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.
More news on this dire and developing situation is being posted in the Renewal section of our forum.

Moonlight To Finish Season Without Show-Runner
February/22/2008 03:43 Filed in: Off-Site
The Hollywood Reporter has
indicated that Moonlight will finish it's 4
episode run without a show-runner:
"Executive producer Joel Silver and the writing team of CBS' "Moonlight" collectively will shepherd the four additional episodes of the freshman drama as showrunner/executive producer Chip Johannessen has exited.
The vampire drama is not expected to name a new showrunner for the four-episode order but will do so if the series is picked up for a second season."

Moonlight's Show-Runner Let Go?
February/21/2008 14:48 Filed in: Off-Site
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting on
his blog that Chip Johanessen, Moonlight's
show-runner, has been fired. The entry reads:
"More backstage drama at Moonlight — and the timing couldn't be worse. I'm told that Chip Johannessen has been let go as show-runner just as the freshman drama is fighting for a second season. The search is on for a replacement.
This is the second major regime change for the cult fave; over the summer Johannessen replaced David Greenwalt, who vacated his post for health reasons.
The behind-the-scenes upheaval may explain why Moonlight was conspicuously absent from CBS' litany of renewals last week. It's unclear what impact this will have on the four post-strike episodes that the network just commissioned, which are slated to begin airing on April 11. But rest assured, when I know you'll know."

Broadcast: CBS To Put "Moonlight" Repeats On Hiatus
January/24/2008 12:48 Filed in: Broadcast
The February 8th, 2008 repeat broadcast of
"Moonlight" may be the last we see of the series for,
at least, 7 to 8 weeks. On February 15th, CBS has
scheduled a Celine Dion concert special during the
9:00PM ET slot. Beginning February 22nd CBS will
juggle it's Friday night line-up to make room for a 6
week hourlong run of "The Price Is Right" at 8:00PM
ET. This will temporarily push "Ghost Whisperer" to
the 9:00PM ET slot and "Moonlight" off the schedule.
CBS has officially stated that "Moonlight" will return to the schedule later this season.
