CBS has an FBI on Tuesday, so why not Blue Blood Friday?
Annoyingly, the franchise took up an entire night of TV – FBIS on CBS Tuesday, a Chicago on NBC.
Still, if any show is worth a night, it is Blue Blood and any swelling. After insisting on canceling the original content on its popularity, the least CBS can do is give us three derivatives.
Blue Blood should introduce spin-offs into the lineup
Until Blue Blood began its last season, CBS didn’t even consider spinoffs.
Honestly, I don’t know that the cancellation of Blue Blood will always make sense to me. However, if the derivative waits on the wings, it will mitigate the blow.
(They should also sell the last eight episodes as shortened Blue Blood Season 15 instead of calling them Blue Blood Season 14, as the writers strike, the leftovers only hit the fall schedule, but that’s the point.)
This may not be possible due to the writer’s strike, but if CBS starts airing blue blood derivatives next to the last eight episodes of the original show, it will make the loss of blue blood easier.
We were going to have half a season to learn about the new series, and then the derivative might slide into its place once the Blue Blood is finished.
This would have given fans a seamless transition, and this definitely doesn’t involve time that absolutely does not attract blue blood fanatics.
Sadly, CBS didn’t do that.
Instead, they took the blue blood from the schedule and stuffed it in their place, as if the reason Blue Blood was so popular was because it was the police procedure, so any other crime drama would do.
CBS was unable to go back in time to resolve this serious mistake. But now that there is a derivative on the table, it can start the process of solving this problem by ordering two more derivatives.
There is a bunch of blue blood derived, it’s like it’s still blue blood back
The reason Blue Blood works well is not because it is a police drama.
It’s the family aspect – a thing modern audience longs for this internet TV doesn’t seem to want to give them anymore.
CBS thinks the show is too expensive, which is why it cancels Blue Blood.
At this point, we can’t solve this problem, but if we had a night full of spin-offs, it might help us feel like we’re still in our living room every Friday night.
So far, CBS has ordered only one blue blood derivative: Boston Blue.
I’m excited, but caring because this new show hopes to pull Danny out of the Reagan family and place him in Boston, where he will interact with other people’s famous police families.
But imagine if there were two other spin-offs on the same night as Boston Blue.
For example, we can:
- Danny in Boston Blue
- Jamie and Eddie
- Frank is a young father, the policeman and his father are the prequels of the police commissioner (my favorite blue blood derivative idea).
All of these shows a night will keep us catching up with most of the things we do after the finale (and dig deep into Frank’s past, which actually feels like blue blood.)
The biggest problem with the idea of Blue Blood Friday: Too many possibilities
In order to do this, some other shows have to be moved elsewhere or scrapped.
I’m small enough to accept it. After all, CBS sees Blue Blood as something that needs to drive Blue Blood into the trash.
Furthermore, this is not the biggest problem with this idea. The truth is, there are so many blue blood-derived possibilities that one night is not enough.
We need to perform the case she tried from Erin’s point of view, the case about Joe Hill, and even a show about Henry’s second act – he found the purpose and stayed in touch with the police to become an older person in New York City who he wanted to write as weak and weak.
Forgot Friday’s blue blood. We needed a blue blood channel, nothing was shown except for the spin-offs throughout the week, and the original was replayed over the weekend.
On you, Blue Blood Fanatic.
