It Looks Like It’s Over For Moonlight

Since I have been on “holidays” for the past week I thought I would catch up and see where one of my most favorite shows is in getting renewed. While I was gone I wrote a letter to TNT to see if I could convince them to accepting to pickup Moonlight. I offered them free advertising too in hopes they would take the series just for me. But they didn’t it looks like. Here is the latest news:

Don’t shoot the messenger here, but Moonlight is over, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The sets of the paranormal romance series have now been dismantled in preparation for CBS’ upcoming drama The Mentalist, which stars Simon Baker as a detective who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation.

The Mentalist?? WHAT?? What ever happened to lets make Moonlight the best it can be…dumbasses! But the report goes on to say…

As a show that has rapidly attracted a solid fan base, every option to keep Moonlight was reportedly explored. Sources say that while there was significant interest from various parties, at the end of the day, it’s all about the numbers and the math did not compute. Moonlight did fairly well in its timeslot but didn’t do so well as compared to Ghost Whisperer, which aired on Friday nights at 8pm before Moonlight, or as well as Numb3rs, which aired at 10pm after it.

Moonlight ratings might have been suitable for another network, though there is still no guarantee the same number of viewers would have followed the show to a new home.

They go to say that this probably won’t make fans stop trying to revive the show. They finally got something right. I think they have a solid fan base now. I have never seen other fans support me in this cause to getting the word out that this series needs to be saved. So for everyone … RAH! RAH! RAH!

P.S. I finally watched the finale of Moonlight. I cried like a baby at the end. It is not fair to put Mick and Beth together and then end it. This is not satisfactory!
