What Tom Selleck attributes the success of ‘Blue Bloods’ to
Blue Bloods follows a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to law enforcement in New York City. Frank Reagan (Selleck) is the Police Commissioner of New York and heads both the police department and the Reagan clan.
Tom Selleck’s fame only continued to grow when Blue Bloods, the police drama series he stars in, surpassed his other iconic show from the 80s – Magnum PI. The longevity of this series is impressive for a time when short-run programs are becoming increasingly more common. In fact, more than 250 episodes have aired since its inception over ten years ago. Although even Tom himself was astonished by Blue Blood’s immense success amongst viewers worldwide, he is sure that it can be attributed to one simple thing: their straightforward formula which consistently keeps people coming back for more.
“Great actors and great characters and good writing — that’s why it’s still on,” Tom Selleck said on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “I don’t know where the time went, but, yeah, we did 163 hours of ‘Magnum’ and I thought well okay, you can’t get that lucky twice. It was a really lovely little celebration,” Selleck said about Blue Bloods passing 250 episodes.
