blue bloods, tv guide

 this evening i went to the hy-vee in eagan for groceries. i also picked up the special magazine from tv guide, the special farewell edition for the tv show 'blue bloods'. it has 96 pages, plenty of photos. i not only like the character played by tom selleck, but also donnie wahlberg. and i liked mention of the roles that both actors did before this show, since tom is known for 'magnum pi' and donnie being in the band known as new kids on the block. i also liked the two pages about favorite guest stars, although some would be considered 'recurring roles' such as stacy keach playing the archbishop. in terms of the lesser-known regulars in the cast, i like anthony, the investigator that works for erin in the DA's office, and baez, danny's partner. i am not sure how i feel about baker, who is frank's aide. i still recall one line she had about 'being the closest lady to frank, not related by blood or marriage'. what was that supposed to mean? besides her not being at the reagan family dinners? also one time when she tried to advise frank, then we see frank offering her a chance to be PC for the day, and she said 'not on your life'. i know i haven't watched the show for its entire run, as i liked performing most nights until the pandemic hit. i think it was only when i started staying home more during covid that i would watch regularly, seeing it when i got home from grocery shopping. that's the other thing- high school football is on fridays. the games i have seen were all pre-covid, it was one of many cost-saving measures that i adopted. and if i would be performing on fridays, it was usually karaoke, and i would show up whenever, sometimes after the late news. either way, this is a good show so i am thankful i found it. as a history major of course i like seeing the photo of theodore roosevelt in the background at the office, since teddy was a PC before entering politics. at work i didn't mind that the overnights volume was low, just fourteen. the mail dude spoke of missing out on a sale on suits at macy's, hopeful it is there again as a black friday sale. during my walks i found 1 dollar 27 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when we see leonard and penny showing off with their dates in the hall, with who could kiss the longest, leonard dating lesley. and the dudes go to the renaissance fair, sheldon as spock from 'star trek'. it was followed by the one where the friends get ahold of amy's phone and choose men for her on a dating app. this i didn't enjoy seeing. i liked the other story more, where sheldon and leonard buy helium on the black market and sheldon calls the can 'uncle harvey', giving it a hat as well.
