    Well cbs thanks for running such an interesting, fresh show(MOONLIGHT), leading us to believe it would be back in the fall and then throwing it out the window. So heads up would have been nice. Maybe myself and 6 of my female coworkers might not have gotten so very attached to our Friday night ritual of watching it together. Well now maybe we can find someother network like ABC or NBC or CW or even USA(thats a good one). Maybe we will play cards, but one thing we will not do is EVER watch a CBS show again. Thanks for nothing.

    Well CBS you did it once again. Get a great series and pull the plug. I can only hope that another network with a brain chooses to pick up MOONLIGHT. As for our family, no more CBS PERIOD!

    I cannot understand the reasoning behind CBS cancelling MOONLIGHT? It had very good ratings for a Friday night program. This was even despite of the crazy writers strike(which should have been avoided by the networks). CBS has a record of doing this to the quality shows. NO MORE REALITY TV< NO MORE SITCOMS! BRING BACK MOONLIGHT!

    Its all about advertising. CBS, NBC, and ABC could care less about what viewers want. It s about all those shitty Chinese made products that everyone is hawking and all the boomer’s are buying. Best way to get their attention? Stop buying the products of the advertisers. Ego inflated ad executives and overpaid CEO’s don’t care about the public. Crappy reality (forget the fact that there is nothing real about them) sell junk and the uneducated viewers buy it. Want quality? Read a book. The networks chased most of the quality writers away and are trying to get rid of the rest by canceling entertaining and thought provoking shows. Even the news stinks. Cable channels at least still have some hope for decent programming. Maybe its time the big three closed their doors for good. All the public needs to do is find a way to give them a push.

    AS MILLIONS OF OTHER VIEWERS HAVE STATED, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL MOONLIGHT!!! IT HAS AN UNBELIEVABLY HUGE AUDIENCE – MANY OF WHICH ARE WOMEN OF ALL AGES. DID YOU NOT SEE THE APPEAL OF ALEX “ONE OF THE SEXIEST MEN ON TV”. WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU DECIDED TO CANCEL THIS POPULAR SHOW? CBS – YOU SCREWED UP. ALEX O’LOUGHLIN’S 6-YEAR CONTRACT WITH YOU MEANT NOTHING I GUESS. HE GAVE UP HIS ROLE ON “THE SHIELD” TO STAR IN MOONLIGHT ONLY TO DROP IT WITHOUT REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT YOU WERE GIVING UP. WHY NOT LOOK AT ALL THE POSSIBILITIES BEFORE DUMPING IT. THERE ARE OTHER TIME SLOTS YOU COULD HAVE TRIED IT IN. NOT THAT IT REALLY NEEDED IT BECAUSE THE 10,000,000 PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR IT AS BEST NEW DRAMA WERE WATCHING EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT! I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WILL DUMP CBS PERIOD. IF YOU THINK WE’RE KIDDING, YOU’RE DEAD WRONG.

    I am so angry & disappointed about Moonlight being cancelled – it’s the best show on TV. CBS is saying they are trying to attract more female viewers by filling the Friday @ 9pm slot with a show called Ex List, about a woman who has a year to find her future husband, blah, blah?! Oh, yeah – I am going to watch that instead of Alex O’Loughlin as Mick St. John, and the best show on TV ever – NO!!!! I am thru with CBS forever – there are millions of fans still trying to get another network to pick up Moonlight, so don’t give up yet, guys. Write to USA, SCI-FI, FX, any network that might consider. I have been told those are the 3 most likely candidates (USA & Sci-Fi owned by same corp, & pres. is Bonnie Hammer. But I got a list of networks & addresses from my cable co & sent out 11 letters. Email, call, whatever you can do! Don’t let this marvelous show die! Go to HeyNielsen.com & give your opinions & go to YouChoose.net – don’t give up! Keep bugging CBS too! (Attn: Nina Tassler)

    Moonlight was awesome, the only truly romantic show on air (what else would you expect from Ron Koslow, creator?). Bring back Moonlight!
    What I still don’t understand is where they are getting the ratings FROM? Are they taking into account Tivo, cable DVRs, Direct TV DVRs, Itunes and of course internet? Or are these based only on the obsolete and old-fashioned Nielsons that have nothing to do with reality? Most people in the 16-24 coveted demographic either watch exclusively online on their laptops, or they watch in groups of people in college rooms and family basements. I think ratings are way off-base. And I hear the rumor that not enough people are watching the CW? Every teenage and college student I know watches some show on the CW. The CW is the youth channel – they all watch it. Its ridiculous to think otherwise. CBS is known as the crime drama channel. I like crime dramas. It should pick up Women’s Murder club. And what about Numb3rs? Is it coming back?

    CBS- No Jericho or Moonlight? No reason to watch CBS anymore. Are you nuts? Why do you cancel your best shows?

    How dare CBS throw out Shark and Moonlight. They were both really good shows to watch.

    does CBS cancell ALL of there shows in the first season? i wouldnt watch any of them, because they will cancell it no matter how good it is. this is so bad, that i dont want to beg CBS to put it back on their channel. Give it to somebody else who might keep it for more than a season. so with moonlight, the ex list, and probably all the other shows you cancelled, you probably have 20 million people lighting fires outside your office. nice job.
