Ok, I'm confused here. Wasn't there a pilot show for this about 4-5 months ago ? On a different network? It definatly had a different leading lady as the 'side kick'. Older, a bit hotter.....I digress.
Obvious comparisons to Angel are gonna be discussed, so lets dive in.
Both are private detectives. Both are " good " vampires, who only kill bad guys.
In this show a blonde 'news reporter' bares a remarkable resemblance to Kate Lockley, the cop who knows Angel's real i.d.....
But other differences abound, like how Mick wasn't invited in to the reporters home. He just walked in. Staking only paralyzes vamps, it doesn't dust them. And what's w/ all the direct sunlight shots? Geeze. Doesn't seem to phase the Moonlight vamps in the least.
Anyone else, feel free to discuss.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

LOL!!! I agree, but we still need it to be a mainstream success...for the genre.
We want Joss back on tv, don't we? Might be our golden ticket!

I'm not sure a pal imitation of Captain Forehead will bring Joss back, but it's still fun to watch Moonlight, if for nothing else but to compare and contrast.
And yes, Wikipedia explains it all:

[edit] Cast & crew changes
David Greenwalt, co-creator of Angel, joined the staff in May 2007 as showrunner and it was announced that a full-length pilot would be shot as the show changed creatively.[1]
The cast underwent a major upheaval as all of the original actors save for the male lead role of Mick St. John were re-cast in June 2007. Shannon Lucio, Rade Sherbedgia and Amber Valletta were originally cast in the roles of Beth Turner, Josef Konstantin and Coraline respectively before Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring and Shannyn Sossamon replaced them as a proper pilot for television audiences was re-shot and creative control of the show changed hands. [6] [7] [8]
Greenwalt later left the show in July 2007 citing "personal, health reasons" for his departure. Chip Johannessen took over showrunner duties in August 2007. [9] [10]
Hadn't heard David Greenwalt was having health issues. Hope all is well now.

It was so so. I'll watch it again to see how it goes. Either way it was MUCH better than the crap K*Ville. Living down here is much different than the BS they try to portray on that show.
Regardless of comparisons it gets to Angel...it is almost a complete ripoff of Forever Night which came out in the early 90's
(there it was a vampire cop who had had vampire friends skirting the edge of the law and he had the hots for a human female)

I had heard it was over his health and though I've asked on other threads (I started some on the Angelus Arcanum board) if anyone knew anything, no one's answered so I don't know.
I'm personally hoping he was just disappointed w/ how awful it was and didn't know how to make it better (Joss is the professional 'script doctor' remember) and THAT'S what made him sick enough to leave.

I was thinking along the same lines as that myself. I'm not sure Mick is all that well developed as a character, and it just had to be super strange for David to relive the whole Angel show while trying NOT to relive it, if ya know what I mean.
