Chip Johannessen is kind of by Mezzanine	Feb 22nd, 2008 02:34:27 AM
hit and miss. At least on MillenniuM, some of the episodes that he wrote were fucking incredible, others were god-awful shitfests. On the other hand, I only saw one episode of Moonlight, and it was pretty lame. So I dont't really care.
Joel Silver? by gotilk	Feb 22nd, 2008 02:42:13 AM
Maybe the last episode will have a showdown with a giant mechanical spider.
Not necessarily bad news by SirFlibble	Feb 22nd, 2008 02:43:21 AM
Moonlight is OK.. but not something that excited me like Angel did, which had a very similar concept. Would have loved to have seen what Greenwalt would have done with it.
Sunset For Moonlight by DangerMan	Feb 22nd, 2008 02:54:02 AM
This is a dumb, poorly written show. It didn't have anyone in charge that I could even see to begin with and is staffed by untalented hacks.
was this the one by Napoleon Park	Feb 22nd, 2008 03:58:43 AM
with Cybill and Bruce or the one about the immortal who needs to find true love so he can die?
ughh by slkboxrman	Feb 22nd, 2008 04:28:59 AM
whoever said this is a dumb, poorly written show is a dumb, poorly educated shmuck....get off your keyboard and get a job writing if u can write better...wannabe 'turd hope it gets renewed, its not angel but it has potential....love the shows take on vampires, more realistic, less silly.
Come on CBS - it was starting to get really good by Yeti	Feb 22nd, 2008 06:31:08 AM
Hope they give it a second season -
gotilk: You're thinking of Schumacher, not Silver by Prof. Pop-Cult	Feb 22nd, 2008 06:40:44 AM
I just couldn't keep up with this show, and I initially tuned in because of its similarity to Angel and because I think Jason Dohring is cool, after watching him on Veronica Mars. But -- I don't know... this show didn't do anything for me.
TOO SOON! by Red Shirt	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:03:22 AM
Moonlight was the sexy tomboy beanpole of a vampire show we'd all been waiting for.... If we were a 60 pound overweight house frau.
CBS, renew MOONLIGHT! I need my weekly Sophia Myles fix! by SpyGuy	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:08:56 AM
Of course, Shannyn Sossamon isn't too hard on the eyes either. And it seems to be developing a decent mythos more than just the "vampire private detective" concept.
TV can renew this...but not Journeyman by Datascream	Feb 22nd, 2008 08:35:35 AM
what a pisser
Hey slkboxrman by ByTor	Feb 22nd, 2008 09:10:39 AM
Don't call people dumb and poorly educated if you can't even spell. And you don't have to be able to get a job as a writer to call something poorly-written, and baby, this show has been poorly-written so far. That's not to say it's not fixable. I think it needs serious retooling, however...I'd abandon the whole private detective angle. Give Mick some other kind of purpose and maybe you can make something out of it. Maybe.
Eff this warmed over Forever Knight crap... by Kid Z	Feb 22nd, 2008 09:33:17 AM
...just tell me if Reaper's been picked up for next year. Damn!
Gotilk and Prof. Pop-cult- you're both wrong... by Wungolioth	Feb 22nd, 2008 10:10:13 AM
Jon Peters was the man with the giant mechanical spider fetish. For the record, I never liked this show, and dropped it from my DVR very early on.
No, you are both wrong.. no wait.... damn. by gotilk	Feb 22nd, 2008 10:24:27 AM
You're RIGHT! It was Peters. My apologies, sincerely to the producer of Hudson Hawk.
It made it a full first season? by Engelhast	Feb 22nd, 2008 10:26:05 AM
Well I'll be damned. I thought it was gone long ago.
Slkboxrman Out! by DangerMan	Feb 22nd, 2008 11:08:00 AM
Slkboxrman's post was dumb and poorly written, so he's trying to get a job on Moonlight. Terrible, terrible show. I read the CBS president saying she was in love with the star, so that explains how this crapfest is getting more episodes. Guess the star is taking one for the home team. Kid Nation, Moonlight, Viva Laughlin, Cane. CBS is toiletvision.
In his Forever... Knight... by Squashua	Feb 22nd, 2008 12:55:53 PM

Rehash of EVERYTHING else by SamBlackChvrch21	Feb 22nd, 2008 02:25:35 PM
Why do these shows just seem like watered down rehashes of superior shows from the past?
...And not in a good way. by TheBladehelm	Feb 22nd, 2008 05:30:47 PM
Sucks, bites, whatever. I want to love everything vampire so I dutifully TiVo'ed this show and the opening Charlie Rose style interview where he clumsily lays out all the vampire rules of this show set the tone for this entire lackluster crapfest. And why, oh God someone please tell me why, if the guy who you want to play your lead character is Australian, then why not just change the character a little bit so the poor dude doesn't sound like he's fighting a bad head cold all the time on top of muttering the ridiculous shit they had him saying all the time. Ditto goes for the English girl, if she's the best person for that role, then just make her English, shit, you assholes make the show up from scratch, right? You can change that detail so we don't have to watch these people over articulate their O's and Ah's. (And the English had the balls to bitch when Rene Zellweger was cast to play Bridget Jones.)
CBS must really love Vampires by skywalkerfamily	Feb 22nd, 2008 07:37:10 PM
Every season they seem to have a show about them that airs for about a month.
Peters, Schumacher... shit is shit... by Prof. Pop-Cult	Feb 23rd, 2008 10:11:52 AM
...And hard to tell apart from one another. @SamBlackChvrch2 1 You're absolutely fucking right. And we're about to see two rehashes of The X-Files on both FOX and CBS... while the original is still around as a movie series.
Moonlight should be revamped as "CSI with vampires" by Prof. Pop-Cult	Feb 23rd, 2008 10:13:58 AM
I'm not totally joking. I bet Les Mooves would love that. You have Mick solving murders CSI-style but using his vampire skills to do so. Memo to Joel Silver: This is how you can get another season from CBS.
get Ben Edlund as show runner... by lynxpro	Feb 23rd, 2008 12:46:52 PM
Ben Edlund would work as showrunner for this series, although he may be too busy with Supernatural as a consulting producer. And then solicit some of the top horror/scifi genre writers to turn in some scripts. The show could use some more Jekyll gravitas added...say by Steven Moffat???
Last nail in the coffin... by AnnoyYou	Feb 24th, 2008 12:40:17 AM
...of this crap show (har har). Maybe now Sophia Myles can get on a decent series.
Not to mention Dohring... by AnnoyYou	Feb 24th, 2008 12:42:06 AM
...who wasted himself on the last two crap seasons of "Veronica Mars" and then turned around and joined the cast of this debacle. Jason, get that Scientology show biz machinery going and get yourself a good role somewhere.
who they should get is that Joss Whedon guy by smackfu	Feb 25th, 2008 12:49:15 PM
cause I'd love to see what he could do with a vampire PI. Oh wait, nevermind, he already made one, that was far better and critically acclaimed. To those of you who didn't enjoy Angel, to see our persepective imagine if Lost was inexplicably cancelled at the height of it's popularity, then a few months later a new show with an identical concept but with a drastic drop in quality of cast, acting, production and execution. And for some insane reason THIS piece of shit knockoff gets the studio support that it's superior predecessor didn't.
Smackfu...no Whedon! by lynxpro	Feb 25th, 2008 07:32:33 PM
There's no room for "girl empowerment" on Moonlight. I don't want the show soiled by any other male - gender traitor -feminists, thank you very much!
