As a long-time devotee of Tom Selleck‘s illustrious career, it is heartrending to witness the melancholy that enshrouds him following the apparent demise of Blue Bloods. Having followed his journey from Magnum P.I. to Frank Reagan, I can attest to the profound impact his portrayals have had on millions of viewers worldwide.


Looking dejected, Tom Selleck made a rare public appearance following his firm stance against Blue Bloods producers, which seems to have escalated into a conflict.

The seasoned actor, aged 79, publicly expressed his disapproval towards CBS’s choice to cancel the successful police drama series where he portrayed NYC Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, following the announcement that the show would conclude this autumn.

After 14 years of traveling between the East Coast for work on the show, he is now said to have returned permanently to his California residence with his wife Jillie Mack, who is 66 years old.

Last week, the actor stepped out into view, having exited from a friend’s residence in the San Fernando Valley.

DailyMail.com exclusively released images that depicted Tom Selleck appearing rosier than normal and carrying a bit more weight, while showcasing his characteristic salt-and-pepper facial hair in its natural state.

He was dressed down in a blue button-down shirt, black tee, shorts and sneakers,  and was carrying a folder full of papers.   

The excursion takes place as the TV personality finds it challenging to accept CBS’s move to cancel their long-standing show.

Selleck openly expressed his displeasure about the termination of Blue Bloods, and following the announcement last year that production would cease, he expressed hope that they might reconsider their decision.

He expressed his ‘frustration’ with the show’s cancelation once again more in an interview with TV Insider on Thursday. 

I’ve been feeling a bit fed up lately. Instead of discussing the finale for Blue Bloods, I find myself talking more about its ongoing success over the past eight episodes, as mentioned by Selleck.

As a lifestyle connoisseur looking back on the Top 100 Shows of 2023-2024, I must say that our program found itself nestled comfortably in the top 10. When you exclude the three football shows from consideration, we climbed up to an impressive sixth place!

‘My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it performed from the get-go.’  

Selleck continued: ‘I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, “Get off my lawn!” 

I’m not one for harboring grudges, but if you were to tell the television network something like, “Here’s a show you can air during your least popular time slot, and it will make you undisputed leaders on Friday nights for the next 15 years,” it would be incredibly hard to accept as plausible.

‘So how do I feel? It’s going to take a long time to sort all of this out.’

Despite the fact that the show’s filming has finished, viewers can look forward to seeing the actor during the finale of its last season, as the last episodes begin airing on October 18.

Previously recognized for his roles in “Magnum PI” and a guest appearance on “Friends,” Selleck gained numerous followers through his portrayal of Frank Reagan, a fictitious NYPD commissioner in the series “Blue Bloods.

Since September 2010, he’s been appearing alongside Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, and Will Estes in a series. When the show was canceled, he expressed his belief that fans would respond with strong disapproval to this decision.

‘CBS will find an awful lot of people aren’t ready to say goodbye to it,’ he said at the time.

As an ardent enthusiast, I can’t help but be captivated by the compelling series, Blue Bloods. This narrative unfolds around the enigmatic Reagan family, where I find myself particularly drawn to the character of Frank Reagan, who serves as both the patriarch and the New York Police Department’s Commissioner.

The well-known TV show, initially aired in September 2010 on CBS, enjoyed a long and successful span of 14 seasons.

Blue Bloods became the second-longest running scripted show on CBS behind NCIS (with 21 seasons).
