"Blue Bloods" has consistently aired on Friday nights at 10 p.m. for over a decade, which is considered an impressive feat given the perceived difficulty of achieving success in that time slot. Despite this, Tom Selleck was never concerned about it affecting the show's popularity and expressed confidence that viewers would tune in if the series was good. This confidence proved to be well-founded as "Blue Bloods" became a breakout success from the onset, accumulating solid ratings for over 10 years with its most recent season premiere managing over 6.4 million viewers.
