Some of the most standout moments from “Blue Bloods” come when everyone is gathered to enjoy a meal together. When looking at the best dinner scenes from each season, one of the best is clearly from Season 10’s “Family Secrets” when Joe Hill (Will Hochman) arrives at dinner. Hill’s the son of Joe Reagan, who died prior to the events of the show. Hill is welcomed into the Reagan household with love and respect, and that’s in part thanks to viewers understanding how significant it is for someone to be invited to join a Reagan dinner.

Tom Selleck mentioned how the Sunday dinners have become fans’ favorite part of “Blue Bloods,” and he’s not wrong in that regard. Looking through online forums, there are many viewers who look forward to the dinners more than anything else on the show. For example, Redditor u/texastentialist explained, “I love the family dinner scenes. I’m a fan of different points of view being shared respectfully (mostly) , occasionally busting chops, and in the end they all are part of a family.” That viewpoint was seconded by u/JerseyJedi, who wrote, “The best scene of every episode, no doubt!”

Television is filled with cop shows, from “Chicago P.D.” to “The Rookie.” “Blue Bloods” honing in on one family, as well as the fact they’re all close to one another, helps differentiate it from others within the genre.
