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! 
U have to be kidding me that you took off this show!!! Now that the book Twilight came out and the movie more preteens and teens are into Vampire Romance and of the mystery between the main characters. The series Moonlight was about the same and alot of my friends watched it and what you take it off! Please I’m begging please put Moonlight back on air!
Bring back the show or at least make a movie to have a happy closure. I think the show will bring more viewers this season because of Twilight the movie. Twilight fans are hungry for shows like this. Lots of people like me on the web are desperately searching for something like Twilight. I loved the first series, please bring a second series with more intense love scenes. Don’t leave us hanging give us closure……………

i can’t believe u guys r not bringing a second season seriously after how season 1 ended. please bring it back it was the highlight of my friday evenings
Moonlight was a fresh idea. I’m so sick of all the TV reality shows, after all thats all we have in real life. We watch tv on occasion to escape reality for a short time. We have all other types of shows on tv and when this one came along, I was so excited because it was different. I was very disappointed when the show was cancelled. I thought it had lots of potential. I would very much like to see it come back
please bring back moonlight, i miss this show. was one of my favorites.
I agree. Discontinue some of the reality and game shows and bring Moonlight back. It was an exceptional show and we looked forward to it each week over anything else we watched and we are 69 & 70 years old. Thank you.
Come on people, bring Moonlight back! it was the only show I enjoyed anyymore. why not drop a few of the reality tv crappy shows and bring back the good shows!
To all moonlight fans that woulld like a second season and more go to this page http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Moonlight and sign the petition. At least to show you are not happy about the show being canceled
I am so tired of POLICE shows. NCIS, CSI (3 OF THEM–ENOUGH ALREADY), LAW AND ORDER, LAW AND ORDER SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT, LOST, BOSTON LEGAL, AND I’M SURE I HAVE FORGOTTEN MANY OF THEM.
IF YOU WOULD BRING BACK MOONLIGHT IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. IT MADE MY WEEK. MEDIUM WAS CANCELED. WOMEN’S MURDER CLUB, CANCELED. OCTOBER ROAD, CANCELED–CAN’T YOU AT LEAST TELL US IF NICK IS THE FATHER?
COMON PEOPLE, LISTEN TO US. WE LIKE WHAT WE LIKE. YOU CAN’T SHOVE THINGS DOWN OUR THROAT. WE WATCH HBO ONLY NOW. TOO BAD FOR YOU.
Please bring this show back on air!!
Moonlight is great show. Why did you cancel it? It was my friday night. Loved it! So sick of reality TV. Let’s get some good old fashioned programming that makes you forget about real life for an hour. Put it back on!! Please!
I love the show moonlight. Mick St. John is one hot vampire. How dare they cancel this show when it one the peoples choice award. That should tell you people at cbs that the fans like the show and have spoken. We want moonlight back, so get up off of your rich buts and give us what we want. Give us back moonlight.
THIS WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT WAS CANCELLED, NOW I TURN IT TO ANOTHER STATION AFTER GHOST WHISPERER.
