randallr.Nov 3, 2007I really love this tv show. It's unique and a fresh look at an old subject.
-
-
CindyG.Nov 9, 2007This show is freakin' awesome!!!! And, Mick St. John is so freakin' hot I can hardly stand it!!! I really hope the series continues for many years!!!
-
-
KelleyS.Jan 5, 2008I watch only one show a week and this is it!!!! Without Moonlight, there is really nothing for me to watch on tv. Keep it coming!
-
-
CarlosS.Nov 10, 2007The fourth episode was my first and it was great! Watched it twice in three hours trying to figure out Coraline. How did she come back and become human. What a dangerous character and Beth must be the most beautiful woman on TV. Sure hope Moonlight sticks around....

-
georgeh.Oct 1, 2007Loved it! That dude is one sexy vampire, too!
-
-
ChristyV.Nov 5, 2007This show is lots of fun and Alex O'Loughlin is a very charismatic lead. The writing gets better with each episode and I enjoy watching and re-watching it. There are so many subtle line readings and facial expressions, that you pretty much HAVE to watch the show over and over again.

JamesN.Nov 5, 2007I've been watching Vamp shows for over two decades...this one won't make it. It's already given away most of it's secrets, and those that remain are pretty guessable. They should have made him older, and given a REAL reason for him to be trying to be 'good'...then they should have kept his 'secret' at least to the end of the first season!

-
FoxM.Oct 20, 2007The show is an unexpected surprise. My family all love the show and we watch every episode. We even went back watched a couple episdes we missed on innertube. I hope the show makes it as I really enjoy it.
-
-
TheresaS.Dec 13, 2007What people don't understand is that Moonlight has brought the "Bella Lagosi" vamire into the 21st Century......

-
AnitaE.Oct 22, 2007I absolutely LOVE this show. Love the new twist on a vampire theme that I've watched ever since I was a kid (I'm 50). Love him, love her. Love the back-stories and the current predicaments. Keep this show going!!!!!!!
-
-
GloriaM.Dec 4, 2007I love it, love it, love it, love it, love it. Makes Friday nights worth waiting for. Hope it stays on a long time. The chemistry between Mick and Beth is to die for. Literally.

ShawnaG.Oct 30, 2007This show is my favorite show in years. The writing is wonderful; lots of subtle wit. The actors are savory and I just get giddy after some scenes because they have been so well done. I used to never watch TV on Fridays, and now it is the night I most look forward to!

bonniem.Oct 4, 2007Pretty disappointed in it. I was hoping for something more edgy and less cheesy. I'll give it one more show before I decide to go elsewhere.
-
-
JenniferR.Oct 6, 2007Although it is not the best show on tv, it has potential. The question is how they develop the storyline. I think it has a good time slot by noth having anything really competing with its genre, so hopefully the writers can keep it interesting. Definate babe potential
-
-
RobW.Oct 6, 2007O'Louglin is not at all charismatic and the dialogue is so bad it makes you cringe.
-
-
DerekP.Oct 6, 2007Not very engaging. Pretty good special effects and cinematography.

JoshuaOct 8, 2007And you thought "Forever Night" was bad? "Moonlight" plays like a Z-Grade horror/romance/soap opera with not even any redeeming T&A - a la "Baywatch Nights".
-
-
janett.Sep 30, 2007Just awful. The only redeeming quality is Jason Dohring. Completely derivative of much better shows (Angel, Forever Knight).
-

ElisaW.Jan 5, 2008Great show to get lost in on a Friday night!

AmandaF.Feb 8, 2008I love this show and I haven't missed one since it has started. it is about vampires and also because it reminds me of a book my sister and i read it is called twilight by Stephenie Meyer the reason I love this show is because it has action, horror, and romance.
-
-
LakenHFeb 8, 2008I love Moonlight! It better not get discontinued. Critics don't know what they are saying, they always rate good shows as bad. I love the storyline and how the characters are. I never watch T.V. only Moonlight. I can't wait to watch it tonight, I look forward to Fridays.

JulieW.Sep 6, 2008Its a shame to hear you've taken this show off the air. I hope cbs changes its mind. I find a lot of these stations are removing the better shows and aiming there sites for a younger viewer. Shame, shame, shame. What about the older viewers do you think we want to continue to watch crap that is on the air. We are your biggest viewers.
-
-
shirleyt.Nov 12, 2007I am 40 years old and want to say that i love this show....i dont care what the critics say because we all have our opinions and they dont know more than anyone else!....great show and a nice change from alot of the "dumb" sitcoms
-
-
EmilyR.Oct 1, 2007Alex O'Loughlin is charismatic. So is Jason Dohring. The story was absorbing and exciting. I can't understand why this is getting such bad reviews.
-
-
helenc.Nov 12, 2007Ignore the critics, watch the show! I dont care what the critics believe they know....it DOESNT MATTER....some group of people that give their opinion...big deal....love the show and hope it stays!
-
-
FranNov 12, 2007Awesome! It is great to watch a show that is good, not just gory. Alex is very sexy/sensitive and Sophia is great also. The show compares to Beauty & the Beast with Ron Perlman 18 years ago. Please don't take this one off the air.
-
-
KWOct 1, 2007Not as horrible as I thought. it would be. I wanted to hate it but it was a little better than I expected, considering that this was done in the 1990s and called "Forever Knight."
-
-
tammyNov 15, 2007i love the show, love his smile and the story line is great i hope you keep this show around a long time
-
-
MaryKateD.Nov 10, 2007I LOVE this show, and ever since it has premired, I've lived for Friday nights. Whoever said that there's no chemistry between Mick and Beth is just stupid!
-
-
ChrisE.Nov 1, 2007I love this show. It is the first show that comes on Friday night that has been able to keep my attention in years!
-
-
DeniseW.Nov 2, 2007Love it - I very very rarely listen or agree with the critics. I really hope CBS keeps this one around. It keeps getting better each week.

JPOct 12, 2007Wow this is bad. I haven't been this embarrassed for a cast since Caddyshack 2. Everything that this show is missing can be seen on TNT everyday on a show call ANGEL. The lead cant hold a candle to David Boreanz and it takes it self too serious. I really hope they drop this show fast. Just Awful.
-
-
GeorgeH.Nov 27, 2007Moonlight is fun, escapism, entertainment. One hour a week. out of my life, but not my life! Critics, obviously, have to justify their existence, plus paychecks, somehow!
-
-
DrLouiseNov 20, 2007It's really one of the best shows I seen in a few years. What do the critics want us to watch plain vanilla drama/ crime shows? Duh I think there are enough of them already.. Most have miss the mark on this show.
-
-
SkyBeingNov 30, 2007Love lead characters, sexual tension between them....reminds me of 1988 Beauty & the Beast!
-
-
KFensterOct 13, 2007While Moonlight is not the best show on television by any means, it's a satisfying guilty pleasure likely a trashy romance novel...which is just fine if you are going to be home on a Friday night anyway. Hopefully, the writers will get more comfortable over time and start exploring the relationships with a little more depth.
-
-
TraceyBarrettOct 14, 2007Come on people...watch the show...its a great show. Well worth the time to watch!
-
-
TashaWallsOct 14, 2007I love Moonlight! There are great character dynamics and I can't wait to see the developing relationship between Mick and Beth play out. I am also intrigued by Mick's past and the back story with Josef and Coraline. This show deserves a chance...It just keeps getting better and better!

TaraN.Nov 6, 2007The chemistry is unbelievable between Mick and Sophia!!!!!!!! I have never liked any previous "vampire" shows, such as, Angel, Buffy, etc...This show is very, very different, and can't miss an episode!!!
-
-
lauraR.Oct 16, 2007I love this show. I see lots of chemistry between the two actors and the stories keep getting better and better. It's my favorite so far of all the new Fall shows.
-
-
SamanthaP.Nov 6, 2007Absolutely Love Moonlight!! This is one of the few new shows I actually enjoy watching every week. Just hoping CBS keeps it going.
-
-
janineNov 6, 2007Every week I watch this show and think to myself, "I really hope they don't cancel this." The chemistry Beth and Mick have is terrific, much better than most shows, and I watch a lot of freaking television! Don't cancel...and more info on the music please!

LeslieB.Oct 21, 2007This is my favorite new show! I absolutely love it despite what the critics say. Alex O'Loughlin is a delight to watch and the scripts provide wish fulfillment with a strong but vulnerable man.
-
-
DeniseTOct 20, 2007I absolutely loved this new show! I'm telling all my friends and family about it. Alex O'Loughlin is the new hottie on t.v. right now.
-
-
AparecidaG.Dec 16, 2007The best criative show. And the best business case in years.
-

BrittanyC.Oct 20, 2007I absolutely love this show, and last night was awsome though i almost cryed when the cool vamire guy was about to die ... its good thing he had his friend beth to save him..

JustinDec 20, 2007Critics don't have a clue what's good but the fans do. This is a great show.

M.J.Oct 20, 2007I was sick of watching stupid shows on the TV this is by far the best show on right now. I don't know what hole this critic lives in.
-
-
JamieA.Dec 4, 2007This show is putting a wonderful spin on an old story & the actors are wonderful. The stories writers seem to really rope in people interest. I love it!
-
-
rachell.Oct 26, 2007i have fallen in love with these characters and the humor, angst and new twist with vampires in the sunlight makes it interesting and fun to watch.
-

JodiOct 26, 2007Great show...has become one of my favorites. I hope they don't cancel.
-
-
KathyDec 7, 2007I wasn't that crazy about the show but then found myself thinking about it all the time! thats how i know I'm reading a good book too!
-
-
tinah.Oct 28, 2007great show + great theme
-
-
JimJOct 28, 2007This is now my favorite show. The virtuous vampire is a great premise. I like the blend of the film-noir PI and modern issues & technology. Beth is adorable, spunky, and charming. She makes an excellent sidekick for any action hero. The story is well paced but I hope the writing gets tighter so that events unfold more logically.
-
-
JessicaC.Oct 28, 2007I love this show. Love the film Noir style, the costumes the set the makeup and most of all the actors and story. The romance is sizzling and classic at the same time. Please give this show another chance.
-
-
DB.Oct 28, 2007I love this show and can't wait to see it every Fri. It started out just ok but every week it has gotten better and better. The leads are sexy and the story is fun and exciting. love it love it love it!!!!
-
-
TheresaOct 30, 2007I think whoever compared it to Angel needs to do a little more research. I loved Angel but of course only because of the way he looked, lest be honest, it didn't have much substance. This show does. It appeals on a much more mature level and it has good story lines.
-
-
LonH.Oct 30, 2007This show ROCKS! I hope CBS picks it up for a full season, as it gets better with every episode. Makes it hard to wait for another Friday to roll around. Great casting.
-
-
AngiejOct 30, 2007Amazing show, love it and the characters! Finally a show that isn't reality.
-
-
sp.Oct 4, 2007Has a lot of potential - the first episode could have been improved - the dialogue needed help - however if you liked Beauty and the Beast - you will like this - keep it on the dark and romantic side - but address current issues as well.
-
-
ShazuthD.Oct 5, 2007It's all been done before, but not always this badly. Don't waste your time; there are reruns of Fresh Prince running continuously somewhere.
-
-
JohnC.Oct 5, 2007Meets of exceeds CBS DreckTM Specifications: Great looking cast. Check. Mise en scène straight from CSI TV family: Check. Requisite emo tune played over slow mo cuts and montage during final five minutes: Check. Script by committee: Check.

BonnieSep 30, 2007Moonlight is Delicious!! Mick St. John had me at the Interview.
-
-
JefW.Sep 30, 2007Much as it did with Jericho, CBS starts out with promising material but falls short due to poor execution, writing and delivery. Thank god NBC did not use the CBS playbook with Heroes.
-
-
LoriT.Sep 30, 2007I didn't even finish watching it because it was so cliched. It took the noir detective story and did absolutely nothing new with it. Very much with the melodrama, monologues, and staring off into the distance shots. (Along with the ripping off of Angel).
-
-
DanielleB.Jan 12, 2008I'm hooked and can't wait to see what will come next....Now, Friday night's t.v. got a lot more interresting!! Alex O can definitively carries trhough his feelings..the actors are superb!!!

LindaG.Jan 6, 2008I found this show to be great. It is something out of the ordinary, something to take your mind off of your everyday worries.
-
-
AlexanderJ.Feb 6, 2008I had trouble deciding which was worse, the acting or the writing. At one point in watching I thought the show would be improved y replacing most of the actor
-
-
MOMar 1, 2008I didn't like the first episode, but I gave it a second try and I liked each one thereafter a little more. It is a fun show to watch that is without all of the intensity of some of the other "thinkers" out there. I think Moonlight is a great finish to a long week. I hope that more people give it a chance as I did...I think they would find it to be good entertainment.
-
-
kylegMar 10, 2008This show is alright, but not great. That's probably because I'm not a woman and I'm not attracted to the lead character. It seems like a ton of women love this show...even my mom.
-
-
PegC.Mar 2, 2008Love this show, it is sophisticated and intelligent.
-
-
RichoTBMar 7, 2008Its not on par with Buffy or Angel, but its definitely the best paranormal show on television currently...excluding Supernatural of course. Definitely worth keeping around for another 5 seasons
-
-
BunnyF.Mar 9, 2008I am a single mom of 9 and you can imagine how ready I am on a Friday night to kick my shoes off and drift into Mick St. John's world... What a way to escape, it's about time CBS found a good show!
-
-
WillS.Apr 15, 2008CBS would be crazy to replace this program. It's Slick, and has a whole new and fresh take on the Vampire story. And women of all ages love the sexual tension between the main characters. STUPID IF THEY CANCEL.
-
-
KimM.Jun 4, 2008every member in my family watched the show. the chemistry between the characters is amazing to say the least. cbs has canceled without any of hope of it returning to the network. too bad. i just canceled cbs!
-
-
PeggyL.Aug 20, 2008I see that this program has been replaced for the 2008 fall season. Why? This program is awesome. Alex is smokin hot!!!(Mick) And the storyline is believable modern day!

HalE.Jan 26, 2009a fantastic show which added a new spin on vampirism, didn't deserve cancellation at all.
-
-
malissah.Nov 10, 2007This show is the best new show on cbs right now and hope they keep it
-
-
CarolineNov 12, 2007My daughter and I love this show. It's the best on Friday nights!
-
-
roseg.Nov 13, 2007Love this show, didn't really like Buffy or Angel that much ( although I did watch) but at my age (mid 30's) it was hard to relate....but this show is modern and easy for an audience to connect to.
-
-
leilar.Nov 13, 2007Love the show! The critics never get it right. Ignore them and listen to the people who are buying the stuff from the commercials....we are who you need to impress
-
-
JenniferC.Nov 14, 2007I love this show! Its like action and romance! And it does help that Alex is extremely good looking! Even my 60 year old mother watches it whos not into vampires or anything like that think its cause of Alex!
-
-
peterd.Nov 16, 2007I enjoy the chemistry between Beth and Mick. Both are gorgeous, and each longs to be in the other's world. The music is great, too including "Taking Chances" in the promos. Maybe it's not Citizen Kane, but it's good entertainment. More Roger Ebert than Gene Siskel.
-
-
KathyM.Nov 10, 2007This show has real chemistry!! I love it!
-
-
CatNov 16, 2007I think this show is a hit. The story line is understandable and exciting. I think Alex is very handsome. Should make this show a permanent addition to Friday nights.
-
-
KevinL.Oct 1, 2007The first episode is pretty boring. But the premise is pretty interesting and Jason Dohring is good.
-
Awards & Rankings
-
[Mick and Beth's] across-the-decades bond, however, doesn't compensate for how pedestrian the initial story is -- playing like a conventional detective show, with Mick showcasing his otherworldly powers (strong, and very, very fast) only during a passable action sequence in the final act.
-
The focus is on the dangerous and forbidden relationship between Mick and Beth and his efforts to keep his past a secret. Whether there's enough material there to knit together a series remains to be seen.
-
Moonlight is just a weak, generic private-eye drama with a vampire story overlay.
