Love Tom Selleck, but I have given up on "Bluebloods"

During the pandemic, we started watching reruns of a longtime British detective series called Midsomer Murders.
They are very well done, quite complex, and amusing to see the different everyday English culture at work.
Not to mention the occasional firearm (almost always a shotgun) situation.

Inspector Morse is another fine BBC crime drama series if you get a chance to catch it.

And I love this about Midsomer:

The problem that I have is that most US series (nowadays) always have to "one-up" themselves from the previous season. They have to make it more and more "fantastic".

I really miss Homicide: Life on the Street. I thought that was REALLY well done, and Andre Braughers character was very deep. Especially after the characters stroke. That whole cast I really liked, especially John Munch, I was happy to see him join Law and Order.

Speaking of Law and Order, I really liked Jerry Orbach - he always made the episode.

Well, darn. I do like Blue Bloods, but I hope that maybe Tom Selleck can produce a couple more Jesse Stone movies.

Death in paradise is a pleasant series that usually doesn't demand too much of the viewer but it's hard to beat old Perry Mason episodes.

Last season of "Blue Bloods" so I'll still watch it. But yes it has been going downhill and time for it to end.

Never been a fan of NYC or the NYPD, so I've always been a bit disappointed that Selleck accepted the role of portraying the most anti-2A law enforcement leader in the nation.

As an older male viewer I've grown accustomed over the years to seeing the man being the one in the movies that beats up the bad guys or takes control of the problem and saves the women and children. Now it's the 110 lbs female that carries the load and is five times smarter than her male counterpart who makes bad decisions and brings the coffee. I've yet to see one of these female leads get her hair messed up while beating the hell out of a half dozen 250 pound men in combat gear. I've pretty much lost interest in any cop or FBI shows since Charlies Angels. Did I mention I was OLD.

For years, "Bluebloods" was one of my favorite TV shows. Partly because I really have liked Tom Selleck, both as an actor and for what I know of him as a real person. I don't think I missed a single episode since the series began. But I recently changed the settings on my DVR and no longer record new episodes each Friday night. Maybe they have just run out of good ideas for a police drams every week, but the stories and the writing have become increasingly inane and blah. I'm even tired of Donnie Wahlberg's character. There are so few shows that I regularly watch, so now it is even one fewer. Is it just me?

I watched 10 minutes of the first show. Love Selleck, but it wasn't a cowboy series and I can not abide Boston or really any of the east coast north of Baltimore. So, I have not watched it.

I forced myself to watch part of 9-1-1 last night because the wife watches it. I asked her up front if it was full of queers and social engineering statements, and she said not that bad, only one homo in the cast. I was good with this plotless waste of an hour until two best buddies decided towards the end they needed to both suck man-face right there. I have no idea how the rest of the episode went. I watch a lot of older movies, documentaries and You Tube stuff streaming. Modern TV is no more then a bunch of LBTGQ+++blah, blah, BLM, mixed racing and socialism indoctrination, not to mention there was a strong "Guns 'er baad, m'Kay?" segment worked in there as well. They can jam it ALL in there in one wasted hour...
