Blue Blood’s final ever episode is fast approaching, after more than a decade on air.

With the end in sight, the long-running drama’s showrunner, Kevin Wade, shared his insights into how he and his colleagues went about wrapping up the show.

Wade added that he did his homework ahead of putting together the finale, taking cues from some classic shows in TV history.

“I rewatched the series finales of great shows, going back to M*A*S*H and Cheers and Mary Tyler Moore, and certainly The Sopranos..,” he told the outlet.

“I watched a lot of them for what they might have in common, and what they basically had in common, if I boiled it down, is they did a great show, and then in the last few minutes they did a little pivot towards, ‘This is also the last show.’”
