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!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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. 🙂
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.
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… Read more »
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!
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!!!
Definetly would follow it where ever Moonlight lands! One of the best shows on tv right now. CBS is stupid!!!
Please keep it!! Please CW!!! I agree fans would follow.
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!
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!
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!
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!
