Thanks to ilenya for the heads up.
Blue Bloods' new executive producer, Ed Zuckerman, wants to make one thing clear to viewers: He's not messing with the formula that made the sophomore CBS drama a hit in its first year.
The veteran TV writer/producer was hired in May to replace outgoing creators Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess amid reports that CBS wanted to make the show more procedural. (Zuckerman's resume supported the theory: He served long stints on JAG and Law & Order.) However, Zuckerman insists nothing will change.
"The idea is to keep the show the same balanced show between a case of the week and the Reagan family issues and family drama," Zuckerman tells TVGuide.com. "I think if anything, we might be doing a little more Reagan family stuff this year."
Read on to see what's in store for the Reagans, how the new mayor (David Ramsey) will make trouble for Frank (Tom Selleck), and what new case will run throughout the season.
TVGuide.com: What's the transition been like for you?
Ed Zuckerman: It's actually been pretty smooth. That's a good thing for me, because the last couple shows I've been on haven't lasted very long. [Zuckerman most recently served as executive producer for ABC's short-lived legal drama The Whole Truth.] There's a lot of continuity. ... I kept almost all of the old writers who are a great resource. They're good writers, and they know the characters, and they know where the men's room is. ... People really know what they're doing.
