The other day the L.A. Times had a report that the CW — jumping even further on the current vampire bandwagon — is going to resurrect one of my favorite TV shows, “Moonlight,” by showing re-runs of it this summer on Thursday nights in “The Vampire Diaries” timeslot before re-runs of VD. Personally, I like “The Vampire Diaries,” but I don’t love “The Vampire Diaries.” I did LOVE “Moonlight” however. When CBS canceled it two years ago — right before “Twilight” and "True Blood" came out and started the whole vampire craze — I was just a tad bit devastated. Thank goodness for “Moonlight” on DVD. Yes, I admit I've already watched my "Moonlight" Season 1 DVDs more times than any gal should admit.
In my opinion, “Moonlight” makes “The Vampire Diaries” look like a snore and obviously some awesome person at the CW remembers how great it was, too. Unfortunately, its star Alex O’Loughlin has moved onto a new TV show for next season (the Hawaii 5-0 remake, of all things) in addition to starring in the new Jennifer Lopez film, “The Back-up Plan,” so fingers crossed, if the ratings convinced The CW to renew the show for a second season (oh, wow, wouldn’t that just be wonderful) I’m not sure my favorite TV vamp would be willing to give the show another shot. Recasting Mick would just be tragic. But here’s to hoping enough new viewers discover the awesomeness that is “Moonlight” and Mick St. James. And here's hoping that the fates align to truly resurrect this show with the original cast intact…
Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
