Tom Selleck Hops that CBS brings back ´Blue Bloodsˋ.

The actor portrays patriarch Frank Reagan on the CBS police drama “Blue Bloods.” In a recent interview with CBS News, Selleck was asked about whether the show was truly canceled.

“Well, that’s a good question,” Selleck responded. “I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses.”

“We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night,” Selleck added. “All the cast wants to come back. And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!”

He is not alone. A vibrant online campaign has been commenced to try and save the series about a family of New York City police officers.

Selleck sounds far from ready to retire to his California ranch, which he said he needs to keep working to afford.“You know, hopefully I keep working enough to hold onto the place,” he said.

Selleck, 79, was asked if finances were really an issue.

“If I stopped working, yeah,” he said. “Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!”
