Moonlight: The Vampire Series Could Return on the CW
Though CBS has cancelled the fan favorite show, it seems Moonlight may not be dead yet. Kinda appropriate for a vampire show.
Deadline Hollywood Daily is reporting that Moonlight may be moving to the CW — but not as part of the regular schedule that was reported earlier today.
The CW has had a very difficult time attracting viewers to any of their Sunday night programming. As a result, they recently made the decision to sell the entire 7-10pm timeblock — not just the commercial space. They found a buyer in Media Rights Capital (MRC), an indie company. Under the agreement, MRC will develop programming and sell advertising time to go with it.
According to Finke, there’s a chance that MRC may pick up Moonlight to fill some of that airtime. But, if they want it, they’ll have to work fast.
When the cancellation news came down, the Warner Bros. crew was told to start tearing down the Moonlight sets almost immediately. When this new deal became a possibility, they were told to hold off — until Friday.
Would Moonlight be a good fit? Obviously being on the CW on Sunday nights would be an uphill battle ratings-wise. But, if the vampire show could bring most of its CBS viewers to the night, it would be outperforming just about everything else on the network. We’ll keep you posted. Stay tuned!

i really hope it will be returning to cw. and loughlin comes with it. he is one of the sexyist man i ever seen on this tv. the characters mick and beth had such chemistry together it was almost real. who cares if he’s a vampire. i’m like beth ,i would have let him drink my blood too! he can do whatever he wants to me!! i have got my fingers crossed!! both of them!

I am sooooooooo mad they did this. Why? I loved this show. I couldn’t wait for it to come on & I never missed an episode! Why is it they keep the crappy stuff & cancel the good stuff? I loved the story line & the concept & O’Loughlin was “dead” sexy (pardon the pun!) I sure hope CW picks it up I will be a loyal watcher if they did! CBS made a big mistake by dropping this show, I don’t even watch CBS anymore I refuse to do so because of this they made me that angry! I also know of several other people that have quit watching any CBS programming for the same reason, bad move CBS really bad move!!!

I really loved the show, maybe the time slot could’ve been better chosen. We are in dire need of good programs to watch and this one fit the bill. Please reconsider!

Bring Moonlight Back
Moonlight was the only series that i would watch and now all of the episodes are cancelled. I have never missed and episode and now we need it back.
November 11th, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Yep, just bring us our Moonlight back!! It’s such a great show especially compared to all that rubbish out there. Never missed an episode!!

Very good show but again another one they just cancled. I haven’t watched Tv for a while just waited till a good season came out on dvd without an open ending. Moonlight had got me watching again…. they could cancle all these reality shows like big brother … and so on.

One word: Political!
I dont see any reason for them to cancel the show… Believe me, Moolight made me watch CBS..
Aside from the budget, Im sure there’s some kind of a conspiracy thing…
Another one word: KARMA!
October 27th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Are you guys NUTSSSSSSSSS !!!!
This was one of the best shows out there……..not like everything else around.
I was wondering why i’ve not seen it in the new lineup anywhere.
PLEASE bring it back !!!!
October 3rd, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Why is it: that everytime a television network finally puts on a series that I actually enjoy, it ends up being the one that gets dropped. What irks me the most is: there are so many others that I would rather have seen cancelled.
September 26th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
this was a good show…………..
all shows need more than one season………bring it back
September 24th, 2008 at 4:55 am
I am a 48 year old mother of two — Moonlight was the one show I never missed! I would watch it in whatever time slot they put it in. Moonlight was a wonderful show — a true triumph of good vs evil. I hope another network picks it up — as for CBS it is good bye for me, they have lost this viewer.
September 18th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
I love moonlight sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooMUCH!!!!!!!!!! i love mick and beth, the show rocks! i’v been hooked since the first episode! i want a second season so bad! please bring back Moonlight!!!
September 15th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
I have previously written a request to put Moonlight back on! I love the show and it gave me reason to watch TV. I am 52 and Moonlight was well worth the watch and to stay home and awake, there must be some idiot who decided to cancel the show, hope he/she/they get fired! I won’t watch anything on that chanel again, stupid, stupid people!!!
September 5th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
I’ve talked to so many friends that loved “Moonlight”including myself. I never missed an episode…what did CBS base their decision on to cancel it???If it returns on CW I’ll be there watching.
August 15th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Please continue to broadcast the series its wonderful to have a series such as Moonlight with Heart, and this one has that it would be a real shame if Moonlight does not return.
July 25th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I hope someone puts this show back on the air there is so few good shows anymore would be a shame not to see this one!!!!
July 15th, 2008 at 10:23 am
Please bring this show back on the air. I loved it. I tried never to miss a show on Friday nights. Even if I was out everyone new I had to get home in time to see Moonlight. I hope some station will have enough since to pick it up even if CBS dosen’t.
June 28th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
I sure hope that the CW takes Moonlight. it’s a great show and the characters are good too! The show still has lots of potential for new plot developments and new characters…werewolves maybe?? Got to have some good villans! Anyway…KEEP MOONLIGHT ALIVE!!
June 27th, 2008 at 7:13 am
WE WANT MOONLIGHT!!!
(CASE CLOSE)

If we could have a network that has brains
they would pick up all the great shows that idiot networks dump
and they would have the best ratings
so if any of you tv bosses out there with guts here are a few to start with
New Amsterdam , Moonlight, Firefly , Jericho,
butt then nobody has the stones do they
June 22nd, 2008 at 4:04 pm
I really hope that someone picks up this great show. I don’t really watch too much TV but this is one show I wouldn’t miss, every Friday night I was set to watch Moonlight. I really can’t believe that CBS would cancel such a great show. They had 8 Million viewers and that would have grown to much more. Some of the other shows like Bones, NCIS have around the 10 million mark and have been on TV alot longer than Moonlight. Given a chance I think Moonlight could have had that and more. Please somebody save this great show.

I have read several of the comments written here, and I tottaly agree with them. CBS doesn’t know a good show from a hole in their butts. They cancel the good and keep the bad. The only thing on CBS I watch is GHOST WHISPER and NUMBERS. I’m waiting for those to be canceled to, but if they were half as smart as a rock they would keep MOONLIGHT. However,I don’t think anyone overthere is that smart.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Moonlight - the best show on tv at the moment (no more reality - PLEASE) or stupid crime shows or medical drama’s. When you work all week, you want to watch something thats going take you to another place - I’m going to buy the DVD and stop watching rubbish tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 6th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Here we go again a great show cancelled what is up with CBS . I am amazed at the shows they put on. Noticed that they started a new show last night called SwingTown what a piece of trash. Just what our young people need to watch and think hey it is ok to switch partners. Everyone I know loves the characters and story lines on Moonlight. Hey and what about Mick what a sexy Vamp. Hope another network picks it up. CBS is so good at cancelling good shows another one in point Jericho. Hope they wake up sometimes!!!!

POOR SHOWS DON’T WIN AWARDS - LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE CBS
SOMEWHERE SOMEONE WITH JUST A SMIDGEN OF SENSE WILL TAKE
THIS WONDERFUL SHOW ‘MOONLIGHT’ ON WE ALL WANT TO SEE IT
MATURE AND EVOLVE FURTHER
COME ON ALL OF YOU BIG SHOTS
KEEP ‘MOONLIGHT’ ON AIR

This show won a People’s Choice award!!! I absolutely love this show. I just don’t understand what is wrong with these television executives. Instead of spending the money on a show that is obviously a fan favorite, they will turn around and spend it on some cheaper shows that most likely won’t make it through the first few episodes. If CBS doesn’t reconsider, I do hope that the CW picks Moonlight up for season two.
May 16th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
CBS was stupid to cancel Moonlight but I hope it gets picked up by the CW network or another. I’ll definitely be watching whereever it ends up. I think Moonlight would fit in better with the CW network though, just because CW use to be WB (plus UPN) and they’re familiar with shows that deal with the supernatural elements like Angel, Buffy, Charmed and now Supernatural (I guess Smallville falls into this genre too although it’s really based more off of the Superman comics). But SciFi is another good network to house Moonlight.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
I absolutely love this show! And I can not believe CBS canceled it. This is the best thing that has happened to that network in a long time! But truth be told. I think it’s more suitable for CW. So I really hope they pick it up.
May 15th, 2008 at 11:47 am
I mean, how bout CBS has no dick. Whoever’s behind the call to cancel Moonlight is a dickhead. Im not sorry for what I’ve just said. Supernatural dramas has always been my thing. To make me entered a door ,and then slammed back at my face, is totally not funny. Im beginning to dig this new obsession and voila, CBS just had to throw **** at my face, our faces. How bout we boycott and not watch anything on CBS till they understand what that show means to us.
Obviously, we the fans sense something good is brewing up in this drama. The forbidden couple (ala Angel & Buffy), the ego-eccentric but oh-so-sexy Josef, the new twist in the vampire so-called chronicle, sleeping in a fridge?… Its strange, yes but its fresh. Don’t they see that?
Just hope someone do pick up where CBS had last dropped their pile of dung and kick CBS back in the butt where it hurts. This is like my cure for missing Buffy. I still couldnt get over the fact Buffy had ended. And this? Enough already people.
I’m P.I.S.S.E.D !!!!
May 15th, 2008 at 4:35 am
Here’s hoping this works out! I finally started getting into the the show, only to find out that it was getting canceled!(Always seems to happen to me) Moonlight’s the first decent vampire show to be produced since Angel and Buffy! Don’t let it die!
May 14th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Please keep Moonlight on the air!!! It’s so amazing and Alex O’ Loughlin is a great actor and extremely good looking. If the Cw takes the show they’ll bring an all new fan, because as they say, where Moonlight and Mick go, the 8 million or so fans will follow.
Vampire Solidarity RAH!!! RAH!!! RAH!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Definetly would follow it where ever Moonlight lands! One of the best shows on tv right now. CBS is stupid!!!
May 14th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Please keep it!! Please CW!!! I agree fans would follow.
May 14th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Please keep the show going. It is a show that has something for everyone,,,romance, intrique, suspense and comedy just to name a few. Both genders follow the show. I hope that MRC will pick it up. What a great day Sunday as well for it to air. You wouldn’t leave all the loyal MIck Beth fans hanging would you?
It’s a fantastic new twist on the all to many drab TV series out today!
May 14th, 2008 at 7:03 am
This is one of the BEST tv shows out there! Please save Moonlight and keep the show running. I don’t care what network picks it up, just as long as one other network picks it up. The fans of Moonlight will follow the show where ever it goes so give us our show back! Moonlight is one of the only tv shows that I watch and I want it arouind for a long time. The show has so much potential if it is only given a chance so PLEASE give Moonlight a chance!
May 14th, 2008 at 3:56 am
I really hope The CW network (or MRC I guess) picks up Moonlight for their Sunday night line up…. it would be a perfect fit and I think almost all of Moonlight’s loyal fanbase would follow the show across to The CW or any other network that picked it up!
May 13th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Please keep this show going. I just recently discovered it, and it’s amazing. It’s sophisticated and has a lot of possibilities. Please keep this spectacular show!
