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! 
moonlight is my most favorite show and now they just dumped it like yesterday’s trash.i cant believe it the network did not see the merit of this show:/they’re blind i guess.
its a great show that deserves many many episodes.
Come on! Please consider that fact that Jericho needs to continue. Why not on Showtime or HBO. PLEASE do something to keep Moonlight alive.
Why is it when we finally get a great program to enjoy,,,it is canceled….
Moonlight is a program I always watched!!
SHAME ON YOU,,CBS….
this cant be happening, the show must go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please bring the show back, nick and kate has such a chemistry that i havent seen on tv for a long time. When it does come back, Olaughlin has to play the role of Nick St Clair. He is so handsome.
FINALY A SHOW I LIKE AND THERE GOING TO TAKE IT OFF WHATS UP WITH THAT ITS WRONGE
I’m very upset that Moonlight has been cancelled, I guess you goof balls dont know it was a great show. I looked forward to watching it every Friday. I just cant figure out what you big shots are doing. Take a great show off to put something stupid on that no-one watches. Put Moonlight back on Friday nights after Ghost Whisper. If you dont want it, sell it to HBO they know a good show
We’re still here and we’re still waiting. Long live Moonlight.
Eh hello best series I have watched on tv and stayed up to watch for a long time, havent seen all the series either, anyone know where I can buy it from. Please do more of the series

Hey, guys! Moonlight is way too fun to not have on TV. It brings some class to a really different take on the standard detective show. I have enjoyed its every episode! And thanks, by the way, for *not* making everything revolve around rolling around in bed! Leaving something to the imagination is *so* much more powerful than trying to justify being just another show trying to exploit sex to keep going. Please reconsider keeping this show on — there’s not much left that merits watching, even in the name of fun.
Where is the sign-up sheet? If Jericho can be saved (which I was not into that series), then Moonlight can be saved or at least put the episodes on DVD for fans like myself can buy the series. Besides if you cancel Moonlight, where will Alex O’Loughlin go? I miss him and his sexiness already. 🙁
Love Moonlight. Wish you would show the reruns instead of a double dose of Ghost Whisper or Numbers although Numbers is up there with Moonlight. Moonlight never got a chance because of the writers strike and needs a chance to really prove itself. After all it did win a peoples choice award for best new drama. Or does that not count for anything. Let the People Speak. Networks do not always know what is best. Some of the crappiest shows are being renewed.
Moonlight is what made my Friday Nights come alive . I cannot believe that CBS would cancel this Awesome show. I will turn my tv to a different station and not watch CBS if they do not return it . I was just amazed how awesome this show was .
How many reality shows do we need .
CBS Return My Show Moonlight back . if not I will turn you off.
Give Us Back Our Show , after all we are your ratings ..without us where would you be .
