Tom Selleck is laying down the law.

While "Blue Bloods" is set to end after 14 years, the actor expressed his
sentiments towards the cancelation of the popular show.

"I’m kind of frustrated. During those last eight shows, I haven’t wanted
to talk about an ending for ‘Blue Bloods’ but about it still being wildly
successful," the 79-year-old told TV Insider.

He further explained the success of "Blue Bloods," and how it ranked
number nine out of 100 in the Top 100 Shows of 2023-2024. Selleck has
starred in the crime drama since 2010.

"I’m not going to turn into a bitter old guy saying, ‘Get off my lawn!’"
said Selleck.

"I don’t believe in holding grudges, but if you were to say to the
television network, ‘Here’s a show you can program in the worst time slot
you got, and it is going to guarantee you winning Friday night for the
next 15 years,’ it would be almost impossible to believe," he added.

"My frustration is the show was always taken for granted because it
performed from the get-go."

— Tom Selleck
He continued, "My frustration is the show was always taken for granted
because it performed from the get-go. So, how do I feel? It’s going to
take a long time to sort all of this out."

Selleck, who stars as Commissioner Frank Reagan on the CBS show, added it
may take time for him to process that the show is coming to an end.

"I remember after the weekend [of the final episode’s shoot], I said,
‘I’ve got to get to bed early tonight because I have to do my dialogue for
Monday.' Well, there was no Monday. It’s just going to take a while."

"Blue Bloods" is slated to air its final eight episodes in December.

The "Magnum, P.I." actor’s comments came after he confessed he may be
forced to give up his California ranch without the income he earned from
the show.

In May, he talked about his long, successful career that has spanned
across decades. In discussing it, he told "CBS Mornings," "You know,
hopefully I keep working enough to hold onto the place."

"The place" is his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California. He
purchased it in 1988 after he quit "Magnum: PI." It used to be an avocado
farm before a drought hit, but now, Selleck focuses on rebuilding the
place.

The reporter seemed shocked that Selleck could actually lose his ranch,
asking, "Seriously, that's an issue? If you stopped working?"

"That's always an issue," the actor admitted. "If I stopped working, yeah.
Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!"

His first credited roles came in the late 1960s, and since then, he has
developed a huge name for himself.

Selleck married wife Jillie Mack in 1987. He was previously married to
Jaqueline Ray. The two share a daughter named Hannah and a son named
Kevin.

No. I am a patriotic American who wants the country and its people to
thrive. Getting rid of Trump permanently
is an important step to getting there.

PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday
for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.
Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five
counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency
and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.

The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while
living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats
to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On
November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening
statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to
resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the
U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal
crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another
series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.

Each count of Threats Against the President and Successors to the
Presidency carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of
up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Each count
of Interstate Communication of Threats carries a maximum sentence of
five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of
supervised release.

A complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with
criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is
presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The United States Secret Service is conducting the investigation in this
case. The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is
handling the prosecution.
