'Moonlight', CBS Still Winners

It’s deja vu all over again - once again, CBS won Friday night with the help of Moonlight. Fast overnight ratings indicate that approximately 8.56 million viewers tuned in to Moonlight, a gain of about 750,000 from last week and putting it just a smidge behind Women’s Murder Club for a second place ranking in the timeslot. However, Moonlight was number one in the coveted 18-49 demographic for the fourth week this season (out of five weeks).

Thanks for the new thread! The title is fine. We should definitely keep the BuzzWire name in there!

Thanks for the new thread! I agree about the title, it's cool like that

Miss A Rod · 12-23-2007, 01:42 PM

OK, so I read somewhere that we won't be getting a new episode on january 4, but a re-run from Dr. Feelgood. I'll try and find the article where I read it.

Tennessee Whiskey · 12-23-2007, 09:05 PM

Thanks for the new thread.

the opening is fantastic!

Melissa Ann · 12-23-2007, 09:23 PM

Thankyou!

I've heard too that there is not a new episode on January 4th. But I think it just might be a rumor because of the writer's strike.

afrocurl · 12-24-2007, 09:43 PM

Thanks for the new thread.

One of the Moonlight fansites has information that 1x11 isn't airing until after the 4th, but I'm not really sure.

Moonlight fan campaign to book Alex O'Loughlin on daytime talk shows

A dedicated Moonlight fan and blog reader sent me the following information. This is another great idea for supporting our show! Plus, we would all love to see more Alex interviews, right?

I’ve spoken to a friend who works for one of the networks. They suggested if we want to really support the show, and even better raise the viewer numbers, the best way to do it is to contact the top three talk shows to ask to have Alex on the show. We know that Alex is charismatic, funny and personable so the key is to get him on these chat shows to give the show exposure. We MUST get the show bookers to recognize that there’s an audience out there who want to see Alex and hear about the show.

If we do a write in campaign to Ellen, the View and Regis & Kelly we can potentially get him booked on these shows to raise awareness for Moonlight and Alex’s profile.

They book for these shows about a month in advance. If we start now, by the time everyone is back from the holidays, it might start to make an impact. Trust me this is going to be a successful way of raising the profile of the show and hopefully the numbers.

Here’s the email and mailing addresses for these shows.

Tips for making a mass number of post cards.

If you want to do postcards, I can tell you some simple ways of making loads at one time. You can make up 33 (on a page) address labels with the addresses for the production companies. Then you only need to fill in the backs of the postcards, saying:

"Please have on Alex O’Loughlin. We love Moonlight! Alex O’Loughlin would be a great guest! I am a regular viewer and would love to see him."

You can buy premade postcards at the post office that already have the postage on them if that helps save time. Also, keep in mind send them in a few handful of postcards everyday, not all at once.

If everyone could add this to their list of Moonlight things to do it would be REALLY beneficial.

I am all for a campaign like this! Anyone else?

Miss A Rod · 12-25-2007, 05:28 PM

I would love that. One with Alex and Sophia would be even better.

Of course you can mention that as well!

Scheduling Change...
According to a press release issued by CBS on December 20th, 2007, a rebroadcast of S01E03 "Dr. Feelgood" will air on Friday January 4th, 2008 at 9:00PM ET - the normal Moonlight spot. Barring a mistake by the publicity department, this would indicate that new episodes of ML are being held back.

You can read the relevant copy from the press release here:
BuzzWire News

I'm currently waiting for further confirmation from one of my contacts at CBS on scheduling changes.

An extra week to wait.

Moonlight #4 in Genre Ratings

According to Michael Hinmen of ScifyPortal, "Moonlight" landed at #4 for the fall season based on a ratings comparison of genre shows;

""Moonlight" was probably the biggest surprise of the season, finishing in fourth place with a 5.1/9, incredibly just a little more than half a ratings point off its series premiere of 5.8/11. Only "Smallville" and "Supernatual" on The CW have been able to retain that much of its premiere audience. "Moonlight's" lowest rating in the first 10 weeks was just a little more than one ratings point off its premiere. While the show is still not pulling in the numbers that its companion shows are for CBS Friday night, it does seem like "Moonlight" will be around for a while."

Thanks for all the Moonlight info!

Miss A Rod · 12-26-2007, 06:28 PM

They are in second place right. behind Meredith and Derek. We can beat them and become number 1

also, some bad news, starting January 4 Moonlight will be up against episodes of House. And I think they are new episodes. Not re-runs

Melissa Ann · 12-26-2007, 08:17 PM

Thanks for all the information and links!

**Enigma** · 12-26-2007, 10:48 PM
