Moonlight "Vampire Cop Drama" on CW

Oh, so that's what it was.

I saw it on the Sci-Fi channel, watched for like 5 minutes then turned the channel.

Is it any good?

Mel...

Moonlight is a canceled show from approx 3 or so years ago that they appear to be trying to get some more steam out of. So don't get too attached as there was only one season of it. Didn't it follow Vampire Diaries? I think they're trying to get that market share to continue watching for their targeted advertising.

I thought that was canceled two years ago.

ETA: And Diane beat me to it.

Moonlight ran during the writer's strike a couple of years ago, and that affected the script quality and continuity. The best part of it, IMO were the scenes between the main character and his best friend. It's a fun show, and probably fits the CW's line-up

Most likely CBS is using it to gain a fanbase for the actor who played the main character, as he's the new lead in the Hawaii 5-0 remake.

Yep. Daniel Dae Kim, who was on Lost, is in it, too. (as Chin Ho Kelly). The pilot previews make it look very action oriented. More like a mini-movie than a TV-show, which makes me wonder how much of the show is flash over characterization.

This is exactly why they're re-running it.
It was an enjoyable hour of the week when it was on, and I would have liked for it to continue, mainly because at the time there wasn't much on TV vampire-wise. Now I still think it was a decent show, but I'm able to get my fix with True Blood. I didn't watch Vampire Diaries, but I've started recording the reruns of season 1 so I'll at least give it a few episodes.

I love that show for one reason: Jason Dohring (Josef). He played Logan Echolls in Veronica Mars, and I'll watch anything he does.

Otherwise, it was an okay show. I think it had bad timing otherwise it might've lasted a bit longer.

I loved Moonlight when it was on but don't want to watch it on TV when I can watch the DVDs. I'd say give it a go. Alex is entertaining. Now if only Hawaii Five-O doesn't get axed after just one season (or 8 episodes like Three Rivers).

I enjoyed it, I caught the first episode last week.
It reminds me so much of Beauty and the Beast and, lo and behold, I discovered the same people are behind it.

Moonlight was on CBS here when it first came out---watched it. MC is a PI and not a cop though. I've got it on DVD! I love Alex O'Loughlin so I enjoyed the show--too bad it only ran 2 seasons...
True Blood starts soon and so does Being Human!
