Moonlight did consistently win its time slot! So from where is this issue of sagging ratings coming? Isn't that the goal to win the time slot? Friday night at 9pm is the death slot and Moonlight prevailed! May is a tough month too because of college graduations and such; my nephew graduated on a Friday night in May as I know many others must have. This is such an unsuspected blow to so many fans. I am so disappointed in CBS. You know I started watching Ghost Whisperer because of Moonlight.

Yesterday, after the news broke, I called CBS to voice my concern and they kept saying nothing was confirmed yet and we wouldn't know till this afternoon. My complaint is if they did the dirty deed and it is all over the news, then why not own up to it. I still keep thinking I am going to wake up from a bad dream and CBS is going to say they are giving it a 2nd season. This show has so much potential and after surviving a turbulent start with the writers' strike and the behind the scenes issues, it still won its time slot consistently.

Personally, I think the entire Nielsen ratings system is way out of date and not representative of what people are watching. Out of all the thousands of people on the fan boards, I do not know of one that said they are a Nielsen family and have their vote counted. There should be a way for the networks to obtain actual viewing data from the cable and dish companies to have more accurate and representative reporting.

Please, please CBS, reconsider this decision. We are begging you to look at the facts. Moonlight has potential and is starting to hit its stride. It is winning its time slot consistently, the cast is awesome and they won the People's Choice Award, Alex was voted sexiest Sci-Fi guy, they have won poll after poll on the Internet, and the fans promoted the show with blood drives, food donations and donations to the Red Cross and garnered positive media coverage for CBS in the process. All of these things should add up to a renewal. Why is it these things do not count?
