Tom Selleck spills his emotions about the cancellation of Blue Bloods – a show that left us all on the edge of our seats!

Tom Selleck, the legendary actor best known for his iconic role in Magnum P.I., recently expressed his deep frustration over CBS's decision to cancel the beloved police procedural series, Blue Bloods. After 14 successful seasons as the no-nonsense Commissioner Frank Reagan, Selleck opened up during an interview with TV Insider about how he feels the show's success was taken for granted. The series, which has been a staple of Sunday night TV since its debut in September 2010, garnered a loyal fanbase that has been pleading for more episodes even after the announcement of the show's end.

In a heartfelt admission, the 79-year-old actor shared that he has been particularly impacted by the final episodes approaching on October 18th. "I'm kind of frustrated," he said, reflecting on the emotional toll it has taken on him and his fellow cast members during the shoot of the last eight episodes. Despite the show's cancellation, Selleck believes Blue Bloods was still seeing strong ratings and continued to engage audiences, making its abrupt end feel even more disheartening for both actors and fans alike.

As the series gets ready to air its concluding episodes, fans everywhere are coming together to express their dismay over the cancellation. Many have taken to social media to share their love for the series and their favorite moments of the Reagan family. The bond the characters have built through the years has created a unique viewing experience that prompted countless viewers to tune in every week. Ironically, the show's commitment to family values mirrors the sentiments many fans now feel towards the cast as a sort of television family.

While the final season of Blue Bloods will bring tears to many fans’ eyes, it's not all doom and gloom for Selleck. The actor carries with him a legacy of significant impact on television, having starred in numerous popular series throughout his career. What’s more, both Magnum P.I. and Blue Bloods have solidified Tom Selleck as a household name. Fans can look forward to his next venture, which could very likely be just as captivating!

In addition to being an enduring star with a career spanning decades in television and film, Tom Selleck is also known for his remarkable mustache, which has become a cultural icon in its own right. Interestingly, Selleck was originally offered the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark but had to decline due to his commitments to Magnum P.I. Instead, it went to Harrison Ford, leading to an iconic career-defining moment for Ford. Equally fascinating, did you know that Blue Bloods garnered a primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Cinematography? The series consistently showcased the beauty and complexity of New York City throughout its run, making it a visual feast for viewers.
