Blue Bloods is THE best crime/drama show that has ever been on tv, hands down. That said, Matlock has some rather large shoes to fill but will not ever compare to the high caliber that Blue Bloods was. But, as long as the network suits can keep their rediculously inflated salaries and vacation homes with their budget cuts, thats more important than viewer satisfaction, even though the loyalty of said viewers is what pays those salaries, therefore allowing for those luxurious lifestyles, apparently just doesnt matter. Way to go CBS you gave up a JEWEL for something that will probably be less than mediocre. I will not be watching.
