If the TV industry gave out an award for the most uncool night of programming, CBS’s Friday lineup would win it hands down. MacGyver and Hawaii Five-O are reboots of old series, an anathema to TV critics who believe the industry is in a golden age of creativity. They lead into Blue Bloods, a combination cop show and family drama, featuring the 72-year-old Tom Selleck, the quintessential 1980s TV star. All three shows rank among the top 20 most-watched broadcast shows in primetime.
