CBS’ Blue Bloods, now in its 11th season, stands out for its realism and family-centric plot. The show, centered on the Reagan family with a police background, boasts authenticity by consulting a former NYPD officer for accuracy. The family gatherings at Commissioner Frank Reagan’s home are a recurring highlight, and the exterior, located at 8070 Harbor View Terrace in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, is a real house. While the interior scenes are shot in a CBS Studio, the commitment to portraying a genuine New York setting is evident. The colonial-style home aligns with the Reagans’ on-screen residence in the same Brooklyn neighborhood, adding to the show’s realistic charm.
