I've been watching this show since the very first episode. I can count on the fingers of one hand how many original airings I've missed. After all these years, I hope the show ends with dignity. No more killing!

Same here. I hate to see it go, but I also feel like it's time.

I concur.

BLUE has been one of my mainstays since it's debut but I have to admit that I had stopped watching it before Jimmy Smits' last two season and all but the last Rick Shroeder year. I had found the characters become boring but I really admired how the show revived itself with it's cast changes and have been a steady watcher since the Mark-Paul era!!

I'm confident that the producers will end this show with the dignity that it began with!!

Can't wait till tonight!!

I was the same exact way. I stopped watching a couple years into the Smits years through the last few episodes of the Rick Schroeder years.

My thoughts exactly. Blue has consistantly been one of the few must see shows for me every year. It's sad to see it go. A glass of milk to Sipowicz.

Damn, I was hoping when Mark-Paul left they'd bring in James Van Der Beek. He was the next in line. right?

Not the strongest episode I thought. Neither case was very interesting.

It looks like there's going to be alot of in-house fighting this season

Clark and Andy going at it becasue Clark's a drunk

Rita and the new girl got off to a bad start.

The new Lt. seems like he's going to get in to it with everyone.

The show is coming full circle. It started with John Kelly trying to steer a drunk Andy right, and now it looks like Andy will be doing the same for Junior.

Jackie Aprile Jr. as a cop!

I wonder who's stalking Andy. Maybe the cop he tangled with last season.

IMO this episode was a demonstration of why this comment is wrong for so many reasons...

Especially when the crap that is reality TV is thrown into the mix...

I love Bonnie Somerville. Yes, I do.

Interesting premiere - both cases were blah, but the inter-office dynamic just got a whole lot more interesting.

That's the blonde right? She looks familiar.

She dated Ross on Friends a couple of years ago.

She was the co-worker who tried unsuccessfully to seduce Sandy Cohen on The O.C.

And she has been in a couple of cancelled sitcoms, iirc.

THAT WAS MONA??????????????

Shit, I knew I recognized her...damn. Good job toughing it up.

Anyway, I liked it. Good to have Blue back. Could Andy's stalker be that guy with the uncle over at IAB? I can't remember his name right now. Hatcher?

That's who I thought of at first. I doubt it's him though. Won't they just turn him in for the murder of his wife?

So what happened to the first replacement for Connie? (I think she was someone from Boston Public) At the end of last season wasn't she still a part of the squad?

It was only a temporary gig.

I love when the squad gets a new boss so we get experience Andy's reactions. The tension btwn Andy and Junior should be entertaining to watch.

My guess is that the new detective likes the ladies.

I already have thoughts how the series will end, and if I am right, boo to the writers for telegraphing it so early. But here is to 19 more new episodes.
