Man From MARS!! 25-Year-Old Dohring Replaces 60-Year-Old Serbedzija As Supporting Vampire On CBS’ MOONLIGHT!!

I wish this show would stop giving me reasons to watch. by DanielKurland	Jun 28th, 2007 01:30:08 AM
Dohring is immensely talented, and Greenwalt knows what he is doing, but why is he working on a show that is almost an exact copy of Angel, but much more two-dimensional. I'll give it a shot, but I don't see how it could be nearly as good as Angel was.
Well, I guess VM really is dead now... by Zardoz	Jun 28th, 2007 01:37:22 AM
looks like all of the cast has moved on, so I guess I should too... (sniff!)
I'll catch the pilot but my hopes aren't too high on it by Boondock Devil	Jun 28th, 2007 01:49:38 AM
It is a good casting decision there. Dohring is a pretty damn good actor but I'm really hoping that Greenwalt will put some kind of unique twist to the whole "vampire cop" thing to really make this good. I suppose we'll see.
I blame Xenu... by Paul T. Ryan	Jun 28th, 2007 02:10:19 AM
I'm sure Rade Sherbedgia does too...
Greenwalt, Dohring, Hot Chicks, Vampires...SOLD! by Darth Fabulous	Jun 28th, 2007 02:14:46 AM
Yeah, that was an easy call...hopefully these changes jell.
Dohring in a series worthy of his talent? by AnnoyYou	Jun 28th, 2007 02:42:14 AM
I hope to God this doesn't turn out to be the cheesy "Angel" rip-off I thought it would be, because I've been waiting for Dohring to get a role on a decent series (one which might actually propel him into his own series or a viable film career). And Myles' addition is just icing on the cake - I've loved her since she played Madame de Pompadour on last year's "Doctor Who." Actually, these recast roles sound like the meddling of the network, but who cares? Both are improvements, and now I'll actually watch this show come autumn.
So a major event occurs on Rescue Me but no talkback? by The Selecter	Jun 28th, 2007 03:35:33 AM
Did FX's check to AICN bounce this week or what? Instead we get casting news for a show that will probably last 13 weeks.
RIP CHIEF RILEY by MaxCalifornia.	Jun 28th, 2007 04:17:52 AM
That good enough for ya, Selector? :) That was some pretty shocking shit, I have to say. I thought the Chief was just going to go ape and smash his place up with his golf clubs or something, but holy shit that was quite a shocker. Anyway, on topic, weirdly enough, I saw an ad on CBS tonight for this show that actually featured ol' Rade. Y'know, I will probably check this out, Alex O'Loughlin was pretty cool on The Shield. I mean if you're on The Shield, you got good taste.

Massive changes not alwas a bad thing... by Yeti	Jun 28th, 2007 06:44:00 AM
Case in point Brothers & Sisters.
Shannon Lucio is hotter than Sophia Myles... by Abin Sur	Jun 28th, 2007 06:45:01 AM
But neither of them are Charisma Carpenter...yowww!
CBS has a vampire show?? by theonecalledshoe	Jun 28th, 2007 06:55:26 AM
When did THIS happen?
damn. by mollyunravel	Jun 28th, 2007 07:41:56 AM
i was all prepared to NOT watch this show cause it seems like something i would enjoy which is a sure sign that it will be cancelled after just a few weeks. but now they have to go and cast jason dohring. i can't resist! i have to watch now!
big shocker by BizarroJerry	Jun 28th, 2007 07:48:17 AM
God forbid someone over 30 stars in a TV show.
KRISTEN BELL ON HEROES! MAKE IT SO! by Pennsy	Jun 28th, 2007 08:44:09 AM
Can you imagine her on the show as Sylar's girlfriend? The havoc they could wreak; get as far away from the Superfund-esque toxic waste dump that IS the See-Double-Ewe.
CBS DOES have a vampire show... by jwardlow	Jun 28th, 2007 09:14:22 AM
Their last one was Forever Knight, which was quite good for a show with such an (obviously) low budget. Hopefully this one can do at least as well. OTOH -- does every "good" vampire have to be a cop/detective?
Zachary Quinto Is Gay by The Alienist	Jun 28th, 2007 09:24:19 AM
I don't even think he's in the closet (he was out when he was on the Tori Spelling show). I'm sure Kristen is the type of girl who keeps her gay friends close.
I have a soft spot for FOREVER KNIGHT by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jun 28th, 2007 10:16:05 AM
Like a 80's Dr Who with vampires. Last saw whatsisname in last season 24 as Nathonson.
It's always such a dissapointment by cammywobs	Jun 28th, 2007 11:25:27 AM
when you first find out an actor you really like is a scientologist.
damn! They've just given me a reason to watch by oisin5199	Jun 28th, 2007 12:05:40 PM
I think Dohring's a very interesting actor and I'm curious to see what he'll do in such a different role. BTW, major changes to a show is not always a bad omen. Look at Brothers and Sisters - major changes behind the scenes and with actors, people were spelling out its doom before it even aired, and it turned out to be ABC's biggest new hit last season. Not that I'm holding my breath for this one. And, um, damn - can Kristen Bell be any hotter in those pictures?
So they're redoing the show with vampires? by Pops Freshemeyer	Jun 28th, 2007 01:37:44 PM
Weird. I wonder what Bruce Willis thinks of this.
This will never make it on network TV by GreatCzarsGhost	Jun 28th, 2007 01:51:46 PM
Maybe syndication or cable but a Vampire show on CBS is a sure thing loser. It may not even get 6 episodes. Old people watch network TV and your mom or grandma ain't going to watch vampires when they can always tune into reruns of Touched By An Angle or Murder She Wrote.
Can the US make a geek show without a Brit these days? by Mickey The Idiot	Jun 28th, 2007 01:54:34 PM
Bamber and Callis in BSG, McDowell and Eccleston in Heroes, Laurie in House, McKidd in Journeyman, Stevenson in Babylon Fields (well, maybe) and now you tap up Doctor Who's missus.
crap by Mr_X	Jun 28th, 2007 02:20:53 PM
i like Jason Dohring but i hate the idea that its an angel rip off. dammit!
You can sex it up all you want....... by Jimmy Jazz	Jun 28th, 2007 04:01:07 PM
but you aren't going to come close to the coolness that was Angel.
Didn't they already show some commercials? by emptystan	Jun 29th, 2007 08:00:08 AM
Weren't there already some commercials for this? The early ones where they pimp it for the fall before there's even really a show? I could have sworn I saw some and they looked like they were shot by someone who graduated from direction soap operas to tv pilots ripped off of other shows.
Another castmember bites the dust by TVguy4566	Jun 29th, 2007 02:09:47 PM
Amber Valletta is replaced by Shannyn Sossamon. So only Alex O'Loughlin remains from the original cast. The deathwatch for him begins. It is only a matter of time before they change the entire premise of the show. Obviously, CBS liked the idea of the show, but hated the execution.
Instant "Moonlight" fans, just add "Mars". by Ellipsian	Jun 29th, 2007 02:12:52 PM
Add me to those brushing this off until Dohring (yum!) and Greenwalt were added. Screw. Ah well, I guess since "Veronica"'s gone, I don't feel too badly about loading up another show to my DVR.
is the pilot with original cast already filmed? by RaveX	Jun 30th, 2007 10:28:49 AM
I would really like to see "original unaired pilot" with myles and šerbeđija (suck it, that's his name) as an dvd extra when "moonlight - the complete series" is released 4 months from now.
Nice one RaveX, but you forgot to add... by Paul T. Ryan	Jul 1st, 2007 09:30:02 PM
...."with eight episodes never aired on TV"! I really don't care about this show.
