A stake through the heart for 'Moonlight'

Now we know -- even blood isn't enough to satisfy Les Moonves and his rapacious CBS henchpersons. For a couple of months now, fans of the vampire-detective drama Moonlight have been donating thousands of pints of their own blood in an effort to convince CBS to keep the show for another season. (They were sending to the Red Cross rather than directly to Moonves, which might have worked better.) On Tuesday, CBS swung the axe anyway, canceling Moonlight on the eve of the network's upfront ceremony in New York. A couple of sitcoms on the ratings bubble, How I Met Your Mother and The New Adventures Of Old Christine, were renewed, which makes you wonder what those fans did for CBS. Donate their eyeballs and kidneys?

I know we're all disappointed, but I still think Moonlight could come back in some form, even if not for a regular season. Fans should not give up!
