Moonlight: Time Slot Analysis

oscardahl · 08-24-2007, 05:15 AM

Moonlight is the brand new vampire action/drama from CBS, in which a city-dwelling vampire attempts to resist his urge to kill and drink the blood of humans, and instead decides to help them. So, it's like Angel. I've seen a lot of our commenters here on BuddyTV rip the concept of Moonlight apart because of its egregious similarities to Angel. These protestations may be entirely founded, but I urge everyone to wait and judge for themselves. I have yet to see the pilot myself, but a copycat concept isn't an automatic death wish. Someone way smarter than me once said, “It's not what it's about, it's how it's about it”. If the execution of Moonlight is good, being unoriginal can easily be forgiven. Now, what about the show's time slot, Fridays at 9pm?

This show is one of the best shows by far that has caught my interest in a very long time, it's a major hit! I'm 16 years old and instead of going out and partying with my friends on friday (which happens to often) i'm glady going to stay home just to watch this show and believe me it's only been two episodes and i'm hanging off my couch already! This show is incredible!!!!!!!! thanks for listening Krystal Herrera, Tucson,AZ
