NO show that replaces Moonlight will EVER win it’s time slot!
Sorry Coo-Coo, but it did.
Twice now.
Still really miss Moonlight – Friday night is a bust now……….
Sandy- Swingtown is not winning its “slot” (so to speak). It is not even on this list.
When you compare Moonlight's ratings to this list, Moonlight held up really well, compared to Swingtown, which didn't even make the list, even though CBS has been promoting it heavily.
If Moonlight had been switched to Wednesday or Thursday, like Flashpoint, out numbers would have gone up, and it would have given the 19-49 year olds a chance to decide it they liked it or not. Since that demographic goes out to parties, clubs and movies on Friday nights, of course they weren't watching Moonlight!
The only way to know for sure is to test Moonlight on a mid-week night.
But the execs are so prejudiced against Moonlight, they are not willing to give it a fighting chance, the way they bent over backwards to promote Swingtown.
Sandy- Swingtown is not winning its “slot” (so to speak). It is not even on this list.
I still really miss my favorite show, Moonlight!
So great, so short-lived and so LOVED across the world.
