As we all know, Moonlight was cancelled by CBS this week. A move that has shocked us and broken our hearts. I have to say that this has been a roller coaster ride of emotions this week. Feeling sad, hurt, lost, angry, frustrated and just down right appalled that this happened. Moonlight meant so much to us. So much, that we joined forums, created myspace pages, and created friendships that I didn't even know were possible. Moonlight was an escape for me and lots of fans. We looked forward to it after a long week and treasured that hour on Friday night that we could escape into another world with Mick, Josef and Beth. It's so easy for CBS and others to say "move on" or "there will be another show" but for us, we're left saddened and lost because Moonlight was the one show we did enjoy. It wasn't just a tv show to me, it was something that gave me hope and something that made me belong. Joining the forum and meeting all the fans has given me something for me. Moonlight established its own family of so many unique and wonderful fans. It has been the greatest thing about being apart of this great show. I have to keep trying to save our show no matter how lost it may seem. Nina can tell it to someone who cares, because I, for one, do not want to walk away without knowing I tried. Please everyone read the "saving Moonight" thread. Print out those postcards and mail them to the addresses in that post. I know tension runs high during these times and we're all angry but lets not put down each other. We are a family, fighting for the same cause. If you don't believe Moonlight is worth fighing for, dont take that hope away from others. They deserve to handle this how they choose. With that said, I hope everyone joins the chat tomorrow night after episode 16 "Sonata." It could very well be our last new episode, so lets be there for support afterwards. I am also here to talk if anyone needs to. My Yahoo ID is BrookeLovesMick, or you could send me a PM here.
My thoughts are with Alex, Sophia, Jason, Shannyn, the rest of the cast and crew! They are the ones that are feeling most lost right now. I hope that if Moonlight does not return, we at least get to see more of them in upcoming projects. They deserve so much better then what CBS gave them.
Long Live Moonlight. You'll always be more then a show to me!

Tough weekend ahead! Going to South Dakota again! Love it there...would retire there but don't have the sense to do it I guess...the city dweller in me still wants to go back to crime, noise, traffic, etc. I must be out of my mind!
The school year is drawing to a close and the 17 year old has plenty of end-of-year functions to keep me busy - ON FRIDAY NIGHTS! Now I can earn the worst dad of the year award and skip her functions to watch Ghost Whisperer and Moonlight or go buy a working VCR or whatever they have these days...being a total technically challenged idiot that I am...I am not sure I can work anything I buy! But still...off to the Wallyworld shortly to check out the meager selections...when you live in the middle of nowhere as I do...you don't get a lot of choice of where to shop!
Tuesday is a big day for me, being only 4 days away...a corrective surgery to the first surgery I had 6 weeks ago. Although I feel fine and rearing to go back to work, the kontry doc's wont write my all is well pass until this surgery is done. It's corrective and outpatient so I should be recovering in my lazy boy the same day.
The Upfronts are coming out the day after my surgery. CBS is at 4 pm. They will be pitching their new shows plus announcing their bubble shows. I am holding my breath about Moonlight. I will be blue by the time CBS makes their announcements. I am with tubpat, I am hoping someone leaks this information sooner than 4pm. If not, when does the rest of the world get to know?
The submission guidelines on this forum are crazy! Thought I would throw that in for good measure!
All's well that ends well...LOL...except submissions...
When I was young there was a show called cliffhanger. It had three shows all in one and every week would leave you hanging on. We cant wait till more Moonlight try watching only 20 min an episode. It was more a a traditional Vampire show but it was still a love story and a 10 yrs old I was still in love. I watched every week wanting him to bite the woman he loved. I would sleep at night with my neck exposed (remember I'm 10) I wanted so badly to be part of his world. Then the time came for him to turn her and he is betrayed and staked in the heart.
My first love was killed off. I was so upset he never got to be with the one he loved, yes she was doomed to life of death but they loved each other. It has been many years, many, but I have never forgotten it. I was so crushed and over the years I had watched a few more Vampire movies all with the same outcome. That was it no more broken heart for me and I stopped watching vampire movies. I have not watched Buffy or Dark Night or any of the other Vampire movies you guys talk about but then came moonlight.
The promo wasnt that great and I wasnt planning on watching but then it happened my life was changed, hope of eternal love creeped in to my life as I watched Fever. By accident I watched Dr. Feelgood and they staked him, but he dosnt die. Any vampire movie where they can be staked and not die was worth watching. I set my DVR to record and have never looked back. I am so in love with MickBeth. The love story is so amazing that I once again want to be part of their lives.
The strange twist of fate is I now have a 10 yr old Daughter and she is in love with a Vampire show but I know no matter what happens with Mick and Beth, Mick will NEVER be killed off. My Daughter will have her heart broken many times in her life but not by Moonlight.
I have in enjoyed sharing my love for a Vampier with my Daughter. Eternal love is worth Living For.
