Moonlight MRC Talks Dead? ... or not?
May/14/2008 16:48 Filed in: Renewal
Nikki at deadlinehollywooddaily.com is
reporting that, today, Media Rights Capitol / CW
officially passed on Moonlight. While the show
was offered to a number of different networks in
the hopes of a pick-up, MRC was seen as the best
hope. It is requested that you please stop
calling MRC at this point.
"UPDATE: I hear MRC now has been asked to consider Moonlight for mid-season. This is such a shot in the dark it's barely worth posting. But I'm posting nonetheless. I've also been told that CBS continues to hold an option on the star of the show, Alex O"Loughlin, and that he's in demand for other projects."
While I believe hope is a good thing, I do not believe false hope is healthy. If you wish to continue campaigning, your best bet is to keep contacting WB TV. They have the power to find other buyers, in the event someone is willing.
Tell Warner Brothers you love Moonlight and will follow it anywhere!

Alex O' Loughlin Comments On Moonlight Cancelation
May/14/2008 16:02 Filed in: Cast
Alex O'Loughlin has posted a comment on his MySpace
blog regarding the show's cancelation:
"Well, where to start....?
The decision to cancel MOONLIGHT... my MOONLIGHT... our MOONLIGHT, is
as much of a shock and gut wrenching surprise to me as it is to all of
you.
Really, I don't even know where to begin.
I sit here at my computer, still slack jawed even 24 hours after
receiving the news that my services are no longer required on the set
of this show. A show we have all come to know and love deeply, and it
hurts more than I can possibly tell you.
Since i got THE CALL I have not read anything online or otherwise, I
have not been following blogs or forums, I have not been reading the
trades or opinion polls and I have not been calling around to get
information.
"Why are you not fighting for your show?!" I hear you all scream!!
The truth is my friends, I never STOPPED fighting for it.
From the very beginning when I was told time and again that i wasn't
the man for the job, having to prove myself to everyone with tests and
screen tests, to a complete re-casting of the show, through 5
different show runners at the helm with 5 different artistic visions,
to a Writer's strike that took 5 episodes away from us...... oh how
the list goes on.
But through all of that, i am proud to say that not once did I bow
down and allow someone else to come in and do with MOONLIGHT as they
please. And along the way, if I needed a break and wanted to do that,
I don't think I could have anyway because, well, I suppose it's just
not in my nature! ;)
This is all still so fresh for me and I am going to need a little time
to process this whole thing before i can digest what has actually
happened, let alone move on.
Honestly. I really feel lost for words.
I will say however, that never, never in my life have I experienced
first hand a level of support from a group of people like that of you
all who are reading this now, and who 'loved this show to life'
alongside me. It has been overwhelming to say the least.
I am grateful to you all.
I am extremely proud to be associated with this piece of television.
And I am so, so sorry to my very core, to lose MOONLIGHT.
All my love,
Alex O'Loughlin x"

The highlights:
"It had a very passionate fanbase, and that's a good thing," Tassler said. "We just had to make a lot of tough calls."
"We had to make a very tough decision," she adds. "I loved that vampire -- what can I tell ya?"
Also, when questioned about the likelihood of Moonlight finding a home on the CW nework, she stated "Probably not, no."

Moonlight Being Looked At By CW?
May/13/2008 21:01 Filed in: Renewal
Sources are reporting that WB Television had ordered
the Moonlight sets to be struck today, after
cancelation, but the order was abruptly delayed until
Friday. It appears there is a slim chance the show
might end up on the CW network in a Sunday slot as
programmed by Media Rights Capital.

Moonlight Canceled By CBS
May/13/2008 14:01 Filed in: Renewal
Sources today are saying that the producers of
Moonlight have received word CBS will not be picking
up the show for any additional episodes next season.
Word is that CBS was not happy with the show's
post-strike ratings performance or creative
direction. There is a slim chance that the show could
be picked up by another network but this happens only
rarely.

Moonlight NOT on CBS Fall Schedule?
May/12/2008 19:10 Filed in: Renewal
I've been receiving a number of emails since last
night telling me that Moonlight's chances for a Fall
renewal have grown suddenly rather dim over the
weekend. Sources say that Moonlight will most likely
not appear on the official CBS Fall schedule and that
the best hope for a pick-up comes via a 13-episode
mid-season order. Along with previous news that Chip
Johannessen had exited the scene, now comes news
that, co-creator, Ron Koslow has been asked to leave
and that Jill Blotevogel, writer, has been canned as
of last week.
The main issue surrounding it's possible cancelation seems to stem from low ratings performance of the previous 3 episodes and conflicts over money/budget between CBS and WB.
