Does anyone else watch the CBS Show, Blue Bloods.... [View all]

[WCGreen]

It's a well crafted and well performed police drama centered on a family of New York Irish folks who can trace their police roots back centuries.

It's very traditional, very conservative.

I wouldn't expect anything else from Tom Selleck.

I like the man, he's a good, solid actor and he is true to his convictions.

I don't like his politics but he never questions the beliefs of others at least publically that I have found.

The show is one of my guilty pleasures.

This Friday past, the show was about Selleck, who is the NY Police commissioner, being asked to add his support for the canonization of a priest who worked to get draft dodgers out of the country during the Vietnam War. This priest also aided a man who bombed a Armed Service recruiting storefront.

He questioned the morality of the priest to the point where he decided to investigate on his own.

There was also another story thread that involved faith.

It was a nice exploration of people's faith without being in your face about it.

It is also about family, the traditions within the family.

There was no violence just two crimes committed off camera.

If you get a chance to watch his show, I would recommend it.

I have a link here to the Episode I mentioned.
