About Moonlight:
Moonlight is a supernatural romance thriller produced by Warner Bros. Television and Silver Pictures.
It premiered on September 28, 2007, airing on Friday nights at 9:00/8:00c, on CBS. It began growing a
fan-base almost immediately. Due to the writers' strike only 16 episodes of its first season were shot and
aired, and it suffered a 3 months hiatus between the 12th and 13th episodes. Despite the latter, its average
ratings after were similar to those before this hiatus. The media reported that they, as well as the industry,
expected Moonlight to get renewed. CBS announced on 14th May 2008 that the show is in fact not part of
its fall line-up. Although the actual reasons for this are unknown to our community, we believe that they
were of a financial nature, rather than related to expectations regarding the show's performance in the
ratings, or its artistic direction. Moonlight is a captivating show with a lot of potential. The media, as
surprised as we are by its cancellation, are stating that this decision is a mistake on the part of CBS (see for
example the relevant part of the article by the TV-guide critic Matt Rousch, "Finale Fever: The Critic's
Notebook.").
