CBS Reveals 2008-09 Renewals (Moonlight not on the list)!

CBS has cemented its lineup for next season, renewing 11 series in a move that will bring back 10 hours of the network’s prime-time schedule and eight of the top 20 scripted series on television.

Series getting the greenlight include dramas “Cold Case,” “Criminal Minds,” “CSI,” “CSI: Miami,” “CSI: NY,” “Ghost Whisperer,” “NCIS,” “Numb3rs” and “Without a Trace.” Among sitcom fare, both “Two and a Half Men” and freshman series “The Big Bang Theory” earned new seasons.

The network previously announced that “Survivor” and “The Amazing Race” would return as well.

The pickups do leave a number of series in the dark on their fates for the 2008-09 season, including “How I Met Your Mother” and “The New Adventures of Old Christine” on the comedy side and “Moonlight” among the dramas.

A CBS representative said no decisions had been made on those shows for next fall, noting episodes for series such as “How I Met Your Mother” had received orders to complete the strike-shortened season.

So...Moonlight still has an undecided fate. I can't understand why considering the good ratings and the People's Choice Awards. I'm really starting to think that these people have serious issues. I really hope they are only waiting to see the audience of the other 4 episodes they've ordered for this season to make a decision.

This means we have to do something. Many fans I know have already started to write letters and emails to CBS, telling them how much we love ML and demanding a second season. So do whatever you can and tell your friends who watch Moonlight to help too! We can't take the risk of not having it renewed.

I didn't know if this was the right place to post this, but I needed it to draw attention so that more people can read it.

Here's a link to the Feedback section in the CBS' website. I think it's a good start if fans send a lot of messages.

I love this show. I hope that they will keep Moonlight for more episodes.

Oh no, I love this show so I hope it is renewed, it would be awful if it wasn't. They should give it a chance, because there are a lot of fans out there, so I hope it does get renewed.

Fall TV: Moonlight Has Drawn its Last Blood

It's the news no one here wanted to report, but alas, it must be shared. CBS — which earlier today renewed to Old Christine, How I Met Your Mother and The Unit — has opted not to bring back Moonlight for a second season.

Though the vampire-detective drama boasted a fantastically passionate and wonderfully generous (they held a blood drive, people!) fan base, the buzz is that the Eye simply was not happy with Moonlight's retention of its Ghost Whisperer lead-in. At last tally, Mick & Co. were letting slip some 13 percent of Melinda's audience.

For what little it is worth, I'm on a mission to secure for fans some parting words of appreciation from the cult hit's producers. (Alas, Alex himself is currently on holiday.) — MWM

Are you serious?! Gah. This sucks.

Any chance of another network picking it up? I doubt it.

Shawna · 05-13-2008, 03:20 PM

nope it wasnt strong enough for that ,and its quite expensive

gillian · 05-13-2008, 03:22 PM

It's frustrating when shows get cut short...not having a proper, definitive ending.

Shawna · 05-13-2008, 03:59 PM

Im happy all my shows made it ,so many times before they hadnt

*Zara* · 05-13-2008, 04:01 PM

CRAP!!!!!! no more fluffy vampire!! GRRRRR

gillian · 05-13-2008, 04:04 PM

What bugs me most is I'm sure the writer's didn't write it thinking 'this might be the end'...so what if they leave Beth/Mick up in the air? That'll piss me off the most.

Alexa · 05-13-2008, 04:09 PM

I am extremely upset *sits in corner sulking*

gillian · 05-13-2008, 04:10 PM

*joins you*

I wouldn't say Moonlight was "OMG the best show ever" but I think it had a good fan-base and was worth a second season.

*Zara* · 05-13-2008, 04:13 PM

im upset we wont get to know mick/beth story AHHH ah no more alex o'loughlin NO FAIR

Manon · 05-13-2008, 04:13 PM

Nooo! Jason! I Need You!

gillian · 05-13-2008, 04:14 PM

Seriously the Mick/Beth thing is what bugs me the most...if it's written like a season finale for them, with things ending up in the air because they were planning for a second season, that will majorly suck.

Plus I'll miss Jason too. He did a good job on the show.
