Blue Bloods, the popular cop drama starring Tom Selleck, has experienced a decline in ratings. The latest episode was watched by 5.7 million live viewers, achieving a demo rating of 0.3, down from previous episodes this season which have mostly been watched by over six million fans each week. The current season has struggled to reach the highs of previous seasons as far back as 2020 when it consistently pulled in ratings that surpassed seven million. Despite these setbacks, CBS has confirmed a 14th season after the summer, and Blue Bloods remains one of its biggest primetime shows.

Other big hitters for CBS include SWAT and new drama Fire Country. Meanwhile, dramas are still pulling in the biggest audiences despite facing stiff competition from streaming services. Fans of Blue Bloods were delighted with the appearance of Larry Manetti, who portrayed retired cop Sam Velucci on the show.
