Personally, I feel used and abused by the networks. This past season, I never missed an episode of my Jericho, Moonlight and Cane. I was active posting on their bulletin boards to show my support. I gave my business to their sponsors. All three were cancelled!

I am gun shy about getting involved in new offerings because of what happened this season. Why throw good time after bad? It is obvious that network executivies don’t give a flying frack about me and my viewership.

I am boycotting CBS and hope that many others will do the same. Fewer viewers means CBS can charge less per ad spot, which in turn, means they earn less revenue. Hopefully, as revenues fall, so will the heads of executives who took us for granted. It is the only way to ever change the way networks take us for granted.

There are too many crime shows out there. There are too many reality shows and comedy shows. If we want jokes we have only to look at our paychecks in comparison to our rising utility bills and price of gasoline. If we want reality, all we have to do is look at the total of those same bills and how much money a lot of us DON’T have to pay them. If we want to see a crime show, we’ll watch the local news, or even national news for that matter, and there is all the crime we could ever want to hear about.

Then one day, CBS came out with Jericho, and at least the premise of the show was something that made us all think, to rally behind the human spirit in the face of adversity and cheer on the fight to re-establish the country we love. And it wasn’t just about that, but also the premise that if we, as Americans, as neighbors, as cities and towns, would pull together there is nothing we cannot do. So the fans of this great show loved it and CBS’s response was to cancel it. We screamed, roared and sent POUND after POUND of nuts and we get a harried second season followed by yet another cancellation. So then we were back to crime dramas, reality shows and comedy.

Then came Moonlight, and so we thought that maybe CBS would let this one be, and NOT cancel it. But to our great dismay, they did just that, stating that the Neilson ratings were too low to keep it in production. The Neilson rating system is outdated. There are over 8 million fans of Moonlight out here and CBS just ignored us in favor of yet more comedy and a couple of new dramas.

As I said when I replied to Mr. Hillberd’s post, we don’t want more comedy, we want to soar of the wings of the supernatural and let them take us to a world where vampires DO exist. We want to live every week for Mick and Beth, and their romance. We want to be taken away from reality for that hour each week and wonder what we would do if faced with the kind of choices that Beth was faced with. As I said here, if we want reality, we don’t need a show for that. Our current state of economic hardship is all the reality we need right now, and even that is too much. We need shows like Moonlight, Jericho and (I applaude CW for not cancelling this one) Supernatural.

The anger that these fans feel is from watching damn good show after damn good show being cancelled. Their anger, as well as mine, is from being made fun of and all but outright called ‘obsessed wierdos’.

We just want our show back. We want Moonlight back, on whatever network will have it, and believe me, all of the fans, myself included, will follow.

And yes. We want more ‘vomance’. Its sure beats the hell out of some dumb show about swingers.

Probably had an editor telling him to write something about Moonlight because as we see, it gets the hits.
