Haven't seen the Shield.

I am sick of cop/detective shows. There have been so many in my lifetime that they all bore me to tears now. For some reason my wife and I like Blue Bloods. It seems like it was written for Republicans because the story revolves around the Reagan family who is a Conservative family in NYC. The elder grandfather is the ex Police Commisioner of NYC. His Son is played by Tom Selleck and is the acting Police Commisioner of NYC. His daughter is the deputy District Attourney of NYC. His son is a Police detective played by Donnie Whalburgh. His other son is a regular beat cop. Foe some reason we both like this show. Donnie Whalburgh has really impressed me as an actor. He was made for this role. The family is tight and they all get together every Sunday for dinner around a big table. I used to watch the Andy Griffith Show as a kid and in a way it reminds me of that because they are always doing the right thing. In other shows its about who is getting money under the table and who is screwing who over, but in this show the family is always doing what is right even if it means they get hurt in the process. They say grace at dinner and talk about god a lot. like I said, it seems like it was made for Republicans, but I still like it anyway.

One thing I did notice. They are always drinking hard liquor in that family. Not that that is a bad thing. I just noticed every scene where they are not working they are drinking some hard liquor.

You've never hung out with Lutherans, have you?

Believe it or not I was Baptized Lutheran as a baby and my relatives up North are all Lutheran or LDS. Come to think of it there is a history of heavy drinking in my family in ND, so the Lutherans must be drinkers.

Tom Select as Police Commish seems to meet with the leaders of the Catholic Church a lot, so I assumed he was Catholic on the show.

I'm from ND and most of my family lives there. Heavy drinking isn't just a Lutheran thing there. Nearly everyone drinks in ND, since there isn't much else to do for entertainment. HS sports, hunting, drinking, church functions...

Come to think of it, you would think there would be a huge problem with violent crime if you equate everyone having firearms and heavy drinking in ND, but it may have the lowest per capita rate of violent crime in the country.

This discussion has deviated from the TV show subject, sorry about that.

Maybe, but accidental shootings during hunting is higher than it should be.

And yes, we are certainly off topic!

Is Cheney doing a lot of hunting still?
