CBS kills vampire show Moonlight

[wraithfodder]

Yup, CBS drove a stake through the heart of the Friday night vampir show MOONLIGHT. See, see. I said just last week, hey, this looks interesting. Kiss of death, I swear! Sorry...

So it is all your fault!! J/K!! I am so sad it is gone. I love the show. **sniff sniff**

But let me guess - Ghost Whisperer will still be around.

I know I pick on that show a lot but I honestly thought Moonlight a lot better than GW. GW is just... I don't know... too generic. I mean, it's okay and on occasion intriguing (while at other times makes me cringe) but of all the shows to be cancelled I thought that one a prime target.

But no. CBS, instead, feels the need to cancel shows such as Moonlight and (temporarily, thank goodness) Jericho. Both of which have a practical cult following. I just don't get networks sometimes.

I feel bad for all the fans I know it started to get a following though to be honest besides being cute the actor didn't have the vampire 'look' to me or I would have watched it but I'm sad for the people who enjoyed it.

Did they say why? Were the ratings atleast decent?

I just got hooked on 'Moonlight' darnit. I really liked the dialogue and it had some interesting ideas/takes on the vampire myth.

I also noticed ABC axed 'Women's Murder Club.' Too bad - I was hoping against hope that JF would be able to come back as the FBI agent.

If you ask me, there's way too many reality TV shows out there....

I'm so peeved, it looked like it was a shoe-in. Yes, it won it's time slot, it was holding its own, and had developed quite a following and still that wasn't good enough. :(

First New Amsterdam, which, that one though I did think it was interesting, I can see it not making it. The story could've been a lot better, it was rushed, etc. But Moonlight quickly found its legs and really deserved a second season. I'm so irritated!

NOOOOO! Curses! I was so afraid this would happen! I really loved this show, too.

Alas, my poor little vampire show. Gone!

I'm not sure what they were thinking because its pretty obvious this show has a strong and growing fanbase. My 81 year old grandmother is a huge fan. She's actually going to stop her years-old practice of just leaving CBS on to protest the cancelation.

I thought it was Fox but apparently its spreading, this need to have instant sucess.

I just caught up too. I am so *mad*. Never again. Not going to get attached to any shows anymore.

*sigh* Not that I thought it was a quality show or anything, but how am I going to get my Jason Dohring fix now?

Very slight chance that the show might be moving to the CW -

CRAP! :(

I always thought Moonlight is the light version of ANGEL, but I'm getting used to that show now... nothing else to see on Friday 9PM, beside jason Dohring is wonderful as Joseph *sigh*

And I hate Ghost Whisperer with a vengeance... argh! really can't stand JLH, and it replaced a cute show like Joan of Arcadia which, IMO is way better.

First Journey Man, then LIFE, then New Amsterdam, WMC, now Monnlight... it really is useless to like new shows... better stick with CSIs.... :(

A real shame.

Thanks for the link, tringasolitaria. Fingers crossed.

There's a real protest going on right now so it could be back. Many people are outraged.

I finally found something that me and my mom agree to watch (she doesn't like sci-fi that much) and now they had to go and cancel it! What losers! Let's just drive a stake through THEIR hearts!

Oh no!!!!! Just as I was enjoying this series! *chucks tantrum*
