Moonlight cancelled
"CBS' vampire drama "Moonlight" will not rise again.
Sources confirm the fan favorite will not be renewed by the network for a second season.CBS declined to pickup the series because it was failing to hold its "Ghost Whisperer" lead-in and declined in the ratings post-strike. Last Friday's episode garnered a 2.0 rating among adults 18 to 49.The news will doubtlessly devastate "Moonlight" fans, which have been very passionate for the show by any standard.
Recently fans organized a nationwide blood drive to rally viewer support for a renewal.But last year CBS picked up cult favorite "Jericho" despite mediocre ratings, only to see the series plummet when it returned this year. With "Moonlight" having a serialized storyline, the chances of the show rebounding next season seemed slim.The cancellation means "The Big Bang Theory" is the only member of CBS' freshman crop to return next year."
