As expected, Moonlight fans have started to resort to desperate measures in attempt to bring back the vampire detective series that was recently axed by CBS. While pleas and petitions are underway, another rumored possibility of salvation has just come to light.
According to deadlinehollywooddaily.com, Warner Bros. is shopping the show around to other networks, one of which is The CW. Media Rights Capital, the firm contracted by The CW to program its Sunday-night block, is among those being eyed. The rumored possibility of an afterlife surfaced when Warner Bros. decided to hold off the striking down of Moonlight's sets until Friday.

It's CBS, so it's boring. Sure, there are a fair share of CBS shows that I will watch religiously, but for a non-procedural drama fan, the pickings are slim. CBS is a successful network because they know its audience and cater directly towards them. At this morning's upfront presentation, CBS unveiled its fall schedule, and the surprises were minimal. The network introduced five new series, which we will discuss below, and they all seem to fit in well with the network as a whole. Bubble shows How I Met Your Mother and The New Adventures of Old Christine have survived – Moonlight has not. Below you will find the full CBS Fall schedule, plus a look at each of CBS's new series.

Moonlight is dust. According to multiple sources, CBS has decided not to renew the freshman vampire drama for a second season, undoubtedly leaving many fans left wondering where it all went wrong.
Just one week ago, Moonlight was looking good to come back. Though the ratings weren't stellar, it routinely won it's time slot (though to be fair, 9pm on Fridays isn't exactly competitive). After the cancellation of Jericho, it seemed CBS would probably stick with at least one of its big cult fan favorites. This was not to be.

Thanks to CBS being high on a slew of new dramas in development, the fate of Moonlight remains uncertain. As the vampire detective series wraps up its pilot season, it's imperative that fans put up a bloody good fight and improve the ratings especially with season finale. With any luck, CBS won't put a stake on Moonlight, and hopefully, the end is only the beginning.
Meanwhile, here are some spoilers for season ender of Moonlight.

You'd think the CBS upfront presentation would be pretty dull whit Wednesday. With the sheer volume of successful crime procedurals (the CSI franchise, NCIS, Cold Case, Without a Trace, Ghost Whisperer, etc) it's hard to believe there's any room on the schedule for new shows. Nonetheless, Variety reports that CBS has ordered six new shows for its 2008-2009 season, including four hour-long dramas. And while How I Met Your Mother is safe (thanks, one assumes, to the Britney bump), the amount of dramas is very, very bad news for Moonlight.

Previously on Moonlight: Beth quit her job at BuzzWire and asked Josef to kill a paparazzo who knew Mick's secret. New ADA Ben Talbot, however, had already received the incriminating photos.
Beth (Sophia Myles) starts the day meeting with Ben, who wants her help on an abducted kid because she wrote two stories on similar incidents in the past year. Meanwhile, Josef (Jason Dohring) and Mick get back to Josef's pad after a busy day of couch shopping. That is a scene I am furious we didn't get to see. A news report on the abduction comes on the TV and Mick (Alex O'Loughlin) is quite interested in it. He runs into Beth at the scene and says he grew up in that neighborhood.

Last week on Moonlight, Beth received an e-mail from a photographer containing the photos of Mick (Alex O'Loughlin) being hit by the car and walking away. The photographer tried to blackmail her, telling her if she doesn't make sure he gets all of Buzzwire's exclusives from now on, he'll stalk and expose Mick. Fearing that Mick would leave town once exposed, Beth (Sophia Myles) asked Josef (Jason Dohring) to “handle it,” reasoning that Mick has protected her and saved her many times and she's just returning the favor. Although Josef already took care of the photographer, copies of the photos of Mick being hit by the car had already been sent to ADA Talbot (Eric Winter).
This week, paranormal romance continues in Moonlight's penultimate episode called “What's Left Behind.” Read on for spoilers.

Men In Trees has been canceled. The Anne Heche-led series has had its fair share of ups and downs over its short life. It has had its moments (especially when placed after Grey's Anatomy on the schedule) but Men In Trees turned into one of those shows that suffered from schizophrenic scheduling, ABC moving it all around its prime time landscape, as well as keeping it off the air for long stretches of time. Now, it is gone for good. The Hollywood Reporter took a look at a number of so-called “on the bubble” shows today and their conclusions are somewhat surprising. Keep reading to find out the possible (probable, maybe) fates of Reaper, Moonlight, Boston Legal and more.
