CBS Have You Gone Batty?
Seriously now – c'mon my friends – have you lost your minds?
For weeks we have heard the Moonlights second season was all but a given – now literally hours before the upfronts we hear that it has not made the line up, but instead may be replaced with "The Unit" on Friday nights.
Uh….what?
You're not really thinking that military explosions and violence are what your Friday night viewers want – are you? Is this another one of those "we want a younger demographic things?" Here's a little heads up for ya CBS – the younger demographic is out partying on Friday nights! If you want loyal viewers – then you want the Moonlight fans! We can't be pigeon-holed into anyone set of numbers, but we can all be put in the category of loyal and consistent.
We don't want to see things blow up or deal with mercenary style violence – if I want to deal with the war I will turn on CNN, or better yet I will hit my knees and pray for the soldiers serving overseas. I will look at the picture of my Godson and feel my heart break as I worry that he might not make it home from Baghdad. The last thing I need to be reminded of is military violence – I live with that every day.
We don't want reality television – I have enough reality every other hour of the week!! This is my time – to escape in the delightful romance of Mick and Beth, and to escape into the fantasy of immortality.
I'm way beyond the need to watch twenty-something characters living on Daddy's trust fund money hop from bed to bed as they try to find themselves. I've found myself already thank you very much – now that I've been found I need a little escape. Moonlight offers me that opportunity.
Okay – so maybe we are not your "perfect" demographic, but sometimes when you start out looking for one thing you find something else even better. Moonlight aired its final episode during the strike in mid-January, and then there wasn't a peep from tinsel town about our beloved show for months. Then we got the word that there would be 4 new episodes, but there was no re-runs, no promotion….basically Moonlight was put in the corner like a naughty child to be ignored for three solid months. We arrive at mid-April and you start to promote the show a little, and we were still there waiting patiently. You push back the date to begin airing the new episodes – and we are still there waiting patiently.
April 25th finally arrives – the new Christmas for Moonlight fans – and WE WERE THERE! We tuned in, turned our friends, we DVR'd, we TiVo'd, and we bought it from UnBox and I-tunes. We downloaded the music and we patronized the sponsors – WE WERE THERE!
You left us in January 7.5 Million strong – and when you finally came back to us three long months later we were all STILL there!
We aren't a specific demographic.
We are the Moonlight Fans!
We are Alex O'Loughlin fans!
We are Jason Dohring fans!
We are Sophia Myles fans!
We are Trevor Munson fans!
We won't give up. We won't give in. We won't say die.
You haven't given us much time – just two days – but in two days we can raise an army……so CBS…..watch out……it is SO on!
When Moonlight is give an Season Two – and I have the ultimate confidence that if CBS can't see the gem they have right in their own line-up that another network will snatch it up in a heart beat – we will still be there, where ever that "there" might be.
