Aired for the past 13 years with over 275 episodes, Blue Bloods’ popularity has gone beyond traditional fan following and many followers identify themselves as part of ‘Blue Blood family.’ For instance, Natalie Judge’s comment on X, formerly Twitter, clearly demonstrates this.

I love Blue Bloods. It depicts what life was like years ago in our country. It depicts family values, respect for the police, and individuals with a moral compass. It also highlights social issues that we confront on a daily basis. All this is done without profanity, sexual scenes, and over the top gore and violence. The show was a pleasant change from the viewing current selections. Please keep renew the show!!
