Moonlight: A Glimmer of Hope in the Face of Cold Reality - Page 3

FloraSantos2 · 05-21-2008, 05:09 PM

Olá,

My name is Flora, I'm portuguese and I'm doing all I can to keep Moonlight running!

Since Moonlight appeared on TV my life is different in so many ways!!!
I've been longing for a show like this for a long time and suddendly from nowhere there's Moonlight!!!
This is a fantastic show, with an amazing and well picked cast (tones of chemistry between the Mick and Beth - the 2 main characters!) that is changing people's life.
We all need some Fantazy, we need to start dreaming again, to believe that life lasts forever when we fall in love with someone!!
There's a love story that is so much more than that; there's an amazing hero that happens to be a vampire (yet so human with high standars and he has also become a role model!!!);
we have loyal friends;
we have flashbaks from the past;
we have Hi-tech - it's indeed a 21st century production!!!

HOPE never dies no matter what!!!!

I am really beginning to hate all the network exec's. They have NO vision anymore. All they care about is creating the next superhit and nothing else matters. If it's not the next Grey's Anatomy or CSI then they cut it off at the knees before it even has a chance to grow and become substantial enough for them to shut up and take notice. As far as I'm concerned they think we are all sheep that they can tell us to watch what they want and they don't understand that when something special comes along like Moonlight, that hooks us and shows us that there is something out there that is different, and interesting and is fulfilling in a way that some of the other crap out there isn't we are willing to stand up and fight for it. Like seriously do we really need ANOTHER reality show when we can have a sexy intrigiung vampire with a complex life and a growing romance with his soul mate.

As you can tell I am still so freaking angry and it's been a week already. I think the thing that makes me the angriest is that I barely had a chance to watch it as I only just discovered it right before the writers strike. I was hooked enough to tune back in when it came back and it VERY quickly became my favorite show on tv right now. There is still sooo much story to tell and it wasn't ready to go off the air, unlike a few other shows I can think of off the top of my head. It's different when a show has run it's course and people are loosing interest but this is the complete opposite. Many fans were only just discovering it and with the stupid strike it wasn't exactly the best time to judge weather it should be on or not. They should have given it more time, especially after the fan reaction and the blood drives. But I guess this is just my opinion and not that of the people in charge.

IF Moonlight moves to the CW or any other network, I will drop CBS like a bad habit!

I'm sorry, I do take this personally. They get you hooked into a show only to pull it out from underneath you once your hooked. The Nielson system needs to go. It's an antiquated system and the networks would be far better off finding a better system to judge it's shows by. And as for it being "just business", pissing off your viewers (i.e. customers) is not good business.

t is not a glimmer of hope, it is a ray that will shine thru! FYI, Sorry to correct you, but you are wrong about CBS. It seemed from the beginning that Moonlight received any PR, very little in fact. Actually, it was the fans writing in to various media outlets that made this terrific show keep growing. Also, CBS uses the Nielson Ratings. Guess what do you know anyone who has this box in their home? I know a ton of people, and its real funny because no one has this oh so popular rating box! Who is watching with Nielson Boxes, explain that one to me. As for Jericho, never was or will be in Moonlights league. That goes for Jericho's ratings as well. It was on during the week, and I believe around 2 million if any. Moonlight, was on Friday night! Most people I know, and I am fairly young are out on Friday night. Guess what, every one was Tivoing it, or downloading it from You tube or other various outlets. The Bottom line is that Moonlight was never part of the CBS family! See

Continued from pervioust! See how many Ghostwhisper commericials you would see, then look for Moonlight commercials. You will see for yourself not many. The big picture is Moonlight has a magic chemistry, talent, and something for everyone that most shows don't have. What is truly sad is because it is unique, and deals with vampires, people see that as a bad thing, which is totally not true. I will leave you with this thought, Moonlight won the People's Choice Award, and the fans made it happen...... You know what, we can do the same thing again, only with a new Network. See you in September when Moonlight is back on!

HatairatVuttikit2 · 05-21-2008, 10:30 PM

I will watch any network that pick up Moonlight. I watch each and every episodes since they start and will keep watching if you show it. but I am sure not going to watch CBS anymore. I have not watch CBS since I heard the news about the cancellation of the Moonlight. No point for watching any shows on CBS, since they going to cancel all the good shows and keep all the bad shows. why should I waste my time watching CBS again. " Business Decision " Sure was a stupid one.

MichelleStaples2 · 05-22-2008, 09:32 AM

I think that the execs at CBS need to take a long hard look at what exactly the fans are saying because they seem to have missed the fact that Moonlight has a huge following and I like so many others had only just really started to get into the show in the last couple of months!!!! I think that it is totally ridiculous and their total disregard for the fans feelings makes me incredibly mad!!!

MickBitten · 05-22-2008, 08:12 PM

I completely and absolutely believe if we keep up the fight, some network will see the light, but people we must keep up the fight. so make sure you are emailing, snailmailing and being respectful. Yes both Mick and Beth are really good people, with innocence and right thinking, and romance. Much of which is missing from most tv shows these days....thanks for writing, keep it up!
