CBS stakes 'Moonlight'
Posted at 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 14
CBS put a stake through the heart of the vampire series “Moonlight” on Wednesday, canceling the freshman drama despite a vocal fan base that is poised to send the network vials of blood to save the show.
“We had to make a very tough decision,” CBS Entertainment chief Nina Tassler said during a New York press conference aired online. “I loved that vampire—what can I tell ya?”
The show wasn’t all that great. But I will miss the lingering shots of Alex O’Loughlin (right), who plays vampire private eye Mick St. John. There's one set of teeth I'd let bite me.
Tassler also denied rumors that “Moonlight” might travel to the CW network. “Probably not, no,” she said.
The network also canceled “Shark,” but added two new comedies and three dramas. Here’s how the network describes the new shows, followed by a video clip of each. Go to the jump for the fall schedule announced Wednesday.
