Blue Bloods
Created by Robin Green, Mitchell Burgess
A drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York Police Commissioner and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry, during his stint as Chief. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I am near the end of the 14 season run of "Blue Bloods," which has been my main Show To Watch In The Background while doing stuff for like 2 years. I don't even know how my house will get cleaned once this is done.
positive · AI labelView post →This weekend, I watched the series finales of Yellowstone and Blue Bloods, and I feel like I’m running out of a sense of purpose.
positive · AI labelView post →Trying to think of something worse than the show Blue Bloods but it just isn’t happening
negative · AI labelView post →we're doing sequels to Blue Bloods (2010s TV show) the slow cancellation of the future sucks
neutral · AI labelView post →Tell every old person you know that Trump is the reason CBS canceled the Tom Selleck show Blue Bloods and the midterms will be ours. 🙏 📺
neutral · AI labelView post →I think the same people who watch this show are the ones who watch like Blue Bloods or NCIS.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love finding out an actor actually has a successful career I didn't know about because they're on a show I'd never watch in a million years. Like oh youve been a regular on the past 4 seasons of Blue Bloods this whole time? Good for you! Get paid
neutral · AI labelView post →That happened to my dad once. My brother is an actor, and dad was watching Blue Bloods. Suddenly, "Huh, that looks like my kid." ... "That is my kid!" My brother had kept the role a secret for like a year because he knew dad watched that show and would eventually find out.
neutral · AI labelView post →Most interesting thing about this statement was that the cop mentioned a fash-ass show like "Blue Bloods" instead of something that more people would know like "Law & Order".
neutral · AI labelView post →’ve never seen Blue Bloods aside from the clips shown on Skip Intro’s copaganda YouTube series (which I can’t recommend enough), and Jesus Christ that show is just bonkers with defense of terrible police behavior. @skipintroyt.bsky.social

neutral · AI labelView post →**Explanation:** In the Late Medieval Period, a revolution in infantry tactics and equipment came about, spearheaded (ha) by the Swiss. By getting together a band of highly-motivated militiamen, trusted with their own weaponry and communally trained, they discovered that the knightly elite could be held at a distance - with 3 meter+ long spears (pikes)! While such pikes were not new, the training regimen by independent groups of Swiss militiamen, gathering disparate militia units together…
neutral · AI labelView post →*Thank god* I managed to finish the entire 14 season run of Blue Bloods, which was my top background comfort show of the past three years, before this takeover. Donnie Wahlberg will have to do his spinoff without me.
positive · AI labelView post →learned about the sitcom Meego today, the show where an alien(Bronson Pinchot) befriends a single dad (Ed Begley Jr.) and his three lovable kids (Jonathan Lipnicki, Michelle Trachtenberg, a guy who’s been on Blue Bloods for 14 seasons)
neutral · AI labelView post →I hate that show so much that every time I see a commercial for it, I am irked. Commercials for Blue Bloods - I fast forward or mute because that show is fascist.
negative · AI labelView post →As I have discussed before, it is very true and clear that the politics of Blue Bloods are absolutely bonkers. The ep I just watched had someone make a bizarre "pronouns" quip for like no reason. I do watch this show though.
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw click bait that Blue Bloods was coming back, reading the story they said reruns were surging on Paramount! It was the only show I watched on CBS aside from the Late Show and I was going to enjoy boycotting it. No CBS shows for me.
negative · AI labelView post →Assume Blue Bloods is a hacky cop show on a failed broadcast network.
negative · AI labelView post →"wait does Boston Blue even count as a new show when it's clearly a Blue Bloods rip off?" let me stop you right there. it's not a rip off. it's a spin off.
neutral · AI labelView post →ok im no Blue Bloods expert but i'm pretty sure it's not even really a 'cop show' its just a show about the personal lives of cops right
neutral · AI labelView post →I worked in an office once where they had Blue Bloods on every afternoon in the waiting room and my God that show seemed insufferable
negative · AI labelView post →Millennial after watching an episode of Parks and Recreation: I really find this show to be problematic. The way it promotes neoliberal ideologies is insidious. Boomer after watching Tom Selleck extrajudicially kill people and work with his partners to cover it up in Blue Bloods: haha cops rule

neutral · AI labelView post →When my oldest son turned 10, I realized he had never lived in a world that did not include the Tom Selleck drama Blue Bloods. That show ran for FOUR MORE YEARS after that.
neutral · AI labelView post →In-laws are visiting, which means that Blue Bloods is in heavy rotation in the living room -- and shitty politics aside, this is just such an unfun show. Not even worth a copaganda debate.
negative · AI labelView post →They may have killed The Late Show, CBS News, and 60 Minutes, but at least they still have NCIS, NCIS: Origins, NCIS: Hawaii, NCIS: Sydney, FBI, CIA, CSI: Vegas, Boston Blue, Blue Bloods, Sheriff Country, Marshals, Tracker, and The Equalizer, on the Copaganda Broadcasting Service.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes youtube randomly plays shorts of a TV show called Blue Bloods. And it's usually, unironically, just this.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's not the worst copaganda show though, that would be Blue Bloods.
negative · AI labelView post →I've been binge-watching mindless TV shows. Law & Order, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Blue Bloods. I just finished The West Wing entire series for the 5th time. I couldn't be more depressed. 😖
neutral · AI labelView post →I hate that. And then you're forced to pick random entertainment on the plane. Sure, I'll watch S8 E11 of Blue Bloods even though I've never watched one frame of this show previously

neutral · AI labelView post →This is what annoyed me about all the "is this copaganda" stuff. Yes, technically speaking, it is, but not because it's morally impure, it's because for every Brooklyn 99 there's also SVU, Blue Bloods, Elementary, True Detective, etc etc. It's not one show, it's that there's 60 of them.
negative · AI labelView post →'Blue Bloods' spinoff 'Boston Blue' has added 'black-ish' vet Marcus Scribner as a series regular — find out who he's playing on the CBS drama.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watch any episode of a US Cop propaganda show like Law & Order, FBI, CSI, NCIS or Blue Bloods - According to them if you even look at Fentanyl wrong a Haz Mat team is called in. Would be nice if TV shows would work/write WITH science rather than use crappy plot points backed by tin foil science.

positive · AI labelView post →The funny thing is I only watch CBS now for the football. Bari Weiss is out here like “I am going to show you” and I am like, “show me, what, Blue Bloods?”
neutral · AI labelView post →I highly recommend Skip Intro's series on YouTube about Copaganda, which I think started before Oliver's episode and is still going. He goes through the history of pro-cop propaganda on TV, covering shows like Blue Bloods, Lucifer, Paw Patrol, and The Shield. youtube.com/@skipintroyt...
neutral · AI labelView post →my grandpa is watching Blue Bloods and christ, this show is just bad not just the copaganda, but the acting is bad, the writing is bad, the pacing is bad, the tension is… nonexistent? i’m sure it’s the equivalent of mashed potatoes for some people but goddamn

neutral · AI labelView post →I keep thinking about Blue Bloods, a copaganda show with an implicitly autocratic narrative. And it would STILL be an improvement over the NYPD the city actually has.
negative · AI labelView post →Some people saw that “class traitors” meme and took it way too seriously. Like yeah, let’s unironically compare the *pre-k show where talking dogs work idealized vocations and operate vehicles in an SAR team led by a kid* to *fucking Blue Bloods* for the audacity of having one of the dogs be a cop.
neutral · AI labelView post →I always tell people the fact that 'Blue Bloods' - Probably the most shamefully brazen copaganda show in recent history - was constantly one of the most popular shows on television should serve as an example of how much Americans are awash in law enforcement fetishization.
negative · AI labelView post →I feel like those are usually police detectives. It's when the beat cops and the current system are portrayed as an absolute good such as in Dark Knight Rises or Blue Bloods that it clicks over into Bad Media. Skip Intro has a great series on it which I'd recommend: youtu.be/udhDawfCLHo?...
negative · AI labelView post →I swear to god this reads like the dialog of a poorly written sting operation in a cop show trying to piggyback off of the popularity of NCIS or Blue Bloods
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminds me of the show Blue Bloods where the actor Len Cariou plays the dad to Tom Selleck's character despite only being 6 years older
