This Bites: Why Moonlight Won't Live On at the CW

Moonlight fans hoping to see Alex O'Loughlin and his vampire-drama buddies resurrected by the CW had their dreams squashed when Media Rights Capital officially released the Sunday line-up it had developed for the fifth network. Addressing the decision to pass up the opportunity to pick up the cult hit and its eight million viewers, MRC TV president Keith Samples explains to Variety, "It just didn't seem in the end that it was the right thing to do at this moment in time."We're going down a new path here, I'll be the first to admit," Samples adds. "Things will come up on this road we didn't foresee, and we will evolve." That said, sources tell TVGuide.com that Warner Bros. TV still is "exploring other options," thought it is unclear if that relates to hosting existing episodes of Moonlight or delivering new ones. — MWMRelated:• Official CW Sunday Sked: Laughs, Love, Loan Sharks• Will the CW Bring Moonlight Back to Life?• Moonlight Has Drawn its Last BloodReview ou...
