Tom Selleck stars as Frank Reagan, the New York Police Commissioner, who heads both the police force and the extended Reagan family in the crime drama Blue Bloods.
A source of pride — and concern — for Frank is his eldest son Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), a seasoned detective, family man, and Iraqi War vet who along with his partner Jackie Curatola (Jennifer Esposito) will exhaust all efforts and on occasion uses dubious tactics to solve cases. The sole Reagan woman in the family, Erin (Bridget Moynahan), is a N.Y. Assistant D.A. and newly single parent, who also serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father. Jamie (Will Estes) is the youngest Reagan, fresh out of Harvard Law and a newly minted cop. Len Cariou stars as Henry Reagan, Frank's unapologetically bold father, who was also once the police commissioner.
Blue Bloods: Season One is available on DVD and iTunes (click on the icons above, left for more details), and consists of 22 episodes that originally aired on CBS from September 2010 through May 2011. The second season of Blue Bloods premieres on Friday, September 23rd at 10 PM (ET/PT).
