The season premiere of Blue Bloods last week had me on the edge of my seat! Watching Jamie get shot was terrible, but what was worse was watching Eddie beg him not to leave her — telling him to fight to stay with her. It is a rare sight to see Eddie so vulnerable, so seeing that was an interesting moment to watch. The new captain in their house doesn’t want Eddie and Jamie working at the same house, but Eddie is insistent that they are going to continue being in the same house. I’m not sure that Jamie is going to go with it, seeing as he wants to move on to different things in his career. One highlight of the episode was watching Danny, Jamie, and their nephew all work together on a case. It was nice to see them bonding.

On tonight’s episode, “First Blush,” Frank causes family tension when he announces he will not endorse Erin’s run for district attorney. Also, Danny and Baez investigate a bloody crime scene at a hotel, and Jamie begins a new job as a field intelligence sergeant that requires him to keep secrets from his family.

To see how his family handles Jamie’s new position, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching S.W.A.T. and Fire Country.

Blue Bloods: The Twelfth Season DVD Review

Posted on September 27, 2022 by

The Blue Bloods: The Twelfth Season DVD was released on August 30. The five-disc collection includes every action-packed episode along with exclusive bonus features from the latest season, including cast interviews, deleted scenes and more.

This is an incredibly dependable show. You know what you’re going to get—the good guys are the good guys. There’s no real conspiracy theories or wishy-washy characters who you aren’t sure if you can/should root for or not. It’s one of the best parts about the series, in my opinion. This season, Danny seeks the help of Maggie Gibson, a psychic medium, during his investigation into the tragic murder of a two-year-old boy, while Frank finds himself at odds with the mayor over how to protect the city after a recent uptick in crime. Also, Jamie and Eddie defend Officer Witten when she receives departmental and public backlash for pulling her gun on an unarmed man during an arrest at a local deli, and Erin investigates a murder case from 1993, in which the sole witness was her boss, DA Kimberly Crawford, who was 13 years old at the time of the crime.

The 5-disc DVD collection includes all 20 episodes plus deleted scenes, a gag reel (my favorite!), and three featurettes:

My Best Friend – In season 5, Steve Schirripa joined the cast as Detective Anthony Abetemarco. Since then, Anthony and Erin (Bridget Moynahan) have become unlikely best friends. In this featurette, Steve, Bridget, and the writers discuss Anthony and the special relationship between the two characters.

Directed by Bridget Moynahan – Bridget made her directorial debut this season with episode 1217, “Hidden Motives.” She talks about her decision and experience being behind the camera, and we hear from the cast and crew about her efforts.

The Story of the Reagans: Season 12 – Twelve seasons in, and we are still learning more about the Reagan family. In this featurette, the cast and producers talk about the individual journeys of the beloved family.

Don’t miss this chance to take home your copy of a fun show for the whole family! Blue Bloods Season 12 DVD

My first pick tonight is the series premiere of Lincoln Rhymes: Hunt for the Bone Collector on NBC. Aside from a clunky title (why not just leave it at Lincoln Rhymes?? But whatever…), this is another show that I’m totally, 100% on board with from the first mention of it. For one, it’s a cop show, and you know I love those. Two, it stars Russell Hornsby, whom I loved on Grimm. And three, it’s based on a great book series that I loved, by Jeffery Deaver.

Hornsby stars as titular character Lincoln Rhymes, a former NYPD detective who was injured in the line of duty – paralyzed and unable to return to work. When the killer he was chasing at the time, the Bone Collector, seems to have returned three years later, something finally, FINALLY, piques his interest enough that he decides to take the police up on their offer to let him consult…because his mind is as sharp as it ever was. Also starring is Arielle Kebbel (Midnight, Texas) as NYPD Officer Amelia Sachs, who was smart enough on the scene of a murder to catch some important evidence, and it’s through her that Lincoln will be able to view each scene and help track evidence. The show also stars Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos, Mad Dogs, Life on Mars, Law & Order, Detroit 187), Brooke Lyons (Sullivan & Son, Life Sentence), Ramses Jimenez (Vida), Roslyn Ruff (Bluegrass/Blood Red), Tate Ellington (The Brave, Quantico), Brian F. O’Byrne (Aquarius, Saints & Strangers), & Courtney Grosbeck.

I’ve seen tonight’s pilot, and I was very, very happy with it. Russell Hornsby is great, as is (new to me) Arielle Kebbel. The cast has a fun chemistry, and the story lines are exciting. If this is at all your type of show, or heck, even if it usually isn’t, give it a shot. You might be surprised!

Don’t miss tonight’s premiere on NBC at 8/7c.

Earlier today, Amazon released all eight episodes of the new original series Modern Love from writer/director/producer John Carney (Once, Sing Street). The romantic anthology series is based on a New York Times column of the same name, with each star-studded episode telling a different romantic tale about someone finding love in New York City. However, not all of these stories are the typical boy-meets-girl type of tale. The idea of “love” varies from tale to tale. The first season’s all-star cast includes Anne Hathaway, Tina Fey, Dev Patel, John Slattery, Brandon Victor Dixon, Catherine Keener, Julia Garner, Andy García, Cristin Milioti, Olivia Cooke, Andrew Scott, Shea Whigham, Gary Carr, Sofia Boutella, and John Gallagher Jr.

I checked out the first two episodes and was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly well-done this series is. The first episode finds a single young woman (Cristin Milioti, How I Met Your Mother) dating under the watchful eye of her doorman, who is like a father figure to her. While the second episode finds a reporter (Catherine Keener) and a successful dating site owner (Dev Patel) each reflecting on second chances with their lost loves, but their stories take very different paths. Each episode feels fresh and different but with the same general tone that provides a nice blend of drama, romance, and humor. While each episode is only 30 minutes long, they are so densely packed and detailed that afterwards you feel like you’ve just watched a feature film. The characters are well-defined and developed, and each episode tells a complete story. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve seen of the show so far and look forward to checking out the remaining six episodes, especially given the amazing cast list!

Check it out now on Amazon!

I’ll also be watching/recording Looking for Alaska, Living with Yourself, American Housewife, Fresh Off the Boat, The Blacklist, and Van Helsing.

Hawaii Five-0 is back tonight, and I’m so anxious to see what happened after last season’s finale, when Steve was supposedly shot. Most of the finale was all about hunting down Aaron Wright, which involved him hacking the emergency alert system to cause panic that there was an incoming missile in order for him to get away. But they figured out where he was headed – a private airfield – and though they didn’t get there in time to stop him, Jerry brilliantly hacked the plane’s systems and caused it to start losing fuel. Rather than crash and burn, Wright turned the plane around and landed…right into police custody. That leads us back to the gunshot at Five-0 headquarters.

Omar Hassan’s wife wanted to come by with her young son to make “amends” for her husband’s reign of terror and end the cycle of violence. The visit seemed to go well, but on the way out, she shoved her kid off to the side, pulled out a white plastic gun, and fired it in Steve’s direction off-camera.

So was Steve shot? Did someone else jump in front of the bullet? From the description of tonight’s episode, it sure seems like someone maybe died, but I haven’t heard of anyone leaving…so who knows! Also, Katrina Law joins the cast as Quinn Liu.

On tonight’s episode, “Ua ’eha ka ’ili i ka maka o ka ihe (Hawaiian for ‘The skin has been hurt by the point of the spear’),” a new ally helps McGarrett and Five-0 when mob bosses on the island are being targeted by an assassin. Also, Five-0 says goodbye to one of their own. Rob Morrow guest stars.

Don’t miss it tonight on CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching The Great British Baking Show, American Housewife, & Blue Bloods.
