Michael Hinman, at SyFy Portal, has written another great article about Moonlight! He has been a wonderful supporter of our show. :) In his online column, he discusses the ratings and expresses his opinion that Moonlight returned with its long awaited new episode ~ Love Lasts Forever (#1x11) ~ without missing a step!Moonlight Back With A Vengeance"Moonlight" picked right up where it left off on CBS, marking a strong return for its first episode of 2008. The vampire show earned a 5.2 rating/9 share according to Fast National ratings from Nielsen Media Research, once again down from its "Ghost Whisperer" lead-in, but still winning the hour that contained repeats for the most part.
The last new episode to air of "Moonlight" drew a 4.9/9, and the series has remained surprisingly consistent in its ratings, fluctuating no more than 1.2 rating points between its high of 5.8/11 achieved in its series premiere to a low of 4.6/8 two weeks later. The show has never looked back, and is a little more than half a ratings point behind its all-time high.Fast Nationals usually provide a snapshot of what Americans are watching by pulling numbers from the top urban markets that includes both live viewing and same-day timeshifted viewing. A rating point generally represents more than 1.1 million households while the share indicates the percentage of televisions turned on that was tuned to the specific program. These numbers typically shift when final ratings are issued.http://www.syfyportal.com/news424618.htmlPhoto ~ This is one of my favorite images of Beth from Love Lasts Forever.

CBS has released the air date for The Mortal Cure (episode #1x12). It will be shown on Friday, January 18th... my best friend's birthday :) This will be the last new Moonlight episode since the full commitment of scripts had yet to be written at the time of the strike.

CBS issued a release stating they have rescheduled Moonlight's Love Lasts Forever episode (#1x11) to air on Friday, January 11th, 2008 at 8:00 PM (CST).Moonlight's schedule for now......December 28th, 2007 ~ Out of the Past ~ Episode #1x02 ~ RerunJanuary 4th, 2008 ~ Dr. Feelgood ~ Episode #1x03 ~ RerunJanuary 11th, 2008 ~ Love Lasts Forever ~ Episode #1x11 ~ New
Hey everyone! It looks like CBS has changed Moonlight's schedule for January 2008. They sent out a release stating Dr. Feelgood (episode #1x03) will air on 01/04/08, instead of the new Love Lasts Forever episode (#1x011). No word yet on the final new show ~ The Mortal Cure (#1x12) ~ which currently has an air date of 01/11/08.They also announced that Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs will be rerun episodes on that night.Perhaps, they are holding the new shows for the next sweeps period in February. If that is true, it could mean they have confidence in Moonlight bringing good ratings for the network during that crucial time. The continued writer's strike is causing all the networks to shuffle and rearrange their meager holdings of unaired fresh episodes. Soon, they may have only unscripted reality shows to offer. The repeats will be great for fans who missed the episodes the first time. Of course, those of us who adore the show can watch them over & over. You know I will keep you posted about Moonlight's schedule :)December 28th, 2007 ~ Out of the Past ~ Episode #1x02 ~ RerunJanuary 4th, 2008 ~ Dr. Feelgood ~ Episode #1x03 ~ Rerun
