Monique, what country are you in? What are the ratings like there? (Do you have a link to show how successful it’s been over there?)

Moonlight was aired for the first time in my country (the Netherlands) about 9 weeks ago and it was a HUGE HUGE HUGE succes all over! Trust me, I am not the only big time fan overhere! Every Sunday at 9.30 I am NOT available for anybody (except in case the house is on fire;-)) because I have to get my MickBeth shot

I was so very disappointed when I found out CBS wouldn’t be getting us a second season. I simply cannot believe this kind of stupidity! I do hope so very very much another company will pick up where this stupid CBS left of. If I could tune in on CBS I never ever would do it again! Let’s hope we get another season (or three or four….) of Moonlight.

Every Friday night I am sad all over again that it is gone. I still can’t believe that a show that wins the People’s Choice Award got cancelled. I keep hoping they will realize what a stupid decision it was to cancel it and bring it back.

It seem over the years almost every show I have truly loved has been canceled. Moonlight just happens to be one of them. I love vampire stuff (and I am a christian) and this one was good with another spin on the all the myths that are out there. I think that was one of the things that made it good too. Bring it back because with the writer’s strike it just messed everything up. Give it another chance.

Moonlight was loved by fans who are true romantics at heart. We want romance, but the vampire thing thrown in just amped it up a gazillion. Mick was a superhero and Beth, although gutsy and able to survive on her own most of the time, managed to get herself into some predicaments that only her vampire hero could get her out of. Then the romance sparked. This is the essence of Moonlight. CBS, WB and Joel Silver are all fools for letting this one go.

I didn’t watch Moonlight much ( the episodes I did see I liked ) but I am a fan of vampire themed shows ( LOVED Buffy and Angel ) and I have no idea why CBS canceled a show that was bringing in an average of over 7 million viewers on a friday night. Today networks are so numbers hungry that they forget to acknowledge a good fan base instead they took a chance on a new show and it has already done bad in it’s season premier. This already happened at FOX with Tru Calling. ‘Tru’ was an amazing show that had a crap time-slot and they canceled it mid season 2 and the show that replaced it was canceled after 13 episodes. Nothing worthwhile is going to come easy but asking for more then 7 million viewers after 9pm on a friday is pushing it. That’s my 2 cents anyway…here’s hoping something sticks…I LOVE GHOST WHISPERER so that better not get canceled anytime soon…wink!

I agree with you 100%. And I just can't believe 1 woman was given that much power. She is litterly clueless – how could she screw up something so simple – RENEW MOONLIGHT – it's a no-brainer! No matter what “reason” was given as to why it was cancelled, it is without merit, period. But as the eternal optimist – I'M NOT GIVING UP ON OUR MOONLIGHT. IT WILL BE BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON!

Come on people! Get MOONLIGHT back on the air where it belongs!!!! Ratings, schmatings. It's simple – keep popular shows people LOVE to watch like MOONLIGHT ON THE AIR and keep the yucky, boring, redundant shows (ie. medical, sitcoms ugh!) OFF the air. WHO DOESN'T WANT SOPHIA MYLES, ALEX O'LOUGHLIN, JASON DOHRING AND SHANNYN SOSSAMON ON TELEVISION EVERY WEEK!!!

I agree Bob. It's ridiculous for Nina Tassler to say the show was canceled due to ratings. There are countless factors as to why Moonlight's ratings were just okay, but still respectable. The writer's strike made things wierd, plus there was NO promotion for Moonlight, and it was put in what's known in the industry as the “Death Slot”. I think Moonlight more than held its own when everything but the kitchen sink was thrown at it.

It makes zero sense to cancel it, plus, this is the Year of the Vampire. Twilight, Dark Shadows remake, True Blood, among others are going to be HUGE. In the words of Matt Roush from TV Guide, “CBS blew it.”

They should bring back Moonlight! In today's busy world very few TV Shows ” touch people” and connect in the way this program has done It appealed to people of all ages. The storyline was great. It was a love story, and a drama with humor. It became an intimate part of my family. A program that we scheduled plans around. We had to be home on Friday night by 9:00 PM to watch. The cast was perfect in their roles. The show offered something unique that you actually became a part of. We purchased every episode from Amazon.com and will purchase the DVD when available. We would follow Moonlight to any station and bring our purchasing power with us. This was a very special show!! The only one I have ever written about, called about, or purchased so that we could watch it anytime

Just so you all know, Moonlight was nominated and WON “Best New Drama” from People's Choice Awards! It was voted on by, none other than us, the viewers! Since CBS is stupid enough to axe a show that was voted #1 by viewers, guess they should understand why all their ratings go down the toilet on Friday nights as well as every other night of the week! CBS, take note……you keep toying with viewers and dropping great shows, you lose those viewers AND their friends! Cable is looking better than ever!

I am so sad that Moonlight has been taking off the air. I am the fan of Moonlight from Malaysia and i love Vampire because of Moonlight. I think CBS is making a very big mistake by taking off this series which has so many fans. They will regret for their action one day.

Moonlight is a great show with depth!! It has a very good insight on vampires and it seems more believable the way it is written. The characters are terrific and I really hope it gets picked up again by a smarter network since CBS is not so smart. Reality shows have no value at all! It is nice to escape once in a while to a fantasy world that is entertaining, that is what Moonlight was!!!!!!!

Moonlight is the best show that I have ever seen, and CBS made a huge mistake not renewing. I will never watch CBS again, and I will be a loyal, devoted fan & viewer of the new network that WILL pick it up. I just want it to happen, uh – yesterday. Put a fabulous show on, get the viewers addicted and let them fall in love with it, then riiiip it off the air. Oh, that is the way to keep viewers. Moonlight will be back.

MOONLIGHT REALLY NEEDS SOME CHANNEL TO PLEASE GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE TO BE SEEN BY MORE PEOPLE!
THIS SHOW HAS REALLY GOTTEN NONE OF THE CREDIT IT SO DESERVED!
THE WRITERS STRIKE MESSED SO MUCH TV UP FOR SO MANY SHOWS!
JUST LIKE THE WRITERS HAD INTENTED TO DO!
SEASON 2 MOONLIGHT WAS GONNA REALLY BE THE SEASON FOR THIS SHOW TO SPREAD ITS WINGS AND TAKE A HUGE BITE OUT OF THE RATINGS!
