“MOONLIGHT”
TO SHINE ON THE CW
Acclaimed Vampire Series starring Alex O’Loughlin Joins
“The Vampire Diaries”
On Thursday Nights Beginning June 3
May 6, 2010 (Burbank, CA) ? Summer just got a lot scarier on The CW. The network will air the acclaimed drama MOONLIGHT on Thursday nights beginning June 3. MOONLIGHT will air from 9:00-10:00 p.m. ET, following encore episodes of the first season of the The CW’s hit drama, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.
On MOONLIGHT, Mick St. John (Alex O’Loughlin) is a captivating, charming and immortal private investigator from Los Angeles, who defies the traditional blood-sucking norms of his vampire tendencies by using his wit and powerful supernatural abilities to help the living. In a life-altering twist of fate, Mick was “bitten” 60 years ago by his new bride, the seductive Coraline (Shannyn Sossamon). Forever 30 years of age, Mick’s as handsome and charismatic as the day he was “turned,” and he eschews others of his kind who view humans only as a source of nourishment. With only a handful of like-minded confidantes for company, including the eternally young, wealthy and mischievous Josef (Jason Dohring), a hedge fund trader who relishes his uniqueness, Mick fills his infinite days protecting the living. One night years ago, a single act of kindness changed Mick when he saved a young girl’s life, making him want to be a better vampire. Now their paths cross again and Mick develops a distinctive bond with Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), who has grown into a beautiful, ambitious internet investigative reporter. Reconnecting with her unleashes feelings Mick knows he can’t pursue without exposing that part of him that would make him a monster in Beth’s eyes. As Mick lives between two realities, fighting his adversaries among the undead and falling in love, he discovers the mysteries and pleasures that a valuable life has to offer.

Personally, I don't care what day of the week SuperN airs, just so long as I know when that is so I can watch it.
As for that being good or bad, don't know 'cause I live in Europe and tv networks work different here, for instance AXN (tv channel) that airs spn here in Portugal airs it at Monday nights and it works good.
On the good side, I LOVE Moonlight and I think Alex O'Loughlin is the fifth hottest guy ever after Jensen and Jared and Mitch Hewer and this guy at my school. It's a really good show--vampires before vampires became passe--and I'd recomend everyone watch it.
Oh, Moonlight. What a tease to air re-runs. I loved this show and it never got a fair chance. ElenaM, you're right, the fans were quite upset - there were several campaigns in a effort to save the show, if I recall, and I think on of them involved the blood bank. Alex O'Laughlin is a wonderful vampire - by which I mean "yum!"
What is irritating about Moonlight is that if it had come out one year later, during the Twilight craze, it likely would have survived. Instead, it came out the year of the writer's strike as a mid-season show. It aired a few episodes, then went off due to the strike, wasn't advertised/supported by CBS at all and then came back for a few more episodes, then off again and then back for the final four. In the meantime the network execs were looking at each other wondering why it wasn't doing well.... :roll:: Sorry, rant over. I hate networks that aren't loyal to their shows in the least and don't give them a chance.
I don't know, in the last few days I've been getting some conflicting reports. Betwixt (Changelings) isn't the sure thing people thought it would be two weeks ago. There isn't a lot of buzz and they need buzz for a show to take over that slot. I'm still trying to find out more info, but Supernatural might be keeping Thursdays after all (not in summer). It's still way too soon to tell. As soon as I find out, I'll report.
Conflicting reports, Alice? that is confusing, indeed. I wouldn't mind the show moving to Fridays, actually, as I could watch it on Saturday then and not having to go to work confused, rattled with emotion or in tears, pretending to be allergic to explain my puffy eyes...
So, until there is an official confirmation of the day the show will be on air, I'll just wait....
I liked Moonlight, though. Too bad they had only one season. It was a likeable vampire show with potential that was never played out more. Shame.
Thanks, Jas
