The text should be very long. Here the given reviews: ["This has been appointment television for me for the length of the series, that is now moving into late middle age, and the actors have matured in their roles, and in their lives, most of them now in their forties, fifties, and Tom in his late seventies, Henry five years older. The series is very well written, to support traditional values, and the characters held to strict standards of behavior that are, I fear, a reflection of a vanishing world. And therein for many viewers lies the appeal, the hope that moral standards still exist, even though we witness their erosion on a daily basis. The Peter Pan effect, the hope that right will always win out, and when it doesn't, there is always an injury to all of us. The family dinner is also a reminder of a bygone era, and for those of us who remember it, a fond memory. On Blue Bloods, I feel I have a seat at the table. A pity the series can't last forever, but then neither can we.", 'LOOKING BACK JUST a few years, to 1999 to be exact, we had a similarly situated Police Drama. Also telecast on the CBS Television Network, TURKS starred Mr. William Devane as Sergeant Joe Turk, a still serving uniformed supervisor of patrol division personnel. Sgt. Turk has an old sod, Irish wife and three sons; two of which are "on the Job", the other not. The setting was our Chicago, rather than the Big Apple. THE SERIES OPTED for a sort of continuity of story-line with the trials and tribulations of the various characters is followed; with a semi-serialized format. That is, each episode picks up where the last one ended; but not in any sort of "Cliff Hanger" and each can stand on its own. The scenario is readily picked up. (Of course it\'s better to have seen every episode, naturally!) UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER A MERE thirteen (13) installments, the suits at the network gave it the ax. We thought this to be a shame, as the plot line was just getting up a good head of steam; both in the Police Proceedural as well as in the personal lives of the various protagonists.* NOW, AS TO our subject today, BLUE BLOODS, we can find many similarities; as well as many more differences. SET IN MODERN day New York City, the series boasts of an extended family of Cops in every episode. In addition to the father\'s (Tom Sellick) holding the position of NYPD Commissioner, with two sons serving as active cops,one Detective(Wahlberg)the other in uniform (); the family circle always includes the good Comish\'s father. BEING CHARACTERIZED AS being quite elderly (as would only be the case), the Grandfather has very little to say. When he does, he puts us in the mind of either being based on Grandpa Simpson (Homer\'s Dad) or our current Vice President, the Honorable Joe Biden. WITH EVERY EPISODE, there seems to be an extended family supper, in which the various problems of the subplots are discussed. Commentery or suggestions are given from the representatives of three generations of Reagans; including the eternally blissful Grandfather. EACH EPISODE OF the series stands on its own; with no or little reference to what went before. They do seem to have done their homework, as we have seen no evidence of any inconsistencies or contradictions in the various story lines. For this, we give our kudos to the continuity department. WE HAVE ENJOIYED the episodes that we have seen; even though we have come to the show only recently. The ensemble cast does a yeoman\'s job in working together. Tom Sellick, in particular, has turned in some fine work. Much like his character, Mr. Sellick is a former action type guy; who now finds himself just a trifle long in the tooth to be doing the things he used to do. Befittingly, he sort of underplays his characterization of the Commidssioner Reagan. IN DOING SO,he has shown a depth of his acting talent that we probably haven\'t seen before. NOTE: * Perhaps we are a little biased about TURKS, for a friend of ours, former Chicago Policeman turned Actor, Mike Bacarella, was a regular cast member Dennis the bartender.'] Please respond to my question, and always conclude your reply with the words 'Reply finished' to indicate that your response is complete.
