New CBS drama series Blue Bloods has completed assembling its team following the recent departure of executive producer & showrnner Ken Sanzel. Two new producers have joined the show: helmer Fred Keller (Boomtown, 24, House) as producer & director and writer Linda Gase (Standoff, The District) as consulting producer. Keller’s deal came after he directed episode 3 of the cop/family drama starring Tom Selleck. His work on the episode, which coincided with Sanzel’s departure, got solid marks from the show’s executive producers: creators Mitchell Burgess and Robin Green and Leonard Goldberg. As for the show, “it is running really smoothly and is coming in even better,” an insider said. Keller is with Kaplan Stahler and Fineman Entertainment.

Fred is a great guy and a great director – kudos!!
Yo, Fred… kudos to you and congrats… but you’re still not as tall as Cary Vastola… the School 18 crew rules, still!
Sounds like this is a better show without Sanzel. Fred’s an excellent director.
Fred will do an amazing job. He’s a top-notch director who’s a pleasure to work with.
Know Linda from the ‘District’ days. She’s a helluva writer and a really great person. Selleck and their staff are lucky to have her.
Fred is a sweetheart. This is so satisfying on so many levels.
This is so exciting, seeing the goings on behind truly mind-bending, genre-changing, envelope shredding TV like a family of police officers. Good luck to all involved.
I totally agree. Not just one police officer or a pair of partner buddies riding in a car — Adam 12 — but a whole FAMILY of police officers. Be careful out there, actors!
What a dump has been taken. Right after this hopeful article about originality in movies at Toronto comes this show as tired and dull as Sergeant O’Malley’s brogans. Another cop show? Really? A young hot head in uniform? Badges and service revolvers and the same old perps and vics.
I’m gonna puke.
Maybe they can finally get some real cameras on the show, not these half-assed Red Cameras that look real low budget. Its like putting bald tires on a Bentley.
Let’s keep the plot on track and not use hyper drama to increase the mental tension.
I watched the episode tonight, Nov. 19, in Toronto, Ontario on CTV, Channnel 9, about the rapist/slasher where Mr. Reed went after Tom Selleck’s daughter in her office building. She initially escaped into an office and clutched a fire extinguisher in her hand after escaping from Reed.
Firstly, fire extinguishers are placed in hallways, not offices. Secondly, since Tom Selleck’s daughter has an assumed set of smarts about her she wouldn’t have simply “futilely thrown the fire extinguisher at him to injure him”, instead she she would have sprayed him with the powder from the extinguisher to blind him then, WHACK, Kapow!! (courtesy of the old BATMAN show) right over the the head repeatedly to stun him (at minimum) or make him unconscious.
If you want a TV series that pretends to be real, well then at least stay with the facts. I would have preferred his daughter subduing the guy instead of the “justified” execution of the perp.
Oh, and by the way, what father is going to shoot at his daughter’s captor when the unpredictable angle of divergence of a bullet from a hand gun also makes her a potential target, despite the fact he made a perfect head shot.
Gimme a break. You just degraded yourself to every other cop drama. This was my last episode to watch.

Why don’t the producers purchase a wig for Donnie Walberg, he looks ridiculous with the comb-forward haircut; he has to cover the thinning–balding hair?
I’m really upset and concerned that you seem to have a “stable” of actors that you use interchangeably on your shows. First, you’re limiting MY experience, you’re disturbing MY concept of and the flow of the show, and you are (MOST IMPORTANT!!!!) Limiting the actors who have work. There have GOT to be more than 2 dozen qualified actors. . . . or. . . are you being CHEAP???????
