love Blue Bloods, even the re-runs - great cast & always good story lines. Looking forward to "new" family edition @ the dinner table! However, when will Danny find love again?

Why did they remove Linda
from the show?
1
-
G
Linda was ‘killed off’ because Amy Carlson completed her 7-year contract with Blue Bloods, and wanted to move on to other ventures.
Remember: This a fictional TV show, and you need to keep yourself in the REAL world.
Thank you for playing!

“Thank you for playing” ??
🙄 Jeez... condescend much?
They were only asking from what I can see - so there’s no need for the attitude. They gave no indication that they actually thought the show was real life 😕 🤔
So grow up or at least show that you’ve got SOME manners next time if that’s not too much to ask.
Better yet - just act indifferent! We don’t need to be passing judgement on each other at all!
No need for an emotional response to such monotone question that was asked, right? 😊
Now, I know...You’re super likely to turn this right around & tell me to stfu because I appear to be doing exactly that - but no, im actually not. I’m just sticking up for someone who didn’t ask to spoken DOWN to just for asking a simple question.
(And don’t bother with any other sort of rebuttals either, because I also know that they didn’t ask for me to butt in like a nosey helicopter parent trying to keep the cotton wool wrapped tight around my child. (Who could very well be a huge old man for all I know 😂 🤦🏻♀️)
I just felt like your smarminess about the whole thing warranted me making just as big of a deal 😝
So take care, stay chill, & post chill too 😉 ✌🏻

Oh no!!! 😱 How did they get rid of Linda what happened? (I’m not up to that part yet but I don’t mind spoilers)
What season does it happen in?

I love the show! Can’t wait for the new season to start. I watch all the reruns every chance I get! I actually watched the complete show from the first series on Netflix!

When is the premiere? So far I just see random older episodes.

It is great to view a strong positive influence from a TV show.

I can not wait for blue bloods to come back on! I want to see Danny and his partner Biez be a couple. I also want to see the commissioner fall in love. Erin and Anthony are cute together and we all can tell he is falling in love with her.

B
I can't wait for season 11 as i remember jo was a middle child gone be for the show started. Cant understand how he has a son almost the same age as his younger brother
-
G
Love this show
-
G
I love this show can't wait to see next episode 11
-
G
Okay, hopefully it will have a bit more realism, Commissioner Frank should have a female interest/friend, why is Eddie/Jamie eating dinner sometimes with her Mom, Erin needs a life, show mor stories on Danny's boys, i could go on. I really like the show but make the family more believable. Sometime everyone is not at dinner or have a few guest.
-
G
I love blue bloods! I would like to see Danny matched with nurse he saved from her bad boyfriend. I would also like for Sean and Danny to take in the Delgado kids until their dad gets out of prison. Danny can keep them safe and on a steady path. Jamie and Eddie should adopt a 10 year old girl

G
A new face would be nice around the dinner table!

Who does Frank’s wardrobe? He wears overcoat, jacket, vest, shirt when others are in just shirts and the vests he wears at Sunday dinner are hideous

I think they should have had the newly discovered son, be of mixed race. That would have for some very interesting story lines.
