Sci Fi and USA networks welcome the New Year with new episodes of their signature series. According to The Futon Critic, which has exclusively confirmed the networks' plans, Monk and Psych will resume their current seasons on Friday, January 9 at 9/8c and 10/9c, respectively.
Psych, which stars James Roday a young crime consultant for the Santa Barbara, California Police Department whose "heightened observational skills" him to convince people that he is psychic, has recently been renewed by the USA network for a fourth season after a record-breaking summer. Monk, on the other hand, is presently on its seventh season and has just reached the 100th episode milestone before the show went into a summer season hiatus.

Back in June, when the fate of the CBS series Moonlight was yet undetermined, we reported that the first season DVD of said show will be released some time in September. Now that the month is coming to a close, fans have started to become anxious about the DVD release. While they want to get their hands on the DVD to calm the frustration caused by the non-renewal of the show that brought us Alex O'Loughlin as the sexy vamp detective Mick St. John, no definite reports have surfaced.
In August, though, we brought you good news with CBS announcing that while they have officially turned off Moonlight, they will be keeping the 32-year-old Australian actor to pursue other series projects with the network. In fact, CBS and O’Loughlin went ahead to sign a year-long contract for the actor to work on a project developed by Mark Gordon, who is also behind the hits Desperate Housewives, Army Wives, Grey's Anatomy and Criminal Minds.

Around three months after being canceled in May, life goes on for the star of Moonlight, the sci-fi series about hot vampires. After all, Moonlight attracted a huge following for Alex O'Loughlin, with some 7.5 million people tuning in week after week. The people over at CBS thought this wasn't good enough to renew the series for another season, but apparently, it's good enough reason to hold on to Mick St. John.
CBS has signed a one-year deal with Moonlight hottie O'Loughlin and reportedly plans to give him a new show to be developed by Mark Gordon, the force behind hits Desperate Housewives, Army Wives, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, etc.

While some have already packed their bags and tidied up their camp sites following the campaign to bring Moonlight back to CBS, quite a number of fans are still clamoring for the return of the much-loved series which starred Alex O’Loughlin and Sophia Miles. The series, which only survived a season with a little under an average of 7.5 million viewers, was cut by CBS earlier this year because the network claimed that the ratings weren’t sufficient enough for a renewal. Moreover, CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler admitted that unlike Jericho, the resurrected series with a passionate fanbase, Moonlight’s fans tend to support the actor behind it rather than the series itself.
"The response to Moonlight was actually more actor-centric, so I think it certainly measures our decision on the show," Tassler told reporters at the TCA last month.

It appears as though the relentless fan campaign to bring Moonlight back to life has finally reached its turning point. After news of a possible pick up by other networks such as The CW, the SciFi channel, and DirectTV, which have probably fostered false hope among fans of the vampire detective series, Mick St. John and the rest of the characters of Moonlight have now been buried to its final resting place.
Don’t shoot the messenger here, but Moonlight is over, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The sets of the paranormal romance series have now been dismantled in preparation for CBS’ upcoming drama The Mentalist, which stars Simon Baker as a detective who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation.

Still part of their incessant quest to bring Moonlight back to life, fans of the canceled CBS vampire detective series have decided to gather outside the Schenley Park visitor center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania tomorrow at 12pm to 4pm.
Moonlight, the series that follows private investigator, Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin) as he struggles in the present day with his love for a mortal woman Beth Turner (Sophia Myles), has rapidly increased its fan base over the course of its first few episodes. By the 12th episode of the series, fans have fortified their support for the show by making use of the hiatus, brought about by the writers' strike, to creatively come up with a blood drive, which is an initiative to give the series a bloody welcome when it returns with four new episodes and to show their dedication to the freshman series, and importantly to request that CBS renew Moonlight for a second season.
