Just heard CBS has officially cancelled Moonlight! Does anyone care but me? At first I thought they were ripping off Angel but it's quite a bit different and I really liked that show. I only watch a few shows.

My friend feels your pain. She was a big moonlight fan. Sorry to hear. I liked the Dresden files and Sci Fi knocked those out. Sucks to be us, I guess.

Sad but not unexpected. They never quite figured out what kind of show they were making and it suffered because of that. In the end I mostly appreciated the fact that vampires were the least implausible plot element in the show. Well that and Sophia Myles.

Nope, you're not alone. I'm pretty bummed.

It was a good show all in all and I'll miss it.
New Amsterdam was canceled too.

! I liked it, too. Why all the shows I like get canceled? Dresden, firefly, moonlight... Is southpark next?

How will I get my Jason Dohring fix now? I am still coping with veronica mars withdrawal. Why do all the good ones die young?

Not a real big fan of the show, but definitely sorry for Jason Dohring. He was the brightest spot of Moonlight, IMO. And extremely bummed about New Amsterdam. They really could have done a lot with that series.

I had never seen the show, but I'm surprised by it's cancellation, since the ratings were decent. Apparently, it came down to a money dispute. CBS was fronting most of the budget, even though WB owned the rights. CBS asked WB to pay for more of the production budget, since they'd be the ones to reap the benefits of futre DVD sales and such, but WB said they'd only do so if CBS paid a higher licensing fee for the show, and CBS refused.

The show was offered to the CW network, but they passed. Which strikes me as a particularly bone-headed move, since Moonlight already gets twice the viewers that CW's highest rated show gets.
