... will be programming Sunday's two hours on the CW "may elect to take Moonlight as one of those two hours". This is developing to be quite a behind-the-scenes drama because the order came from Warner Bros TV this afternoon to start tearing the Moonlight sets down. But now WBTV will wait until Friday. With 8 million viewers on CBS before being cancelled, Moonlight could wind up the most watched CW show.

There is Still Hope for Moonlight

... “all the money I have in my bank account” on a second season. Well, don’t drain that bank account yet, Sophia! Nikki Finke at Deadline Hollywood Daily is reporting that the series may be picked up by The CW—who recently announced that its Sunday nights would be programmed by an outside company called Media Rights Capital. And Media Right Capital seems interested enough in the show to stop the order to tear down the show’s sets. It’s not a bad idea—as Finke points out, Moonlight had twice the ratings of The CW’s “hit” Gossip Girl . And the show has a very devoted ...

... will be programming Sunday's two hours on the CW "may elect to take Moonlight as one of those two hours". This is developing to be quite a behind-the-scenes drama because the order came from Warner Bros TV this afternoon to start tearing the Moonlight sets down. But now WBTV will wait until Friday. Before it was canceled, it had more than twice the number of viewers on CBS than Gossip Girl despite all the hype. So Moonlight could wind up the most watched CW show. Stay tuned.

Hello, all! I hope you're feeling fine this morning. Last night I ate some hot wings, read a book and tried to watch a few minutes of American Idol but was too frightened by a small Hobbit child singing Dan Fogelberg 's Longer to continue.

Your breakfast headlines: - Some sad news: Artist Robert Rauschenberg has died . - Moonlight could indeed be saved ... by another network. - A Morrissey musical ? Bestill my heart! - James Garner had a minor stroke last week. - I'm not saying I liked last week's ...

Upfronts Update: "Moonlight" Could Be Un-Dead!
Published 5/14/2008 by Joel Brown at TV with MeeVee
There are reports that the canceled CBS vampire drama "Moonlight" could get picked up by Media Rights Capital, the media conglom that has bought Sunday nights from CW to air its own programming slate. Could cult fave Mick St. John (played by Alex O'Loughlin, right) bring CW its biggest audience to date - with a show canceled by another network, on a night that's been outsourced? That would be embarrassing. But otherwise, CW's programming presentation yesterday left us with only the titles of four new shows that might air on ...

... (filled with condemnations of CBS), and, now, the distant hope of a pickup by the CW (filled with discussion of how this single pickup will save the CW 4-Evah!). I eagerly await the non-pickup notice from the CW, which will complete the circle of denial.

Moonlight isn't done yet...
Published 5/14/2008 by Brett Love at TV Squad
... Moonlight is not going to just go away quietly and join that long list of one-and-done shows. People keep saying it's over, but apparently not everyone is listening. The latest rumor, from Nikki Finke's blog, has the show landing at the CW. And how would that work, considering that the CW has already made their schedule? I'm glad you asked. ...

Warner Bros trying to find new home for Moonlight

... I almost hesitate to pass this along, for fear of fostering false hope. But a Moonlight source confirms that Warner Bros. is shopping the show around to other outlets, one of which is the CW. (DeadlineHollywoodDaily says that Media Rights Capital, the firm contracted by the CW to program its Sunday-night block, is among those being wooed.) ...
