There are reports that the canceled CBS vampire drama "Moonlight" could get picked up by Media Rights Capital, the media conglom that has bought Sunday nights from CW to air its own programming slate. Could cult fave Mick St. John (played by Alex O’Loughlin, right) bring CW its biggest audience to date - with a show canceled by another network, on a night that’s been outsourced? That would be embarrassing.
But otherwise, CW’s programming presentation yesterday left us with only the titles of four new shows that might air on Media Rights Capital Sundays: “Surviving Suburbia,” “Book of Murphy,” “I.M. Valentine, Investigations” and “Fat City.”
The "Moonlight" dramatics come before CBS even announces its fall schedule today. Word is CBS will renew all of its popular Monday comedies and perhaps use a couple of them to build a second night of comedy. We’ll have all the details as soon as they’re official, […]

The sun came up on the CBS schedule this afternoon, and crime-solving-vampire drama "Moonlight" is history. Lots of backstage problems may have been the killer for the show, which was at best a so-so ratings performer, despite the loyalty of the brooding-TV-vampire audience.
CBS announces its schedule tomorrow and all the ins and outs are leaking now. As we already told you, "How I Met Your Mother" and "New Adventures of Old Christine" are coming back, but so, amazingly, is the dismal "Rules of Engagement."

Talk about good news, bad news.  CBS will be unveiling their Fall lineup this week but early word is that MOONLIGHT has been given the stake through the heart and will not return to CBS this Fall. Word on the street is that is what a combination of backstage drama (multiple showrunners, creative directions issues, […]

Yesterday was full of anticlimactic "news" - Jimmy Fallon taking over "Late Night," "Scrubs" moving to ABC to finish out its run. But after the sun went down here in the east, that was lots of good stuff posted on the fall schedules, including widespread reports that "Reaper" has been given a 13-episode midseason order by CW. We won’t know for absolute sure until CBS and CW announce their deals on Wednesday, but it looks like a lock. And I don’t care if it came about because the writers strike screwed up the development season. I will watch "Reaper" tonight with a full heart.
ABC will announce its plans this morning. In the meantime…

Michael Rapaport ("War at Home," "My Name Is Earl") will play a fed on "Prison Break" (Hollywood Reporter).
Several sources say ABC has picked up "Life On Mars," an American remake of the Brit series about a cop who […]

On "Doctor Who," The Doc and Donna make some awful discoveries on the Ood Sphere. Like for instance that sci fi is the only thing worth watching on Friday nights.

On "Moonlight," Mick has to face up to a few things when the grandson of his World War II buddy goes missing.

The search for earth takes an unexpected turn on "Battlestar Galactica," and Starbuck reaches new levels of crazy.

Welcome back MOONLIGHT. CBS’s vampish cult hit returned with a new episode this past Friday and it returned with quite an impact. There was a lot to take in this week, and I found myself once again drawn into the show…despite realizing that it’s far from perfect.
In case you missed it…
In a nutshell, when […]

You know that feeling when you wake up on a Saturday morning and you get out of bed thinking it’s Friday and you have to go to work only to realize that oh my god it’s not Friday, it’s Saturday, and you can go back to bed? Yeah? Well that’s my long winded […]

Normally I think the whole "save our show" thing is pretty silly, but the fans of vampire-detective yarn "Moonlight" have a good one. They’re not just fans out to save their show, they’re organizing to show their enthusiasm by doing good for the world: They’re holding a blood drive.
Yes, vampires, blood, ha ha. But more importantly, they’re doing something that’s not just about their own entertainment. Good for them.
The other thing that’s clever about this effort is that they’re starting it when it might do some good: Not just before the show has been canceled, but also before the show returns for its second season. The buzz from this stunt just might convince people that the show’s worth watching, and then fans won’t need to start mailing bodily fluids to producers so they can save their favorite vampire from the clutches of bloodsucking TV executives.
"Moonlight" returns to CBS on […]

CBS today unveiled a no-frills list of premiere dates and episode counts for its shows returning after the strike. The plans are ambitious, especially for the comedies. "How I Met Your Mother," "Big Bang Theory" and "Two And A Half Men" (left) are all set to return on March 17, producing nine more episodes for the season. That’s going to call for a lot of extra Skittles in the writers’ room, I’d say. Another Monday show, "CSI Miami," is due back March 24 and expected to produce eight more hourlong episodes, which is, come to think of it, almost twice as much television as nine episodes of a sitcom.
Other shows’ return dates and episode counts: "Cold Case," March 30, five. "Criminal Minds" and "CSI: NY," April 2 and seven each. "CSI" and "Without A Trace," April 3 and six. "Ghost Whisperer" and "Numb3rs," April 4 and six. "NCIS," April 8 […]

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Jason Dohring a few times over the past few years, and let me tell you…it doesn’t get old. I find Jason one of the most captivating actors on the small screen today, and was beyond excited when I learned this summer that he was cast […]
