Angel got cancelled again. Now that’s just rude.
Our office is so sad at the thoughts of no more moonlight. But lets hope the rumors are true that FOX,who will become my new favorite network, will be adding Mick to their lineup. WAY TO GO FOX shame on CBS!
If CBS does cancel Moonlight, I will not watch CBS any longer. I was a die-hard NBC fan until Moonlight. I gave CBS a chance and found some great shows, Moonlight being the best- However, if Moonlight goes- so do I.
I hope Fox picks Moonlight up- I’ll watch it wherever it goes!~
I don’t watch TV, I read, but when I found out about Moonlight coming on I couldn’t wait. I have watched and LOVED every episode. Now it is not being renewed. This is why I don’t watch TV. A show that is actually good comes on and the network doesn’t keep it. The writers strike doesn’t excuse the network for not picking the show up for another season.
I just had a feeling about Moonlight. I’m tired of liking shows only to watch them get axed. I didn’t bother to watch this one.
Who started the FOX rumor – how true is it. I have Direct TV and do not get CBS but fell in love with Moonlight online. I called probably 60 times screaming to get CBS forget it now. Really could careless about CBS. I finally got FOX though so hears hoping the rumor is VERY TRUE
Moonlight was eh, but Shark was losing steam.
Loved Moonlight, Shark was losing steam. Oh well 2 more slots open on my DVR.. I will finish out Moonlight this week. Of course if Alex and Jason show up on any new shows I will watch.
Oh so mad! Moonlight was AWESOME!
I cannot believe that CBS cancelled Moonlight! It was just taking off when the strike happened. It so deserved a better chance at finding an audience than it got. Hope it finds another home.
Wow. I am saddened to hear that CBS axed MOONLIGHT when the finale airs this this Friday night. And after Jason and Alex did the extra pimpin’ at the New York Comic Con last month…SHAME ON CBS for letting such an interesting show go!! Maybe they’ll figure it out and renew the show for a mid season replacement like they did with JERICHO, only it won’t suck, and we’ll find out what happens with the Coraline storyline! Who started this rumor that FOX may pick MOONLIGHT up? How legit is it??
What is CBS problem!! They have great shows like Jericho and Moonlight and then BAM they cancel them. Didn’t they learn their lesson! I am never watching CBS again. They have no respect for their show’s fans.I’m extremely disappointed
Moonlight snuffed out? Booooooooooooooo! Pffffffffffffft!!!!
What am I going to do without my weekly dose of sexy Mick? Just when it was starting to get interesting! I hope Alex gets another job soon because the camera loves him (and so do I!).
CBS…you su@K and appear to be missing some important brain functioning as well. Moonlight was a different take on a vampire show and my entire family enjoyed it. One more viewer you have lost to your ego!!! Good luck to the cast & crew in finding gainful employment now.
