In February, CBS gave early renewals for eleven of the network’s popular series. One cult favorite missing from the list was the freshman romantic series Moonlight. The series had been performing decently on Friday nights but, because of the writers strike, there haven’t been any new episodes in months. The network is producing four new episodes for this season and will begin airing April 25th. Before giving the go-ahead for season two, CBS likely wants to see if anyone remembers the series.
Fans of the vampire series aren’t waiting to see if the cancellation axe falls before starting campaigns to save it. “Operation: Renew Moonlight” kicked off yesterday and the folks from three fan sites aren’t April Fooling around. They’ve united to encourage fans to fill out a campaign form and send it along with a clove of garlic to Nina Tassler, the president of CBS. Check out Moonlight-United.com for more information.
In another effort, fans wanting to draw attention to the series are teaming up with the Red Cross and YouChoose.net for a weeklong blood drive. The campaign plans have impressed series star Alex O’Loughlin enough to become a spokesman for the Red Cross.

The “Blood Drive to Save Moonlight Campaign” will be held from April 18th through April 27th (corresponding with the start of new episodes) in cities like Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Philadelphia. There are over 4,000 pledges to date and fans are being invited to donate their time, blood or cash to support the effort and the Red Cross. Blood drive participants will be given a special t-shirt as a thank-you. For more information, head on over to MoonlightBloodDrive.org.
CBS announces their 2008-09 schedule in May so we should know if the fans’ hard work has paid off by then. Stay tuned!

I just found out about this show 2 weeks ago. I looked up the episodes and from the first one, I was hooked. I found myself staying up into the wee hours of the morning(and with three kids, between 6months and 4 1/2 yrs that is no small feat!) simply because I was too hooked to stop watching. I began ravenously searching for information on the second season the moment I finished episode 16, and was devestated to find that the show had been canceled! Atleast it ended on a happy note, BUT still, there are so many unanswered questions,… Read more »

It’d be hard to believe that someone wouldn’t bring back moonlight aftere all the hard work the fans have been doing. I think it’d be worth it to just make a second season, at the very (VERY) Least to use that second season to end the series. But it would be just…Horrible to just end it like that with all those die-hard fans trying so hard to bring it back. There really isn’t any justice in the world if it doesn’t come back on the air with a second season. (With the same cast, i might add. if anyone let… Read more »
