The Impossible Path to Success

ANNOUNCING NEW BLOG

Readers of The Word and the Real World are invited to check out my new blog, based on the excellent TV drama, Blue Bloods, which ended it's fourteen-year run on CBS in December of 2024. The show was canceled not because of declining viewership. It is as popular as ever. The official word is that payroll and filming in New York City got too expensive. But there also are theories that the Hollywood suits running Paramount Studios and CBS had become impatient continuing this decidedly un-woke production. 

Be that as it may . . . I am inspired by the way fans of Star Trek kept the franchise alive, during the silent years between the final TV episode and the first motion picture, roughly, 1969-1979. One approach taken by fans, was to keep writing stories: novels, comic books, independent fan film productions. 

I decided to try my hand at writing screenplays for short, 10-12 minute episodes of Blue Bloods, taking up where the show left off. 

I hope to build a creative team of volunteers that can keep it going, and build it. 

Meanwhile, come see the first installment, via this link. 

I hope you enjoy it!
