25. Blue Bloods

When it returns: Blue Bloods returns on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019 at 10/9c.

Season it’s on: Moving onto its 10th season when it premieres, this show proves that the Friday night death slot doesn’t exit. It’s one of CBS’ strongest shows, and the strongest show of the night.

Why watch it: If the fact that you’ve watched the previous nine seasons isn’t enough, Blue Bloods being on its 10th season and being one of CBS’ biggest performers should be a reason to tune in for the series.

When it comes to police dramas, Blue Bloods knows how to keep things fresh. There’s more to just solving crimes. This series has a family element that just can’t be beaten.
