Aykroyd said no... Apparently in poor health. Carvey has been on all season so I think he willingly stepped back a bit for this. 

Absolutely loved Garrett Morris introducing the painfully ironic Belushi video.... For all the old timers out there, they can't say they weren't recognized. Basically every one of Lorne's eras was represented.... And even a bit of the awful Doumanian era. 

I'm a particularly big fan of the 2010-ish era that had Forte, Sudekis, Hader, Samberg, Armisen, Moinehan, Kenan and Wiig... With Meyers and Mulaney writing...I'll go to bat for that as one of the best ever, if not THE best ever... And was glad to see a lot of them get work in last night.

Off topic, but I recently watched the Avro Arrow again. Brilliant performance by Aykroyd.

Okay maybe I can accept that reason for him not getting something similar to what Gilda had, at the end we see her picture held by Laraine and Jane.....I was always sorry that she never held on long enough to host while Mike Myers was in the cast, they could have recreated that ad they did together as a commercial parody (it was nice to see Linda Richman again, I didn't think he would do that again unless Paul Baldwin suddenly made a "miraculous recovery" from all those ailments he had been suffering from

and it kind of makes me sad that it's painfully clear that older cast members aren't getting any younger (same goes for Musical guests, Paul Simon didn't sound quite right, and yeah that song is kind of wrecking McCartney's voice, kind of makes me glad I got to see him in person before his voice started to gradually get worse)

McCartney is one of these artists who really should retire as he can't sing anymore. The man is a billionaire. He doesn't need the money so he dosn't have to perform. Yet he still does. He'll probably keel over dead one day onstage. His warbling voice is horrible to listen to.

That's a very conffusing article. Is it or is it not a spinoff? People won't watch because it's a police family in Boston. They'll watch because it's Danny Reagan. The most interesting character on Blue Bloods was always Jamie. It would have been nice to give him a series to watch his career development. He'still many years away from being Commissioner of the NYPD but heading in that direction. 

When the announcement came down two years ago that Blue Bloods was ending despite winning Friday nights for 14 years & still going strong, I checked out of the series. I haven't watched since Season 13 & may never watch the final season 14a & b.

well the article calls it a "universe expansion" it doesn't really make sense to me either unless it's in the same vein as the D!ck Wolf Universe

Other articles are a lot clearer than that. Apaprently, Danny leaves New York to work for the Boston PD. he takes on a female partner whose family comes from a long line of cops similar to his family. I guess that means Baez is out of the picture as his wife.

*spits out drink* NASHVILLE?! I wonder if a country singer will star in it (hell I wonder if the backstory for the fire chief will be that she/he is a former superstar it's a unique premise between Bobby's tragic backstory and Owen losing his entire unit to 9/11, you know it's a shame that Connie Briton bailed on 911 prime early otherwise Ryan Murphy would have had the chance to do the funniest thing ever)
