When Jericho and Moonlight Meet

Scifi fans know Carol Barbee as the executive producer and a writer on the cult favorite series Jericho. But these days, she’s making the Moonlight fans happy because she cast Alex O’Loughlin to star in her new medical drama, Three Rivers.
I met up with Carol at a recent press screening of her new show and here’s what she had to say about casting everyone’s favorite vampire as a top transplant surgeon.
“Alex had a holding deal for CBS and I was under contract to CBS. He met with lots of people, we met with lots of people. He want to …read more

Brian Austin Green Goes into Politics

Zap2it is reporting that Brian Austin Green has joined the cast of the CW pilot, Body Politic playing a character named Lucky.
The series is Gossip Girl in Washington DC with young government staffers taking the place of bored, rich high-schoolers.
The cast also includes former Moonlight star Jason Dohring, Minka Kelly of Friday Night Lights, Tim Matheson and Gabrielle Union.
Nice cast but it begs the question — does this mean there are no more Terminators in Green’s future?
Word is Body Politic is simply a fallback should Sarah Connor be given the old heave ho. If Connor is picked up for a …read more

Moonlight’s Old Time Slot Is Open Again

Moonlight’s Old Time Slot Is Open Again

Wow, that was fast. Fans of vampire drama Moonlight are firing up the “I Told You So’s” after CBS announced the cancellation of The Ex List. Buddy TV says CBS may air some of the unused episodes but this Friday in the 9 p.m.CT timeslot, it will air an NCIS rerun.
Its last episode drew a measly 5.65 million viewers. In the interest of keeping stats for genre fans, it’s worth keeping count of the number of failed shows in this slot.  We will even do so in the style of a famous TV vampire. That’s one! Ah ha ha!

Starpulse Predicts Fringe Cancellation

Starpulse Predicts Fringe Cancellation

One of the most interesting things about a new fall season is trying to figure out which shows will hit and which shows will miss. Starpulse’s Kate Kostal appears unimpressed with much-anticipated Fox genre show Fringe’s chances.
She’s worried the “similar to the X-Files” vibe will be too much to live up to, listing Fringe among what she calls “DOA” shows like Kath and Kim or The Ex-List. Since The Ex-List inherits Moonlight’s old timeslot, I’m guessing a few thousand of our readers would not be sad to see that one die a quick and painless death.
She also lists Christian …read more

The Difference Between Fan and Fanatic?

The Difference Between Fan and Fanatic?

Our discussions about Jericho and Moonlight have led to some of the most real, heartfelt debate we’ve ever had on this site. We’re all about keeping it going.
Cynthia brought up an interesting point. A guy that paints his chest multiple colors to support his favorite football team gets treated completely differently than a guy who wears Spock ears in public. Both are making a unique fashion statement, but only one of them will likely be accused of living in his parents’ basement.
For what it’s worth, I’m just as likely to be caught wearing a giant football helmet as I am …read more

Laura Roslin, Final Cylon?

Laura Roslin, Final Cylon?

At least that’s the deal according to an extremely scientific sampling of our dedicated fanbase. It would explain visions, questionable decision making at times (like agreeing to an alliance with the rebel Cylons really quickly) and how a blood transfusion from a hybrid baby temporarily stopped her cancer.
Her opposition to Starbuck would make some sense too. The cast knows apparently, but they’re of course not talking under penalty of death. Maybe not death, but it would be a minute before Battlestar Galactica brass called them for another role. Of course, if Bionic Woman is any indication would that be …read more

CW May Be Interested In Moonlight

CW May Be Interested In Moonlight

Nikki Finke’s Deadline Hollywood Daily says there is “a chance, only a chance,” that freshly canceled vampire drama Moonlight could reappear on the CW. Apparently this eleventh-hour reprieve was so sudden the staff has stopped tearing down the sets.
With Smallville listing badly, the CW could use the instant boost Moonlight would provide. It would almost certainly be the new number one show on the network. Of course I should caution that the first speculation after a show is canceled is usually that “CW might pick it up.” I’m waiting for the scuttlebutt that they might recover Back to You …read more

CBS Breaks More Genre Fans Hearts

CBS Breaks More Genre Fans Hearts

I would not want to be an exec at the Tiffany Network right now. If Jericho fans send peanuts, I don’t even want to know what Moonlight fans are going to send. Sci-fi, horror and fantasy fans are always on pins and needles this time of year but 2008 has been harsher than normal.
Canning Jericho and Moonlight in the same season is going to move CBS to the top of fans’ hit lists, past perennial culprit Fox. Congrats guys, you dodged the New Amsterdam bullet thanks to CBS who has volunteered to take some heat for you.
I can’t wait …read more

WB SCI FI Series Head to Germany

WB SCI FI Series Head to Germany

According to Variety, Warner Bros. has sold airing rights to to Germany’s ProSiebenSat.1 for three of their newest series, Moonlight, Chuck, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
This is great news for all three of the shows but is especially significant in the case of Sarah Connor.  Currently, the show only has nine episodes completed and is sitting on the renewal fence for next year.  There’s be no official wrod in regard to the show’s future, but it’s hard to imagine Warner Bros selling the rights to a show with so few episodes if they didn’t expect to have more in …read more
