Mandi, from Entertainment Weekly's Pop Watch Blog, wants our comments. She did a post allowing fans to mourn canceled shows, including Moonlight. While reading the replies, she noticed that a lot of people are planning to boycott CBS. Now, she wants to hear more about it from the fans.
Ooooooo..... and Mandi also mentions the Hollywood Reporter stating that Moonlight is still being shopped :)

Ever boycott a show or a network (and for how long)?
After reading the comments on my post mourning CBS' cancellation of Moonlight (pictured), in which some viewers vow to boycott the network, and those on Abby West's Bones season finale preview and postmortem, in which a handful of fans threaten to abandon the Fox drama after its rushed resolution to the Gormogon case, I'm wondering how often people actually follow through on such promises.
So, tell me: Have you ever boycotted an entire network? Or gone cold turkey on a show because you felt it did you wrong? And how long did you hold out? I'm fascinated.
P.S. While I'm the "obsessed colleague" who wouldn't stop complaining to Abby about Booth's beer helmet — (a) he had a tub caddy that could've held his cans and (b) I know he's a "dude," but he still shops at Spencer's? — I'll be back.
P.P.S. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Moonlight is still being shopped to cable networks, including TNT. Hmmm. While TNT has Angel repeats in the morning, I'm not sure I see vamps fitting into its primetime lineup. Angel alums on the other hand, yes: I went to the Turner upfronts last week, and saw that J. August Richards (Gunn) has a role in Steven Bochco's upcoming TNT legal drama, Raising the Bar, while Christian Kane (Lindsey) will be seen opposite Timothy Hutton in the net's Leverage. Of course, TNT already has a double dose of Boreanaz, with Tuesday night Bones repeats.

Well, I went to the blog and left my message about how I would never again watch anything on cbs since they cancelled MOONLIGHT. As usual, there were zillions of messages from scores of fans who were equally upset about MOONLIGHT's cancellation. I've written postcards, emailed cbs in protest, made phonecalls, etc. There are SO MANY people, doing SO MANY great things to keep MOONLIGHT alive- I just hope it works.
Yes I will boycot CBS, shame on them for cancelling MOONLIGHT. It is a great show, what were they thinking?? Hopefully, ABC, CW, NBC...etc, will pick up the show. MOONLIGHT was the ONLY reason I would watch CBS on Fridays.
