Blue Bloods Spoilers – Several Long-Running Hits Were Cancelled Last Season
In the most recent television season, several popular series, which were long-running hits including NCIS: Hawai’i, CSI Vegas, and Blue Bloods, inexplicably faced cancellation.
Although S.W.A.T. was initially set to be canceled as well, the network decided to grant it one last season before concluding the series.

Blue Bloods Spoilers – Tom Selleck Is Still Not Happy And Disagrees With The Network’s Decision
Tom Selleck is still not pleased that his beloved police procedural is coming to a close. “I’m a bit frustrated.
Instead of focusing on how Blue Bloods is wrapping up in these last eight episodes, I want to talk about its incredible success,” he expressed (through TV Insider).
Selleck highlighted that, without accounting for any football broadcasts, Blue Bloods would have ranked as the sixth most-watched program of the 2023-2024 television season.
While he claims to harbor no resentment, he finds it hard to imagine that another show could sustain the same level of success for such an extended period.
Nevertheless, S.W.A.T. benefits from having a substantial built-in fanbase right from the start; although it hasn’t reached the same level of success as Selleck’s series, it boasts a similarly passionate following.
