CBS still pimping Alex O'Loughlin (not that we're complaining)

Aug 15, 2008, 10:56 AM | by Mandi Bierly

Categories: Deals, Inappropriate Crushes, Television

The ladies have spoken, and CBS has heard us them. The network has signed a one-year holding deal with Moonlight star Alex O'Loughlin — with the hope of him starring in a new show to be developed by Mark Gordon (Desperate Housewives, Army Wives). No further details were given about the new series, so feel free to pitch Gordon ideas in the comments section. After you watch the video below, that is.

Well, here it is almost the end of november 2008 & where's Alex on CBS? They've had him in a holding pattern since July'08. Meantime, Twilight's breaking box offive records, The Movie Australia with Aussies Hugh Jackman & Nichol Kidman will be out soon, True Blood's a hit & renewed & Aussie Simon Baker has a big hit (18 mil audience rating) on CBS in The Mentalist. Gee...do you think CBS made a GIANT mistake canceling Moonlight & the most talented, smokin' hot Aussie actor of them all...ALEX?
I grind my teeth every time I see these other successes that can't hold a candle to Alex! When does this once in a life time actor get the breaks & recognition he (& we fans) deserve? Somebody get this man out there to the public...someday he will be a megastar!

I really enjoyed MOONLIGHT could not wait to see it each week. If I could not be home, I taped it. Mick and Beth had such great chemistry,I hope they come back in another mystery. I would LOVE to see MOONLIGHT come back with the same actors as they had I think they had a winner and did not know it...Bring them all back very soon.I do not enjoy the new shows. The only enjoy Dexter.

micksvampira Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 01:26 AM EST

I am really happy for Alex-I just wish that CBS would see what they had, one of the greatest shows on tv with Moonlight.
The whole cast & storyline was the best, I just cannot understand how they think. Please bring it back so we have something GREAT to watch!!!

khadine Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 01:01 PM EST

moonlight came out on my b-day and miss that show i hope that it can come back please.

maria Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 07:19 AM EST

Really enjoyed watching the few episodes of Moonlight shown in Australia. It's a shame they didn't air all of Season 1 and it's a real shame that there will be no Season 2 cos I would love to know what happens between Mick and Beth.

Patty Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 06:38 PM EST

VOTE FOR MOONLIGHT AT (TVDRAMAS.ABOUT.COM)WE ARE LOSING TO OCTOBER ROAD AND JERICHO VERY QUICKLY!!!

Patty Sun, Sep 28, 2008 at 06:37 PM EST

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE NEW SHOW TRUE BLOOD ON HBO AND I MUST SAY IT IS GOOD BUT NOT GREAT LIKE MOONLIGHT!THE CHEMISTRY IS NOT MICKBETH!CBS REALLY BLEW IT!!!

Joy Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 09:14 PM EST

Eh--have seen a few of the new shows aired already and trailers for others for this season -- nothing can hold a candle to Moonlight. They just
>didn't give it a fair chance -- it was sooooooooooooooo much better than any of the new shows and a lot of the older shows...different story, sexy, dramatic, romantic, good acting which
>was getting better and better as it went along its short stay. TV is dying dying dying thanks to inept tv execs. Sure do hope they do put out the DVD of the show -- all I'm anging onto are a few videos here and there that I've managed to put together. What a grave mistake CBS made -- no
matter what they put Alex in, it won't be the same as Moonlight. I'll watch if he's in it because he's a really good actor and easy on the eyes but it won't be as different. Oh well .... had my say .. again.

shArie Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 10:20 AM EST

hi
iam from germany.. and we all love MOONLIGHT here.. the quotes are so good.. i we here in germany dont understand the end of moonlight.. pls make a seccond sesson...

bye bye from GERMANY...

digitalgram Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 03:11 PM EST

I too want to see more of Moonlight, and I am a 66 year old lady. From all the complaints I have heard here in our small mountain community, I am not the only one disappointed that it was cancelled! Please Bring it back.

marsha Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 09:11 AM EST

bring moomlight back it was a great show nothing to watch on fri.nites anymore .every time there is a good show you take off .take off these dumb shows that have cartoon characters and are something kids should not watch anyways they are really nasty . bring moonlight back...

SouthPaw Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 11:05 AM EST

BRING IT BACK! Bring it back WITH ALEX as Mick! I, too, am boycotting CBS. You know what? All the folks who loved the show and who want it back don't give a hoot if it's on CBS. If there's any cable tv development guru reading this, please pick up MOONLIGHT and continue the storyline with all the same actors. I have cable, I don't care which channel number I have to turn to in order to watch it. Down with CBS. Who wants to give it a go--USA? FX? TBS? SciFi? ABC Family? Oxygen? Clearly you won't have to worry about viewership! I imagine the actors would prefer to be broadcast on one of the major networks but at least you'd still have a steady income.

What did "Moonlight" give us that we loved so much? I think most of the fans tuned in for the storyline, Noir style and VO’s, the chemistry of all the actors and the possible future stories. People have even commented on how beautiful our city looked. The whole premise of this program was a modern day vampire story, missing many of the gimmicks of the genre in general. This was much more than a vampire cult show. All the actors brought their characters to life. Each and every one of them brought something special to their part, actually breathing life into their roles. This is not just about Alex though he played Mick to perfection. The show was amazing! I think that the support for the show has been seriously underestimated. It was entertaining, romantic, deep, dramatic and comedic; everything a viewer could want. People invested their hearts, time and even their blood. How many shows inspire that much feeling?

MichaelC2B Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 06:23 AM EST

I love Alex - truly the most talented actor I have ever seen. This man is not only gorgeous, he is an Oscar waiting to happen. I will follow his career and watch whatever Alex does - the man can do no wrong on film. Moonlight is evidence of that, as well as every movie he has made. I know - after ML, I made it a point to get every DVD - FEED, Oyster Farmer & Mary Bryant, just to name a few; the man is a genius. I find it to be absurd that CBS had the best show on television - EVER - and they cancelled it with no logical explanation. I just don't understand why some reporter hasn't jumped on this story - someone needs to dig deep and not stop at the ridiculous excuses and lies given by CBS. After a blood drive and a long and faithful campaign to try to save this beloved show, we still have not been able to even find out why it was cancelled. Yes, I will watch Alex anywhere - but why not just give us what we want? Fans all over the world just want Moonlight back. Why not make us happy?

Stas Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 11:52 AM EST

Thanks to Moonlight, I'm an Alex fan, but I loved Moonlight for much more than Alex. And based on CBS's choices for the fall lineup, I have my doubts as to whether they'd do him justice. I can only hope his creative input leads to some improvements there.

Marsha Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 01:56 PM EST

I used to look forward to Fri night all day at work; then i got really depressed about the cancellation. It was the best show on TV, really. I am 60ish, so not a kid and have had favs in the past, but this show had all the elements; romance, great tongue in cheek humor, pathos, action; it was just great! Please please bring it back; not too late to admit that the viewers are many and that the show, given a chance would be a winner for the network. This is an odd time to cancel, anyway, with Twighlight etc. PLEASE bring back the show so many love.

Hopeful Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 04:04 PM EST

I love Alex and all the cast of "Moonlight" and not being able to watch it any more really makes it hard to watch any CBS shows anymore,sorry Nina."Moonlight" was the best TV show of the 2007 Lineup and cancelling it had to be a BIG BIG BOO BOO and I guess you would not admit it. W are all human and do make mistakes sometimes all would be forgiven if "Moonlight came back for a 2nd season but I saw the fall lineup for 2008 and "Moonlight was not listed.Alex was so wonderful as Mick StJohn' so hunble. caring and loving I hope he has that same type person in a new series. I think he is really like that in his personal life , that the way I see him. hope I'm right. signed Hopeful

Carla Tue, Sep 9, 2008 at 04:25 PM EST

I am still boycotting CBS. I have not watched the network since the cancellation of Moonlight nor do I intend to watch again. Unless of course, Moonlight is on again!

Pam Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 10:26 PM EST

No, CBS didn't listen. We wanted Moonlight Season 2! I wish Alex all the best, but I'm afraid "all the best" won't have anything to do with a network that doesn't care about it's own viewers. I used to be a couch potato but CBS has cured me of that. I'm reading more and Netflix is my new best friend.

Kim Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 08:07 PM EST

Bring Moonlight back!!!! I loved that show. Now I have nothing to watch. I guess I'll find my way to the library.

Cat Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 05:00 PM EST

While I'm happy CBS had sense enough to hang on to Alex, the notion that all the Moonlight fans watched the show because of him is silly. With all due respect to Alex, he was virtually unknown when he was cast. We found him because of Moonlight, not the other way around. He certainly has my attention now, and I'll continue to follow his career but I watched Moonlight first because I was hoping for a cool vampire show (and I got one). Alex was the frosting on the proverbial cake.

i'm all for alex, because he really is hot..but i still want the series Moonlight to came back, it's one of the factors that made him even more appealing.

patty martin Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 06:42 AM EST

Keep on emailing nina.tassler@cbs.com to let her know it's not just about Alex but about the whole show!We want Moonlight back!Don't forget your feedback on CBS website at the bottom of their screen about Moonlight!

Anita Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 12:23 PM EST

The "powers that be" didn't listen to the viewers. If they had they would have kept the show, it was a People's Choice winner for crying out loud!!! That doesn't mean we just liked Alex (although he's great), we liked ALL of them! We liked the whole case, the story-line, the writing, the characters.

So no, "the powers that be" did not listen to US.

I'm glad Alex has been signed, and I'll be interested to see what they put him in as I am a fan, but they make a really bad/stupid move by canceling such a great show!

annn Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 09:52 AM EST

Please bring it back!

annn Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 09:51 AM EST

Please bring it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robyn Renee' Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 05:59 PM EST

Thank YOU CBS for Saving Alex!!!
___________________________________
He is a wonderful Young Actor and NOW is his Time to Shine!! "Really did Love Moonlight...it was a beautiful Love story plus comradely among Vamps!! All of the Actors Chemistry Worked!!

But Saving Alex is such a relief..looking forward to seeing him in his Next Gig!!!

Heidi Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 03:44 PM EST

Well this show has everything for me. I can look and watch Alex 24/7 He is the ultimate man from head to toe to Clef. I need to see him more often Keeps me on my toes.

Kathy Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 03:22 PM EST

Moonlight has all the necessities of life:love, intrigue, loyalty, the fight against evil, the actor/
actresses have the right stuff for getting through to all ages. It is a shame TV where TV entertainment as gone. and one last question: Does Mick, Beth and Josef want to continue??? I hope so. Love to all.

Canal175 Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 01:33 PM EST

Great video. I miss Moonlight...I miss Mick, Beth and Josef. Nice that you signed Alex to a contract but I'm still pissed at you for cancelling the show.

Janice Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 09:48 AM EST

Of course I'm glad to know he's continuing on, BUT MOONLIGHT ROCKED, bring it back...syndicate it and keep on going. What a sad loss and NO, the powers that be didn't listen to the viewers. Imagine that.

Patty Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 08:00 PM EST

That video makes me want Moonlight all the More!Come on Nina Tassler the "new" show had better be Moonlight!!!What were you thinking taking this off the air!!??

Nancy Williams Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:41 AM EST

While I totally appreciate that CBS is holding on to Alex for the time being, I truly resent the fact that they failed to listen to our thoughts and feelings when they decided to cancel Moonlight! I am a 57 year old grandmother and my 13 year old granddaughter and I could hardly wait until the next episode of Moonlight! We loved the story; we loved the ongoing relationship between Mick & Beth; we loved Josef! We just loved every single thing about the show! It was made with class. It was our favorite! Oh, we have other shows that we like but that was just the absolute BEST ever in our opinion. We are NOT happy that CBS decided to cancel it! We think they are totally STUPID! If you were to go to any video store and note how many people rent those types of movies (vampires)then you would see that it had to be very worthwhile to keep a show of that genre on TV! There are several shows on CBS that we like to watch, but we will definitely consider boycotting CBS for this STUPID stunt!

MickBethmuse Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 10:26 PM EST

While Alex is a great actor, no doubt, so were the other cast members of Moonlight. I watched the show for the storyline and the chemistry between Mick and Beth. Jason D, Jason V, David B. and Shannen S. were all part of the Moonlight package.

alicefaz Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 08:10 PM EST

Can't wait for his return.Action and adventure type roles in which he can show off his martial arts skills. Love the way he fights,very artistics.

Mary Chlipala Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 07:47 PM EST

Alex is great, wonderful actor. It will be good to see whatever he does next. But does CBS understand that the 8 million people who watched Moonlight liked the story line, the interaction between all the charactors, everything about it. My mom is 75, my daughters are 27, I'm 52 those are some age spans with great marketing clout. What were they thinking. By the way my husband watched it every Friday with us.

Sue Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 06:48 PM EST

I think it's fabulous that CBS has Alex O'Loughlin sticking around. They certainly made a huge mistake in cancelling Moonlight. I think Ms. Tassler saw the err of her ways and got everybody's favorite vampire back tout de suite. I personally have not allowed CBS on in my home since the cancellation of Moonlight. I just hope that Alex O'Loughlin doesn't come back to our tv screens in some lame CSI-ish junk that CBS likes to churn out. Moonlight fans will be watching!

MoonlightChances Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 06:24 PM EST

Thank you for posting the video. It truly is my favorite fanvid for Moonlight.

Congratulations to Alex ! He is very talented, and I'm happy to hear that he has the holding deal. Am looking forward to any new movies, but would love to see him back on network TV weekly.

I love Moonlight, saw every episode, and loved them all. It should have run for YEARS like Highlander The TV series, and brought joy to fans of speculative fantasy.

I caught a vid recently that showed Nina Tassler acknowledging Moonlight fans.

She still didn't thank us for showing up every week to help her network win the hour, but she must have realized that she was being insulting to us in past remarks by dismissing us as squeeing fangirls.

That certainly was undeserved based on our efforts to promote the show all season, and our charitable campaigns.

CBS took us for granted, cancelled our show, and never bothered to thank us for watching every week.

It is going to be an interesting fall season.

SEPTBDAY Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 05:35 PM EST

Congrats to Alex. I think Nina is covering her A**. BRING MOONLIGHT BACK.

Vicki Sun, Aug 17, 2008 at 06:11 PM EST

Whatever Alex O'Loughlin decides to do in his career, I am certain that his 8 million plus former Moonlight fans will follow him. I, myself, find Alex a very talented and handsome actor. A rare combination to have talent and good looks and he has a certain humbleness about him. He seems to appreciate all his good fortune and hasn't let it go to his head. I'm sure, whatever success Alex finds in his career, he will appreciate his good fortune and not forget his humble beginnings. I wish him much success in Hollywood and I hope he stays the same sweet, kind man he appears to be in his interviews.

Katerina Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 10:11 PM EST

I agree with dsa88. Alex O'Loughlin is a wonderful actor. To me, the show would not have been what it was without Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring and all those other wonderful actors that contributed their talents to the show. Moonlight appealed to me not only because of Alex O'Loughlin. It was because of all that great chemistry that all the actors had between each other. Also, the story attracted my attention. I personally think that CBS should have given this show at least another year. Eight million viewers is not bad considering there are other shows still running with less viewers. I hope that someone reconsiders the decision that was made. Sincerely, Katerina

Meredith44 Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 02:56 PM EST

I have to respectfully disagree with a good portion of you other Moonlight fans. I was definitely a fan of the show. I watched it every week, donated blood in the organized drives, and bought a T-shirt in support, but, honestly? The stories weren't all that great in the beginning.n (In fact, one of the early episodes was so horrible that I almost stopped watching.)

The show found its footing and was pretty good at times, but I so watched mostly for Alex, not for the stories or other actors. (I found Sophia Myles/Beth to be particularly weak.)

So, while I will probably buy Moonlight on DVD, I am actually very interested to see what Alex's next project might be. Assuming it is not a cookie-cutter crime procedural, but actually something interesting, I'll definitely check it out.

kristie Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 11:24 AM EST

does anyone know when the season 1 boxed set is coming out?

kristie Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 11:19 AM EST

I'm waiting for the box set to come out. I was a latecomer to Moonlight, but I was hooked while flipping through the channels one night. You want to know how a good a show this was??! I did not answer my phone while it was on: I put my kids to bed early: I ignored my husband for an entire hour. That's how good it was.

Alex is a sexy man, and Jason is as well. I heard he was going to Brothers and Sisters. If he is, maybe I'll watch that show. Never watched it before, but if he's on it, I'll give it a try. And of course, I'll watch anything with Alex.

joanie Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 08:43 AM EST

Now CBS has him back again, they can give us the grand operatic conclusion that the MickBeth romance deserves. It was too good to just close a door on.

dsa88 Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 08:18 AM EST

A "one year talent holding deal"? As charismatic and talented as Alex O'Loughlin is and keeping that aside for the moment, The cancellation and now this has to be one of the worst business decisions CBS has made in a long time. It will take Gordon & CBS money & months to write, develop, produce, cast and shoot "a guess".
IT WAS THE STORY, YOU FOOLS. With one of the best chemistry acting groups on TV.
Why not, CBS, take all of those dollars, work around the other actors job scheds and get them back to, at least, produce a quarterly series of Moonlight 2 hr shows to continue the great story 8 million people were riveted to? There's no guess, no start up development, and a possible regaining windfall for profits on the now coattails of Twilight, True Blood etc.
I repeat kudos to Munson, Alex, Sophia, Jason & entire crew and cast for one of the most interesting and beautiful stories in a long time.
IT WAS THE STORY ENHANCED BY GREAT ACTORS, YOU FOOLS.
Respectfully, dsa88

kelcouch Sat, Aug 16, 2008 at 01:34 AM EST

Ok, so I'm not sure exactly how this 'talent holding deal' thing works, but it seems to me that CBS can put Alex in any show they choose to for the next year. That being said, do you think CBS could be holding onto Alex to see how their new fall shows do and also what kind of ratings all the new vampire shows get on the other networks, that way if they want Moonlight for a mid-season replacement he will be available (if they haven't already placed him in another project).

I know I'm reaching... but I have to hold onto at least a little bit of hope!

Kel :)

allison Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 11:46 PM EST

i'd like to say alex who but that would be a lie. I started moonlight because it was a great premise and lived up to the hype well. Then bonus, Alex. I am disappointed that the show was canceled and distressed that I have to find a new show that caters to the darker side of life. I do hope the new Alex show is enough to keep us interested. No matter how good looking and talented the actor bad tv is still bad tv.

Krystal Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 11:22 PM EST

I am so mad at CBS.. how could they take moonlight away? I am however happy that alex will be on TV again because he was a wonderful actor and let's face it.. he is HOT! but i will missing seeing him as mick st. john every week! CBS had a great friday night line up with ghost whisperer and moonlight.. so i'm curious to see what they will do with a new series. Unfortunately if he's on a new show it means we won't be seeing a revival of the show on a new network.. but i refuse to give up all hope yet!!

cheree croft Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 08:43 PM EST

I am very disappointed that Moonlight got cancelled this was a wonderful friday night show, the actors were wonderful in their parts and having you want more the next week, we couldn't wait until the next moonlight, CBS is making a very big mistake in cancelling this show, and I like others cannot wait for the series to come to DVD so I can add to my collection.

patty Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 07:24 PM EST

I am happy that Alex will be on again but on at CBS?Yuk!Nina Tassler thinks we only want Alex(we do)but we want the whole cast of Moonlight stupid woman!She must realize that fans will come back to her stupid network with Alex on.We only want MOONLIGHT!

phinney Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 07:10 PM EST

Hallelujah...but "pimping", really CBS, seems like there would be no need to 'pimp' Mr. O'Loughlin??? He is talented, versatile and appears to have a great sense of humor & self. What network wouldn't be gifted with someone like him. Unfortunately, it has to be CBS to be blessed with all his abilities. Maybe this time they'll get it right. Still...missing our dear, Mick St. John!!!

Melinda65 Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 05:45 PM EST

CBS really doesn't get it. Yes, we Moonlight fans like AOL, but we also liked Mick and Beth and Josef (and, obviously, Sophia and Jason. And David Blue.) We're not so shallow that we'll watch Alex in any piece of crap that gets put on the air...okay, wait, maybe we are. The thing is, we won't necessarily LIKE it.

I want Alex back on the air, but I want him back with Sophia and Jason (and David) in "Moonlight." Take care of that, CBS, and we'll talk.

MsFangFan Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 05:23 PM EST

I think this is the only way CBS is going to get back some of the 7 or 8 MILLION Moonlight fans who swore never to watch anything on that network ever again, after the shabby way Alex, Moonlight, and the fans were treated by the unseeing Eye. In fact, this whole CBS/Moonlight business has left such a bad taste, I don't even want to watch network TV anymore - thank goodness for Netflix! Not going to watch any new series - don't want to have my heart broken again. And kudos to the fans who make all those wonderful fan-videos at YouTube! Although CBS's EyeLab team did some very fun things to for the fans - I don't include them in my condemnation of CBS. Thanks for the news. We'll see what kind of cr*p show they come up with for Alex.

Greeneyes279 Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 04:47 PM EST

That is good news for Alex & I'm very glad for him.

The sad part is CBS already had him in a hit series & they were too blind to see it. Yes, we loved Alex as Mick St John. For goodness sake! He created the Mick St John character we all love! We also love Sophia and Jason - they breathed life into their endearing characters. We love Moonlight the show &everything about it! I am so frustrated over trying to understand why Ms. Tassler has trouble understanding that we love Alex in the role of Mick St John on Moonlight AND everyone else associated with the show.

If Alex is in another show, I will watch because I do want to support him. Hopefully it will be a show that really works for him and showcases his talent and not CBS trying to mold him into a role that matches their "CSI" family.

Like many others, I am eagerly waiting for the 16 episodes of Moonlight to come out on DVD. Moonlight fans are hoping we get at least a Moonlight movie. There is much more of the story to tell.

Toni Thompson Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 03:23 PM EST

Wnen CBS cancelled "MOonlight", I swore I would boycott the network forever. Thanks for the chance to see Alex in a TV show again. I will be tuning in.

Rita Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 02:42 PM EST

Okay, that is fine, but I am not done seeing Alex as a vampire. Moonlight has too many ideas to be explored for it not to continue. Moonlight is the show I want to see more of. I want to see more of the Moonlight Characters. What about the other actors I want to see more Josef and Beth too. I want to see Mick and Beth's relationship grow. I want to find out more about Josef. What about Coraline? What other secrets do all these characters have? Another show for Alex is just "another show". Moonlight was THE show for me. CBS just doesn't get it. CBS does not care. As much as I enjoy Alex playing Mick St John, it was the idea of the show that got me interested. And Alex and the others just played their roles very well. Stop being so stubborn, CBS, and put Moonlight back on the air where it belongs.

Nat X Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 02:29 PM EST

Seriously, the dude who needs more work is the HOT DUDE from New Amsterdam. Terrible show (I gave it many chances), but that guy was droolicious. More, please.

Taylor Blue Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 02:27 PM EST

I am so happy to hear this because I miss Alex..but I would love to see Mick again.

MD Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 12:18 PM EST

wow I missed a few letters there - I guess my heart is all a flutter ;-)

MD Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 12:17 PM EST

YUMMMMMMMM!
And yay - tho why couldn't they just continue Moonlite becaue now we have to wait.
I think I've all ready seen all his movie roles - thanks Netflix!
I guess beggars can't be choosers.
Thanks for ht video!

Amy Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 12:02 PM EST

Good news. It would be better news if CBS had some sort of option on Jason Dohring as well. I don't think I can get through a t.v. season without seeing him on a regular basis.

Yay, but I wish the new show would have him as a vampire...

I'd watch anything that requires that man to be in various states of undress for an hour.

Someone has way too much time on his/her hands not that I'm complaining. Yum.

Ok Gordan here is my idea for Alex new show ..... hhmmmm how about if Alex plays a vampire better yet a Detective Vampire !!! yes yes and add a girl ... a reporter! hhmm we could call her Beth ( for the hell of it ) and they fall in love only they think it would not be wise to be together ... plus his best friend is this MASTER vampire that is like super rich .... well that is all I have for now but do call me! I have more ideas..

Ahh.. thanks for the video. Haven't watched that in awhile.
Alex's fans are just happy to finally hear some news.. and happy that we will get to see him on a weekly basis again. Just hope they get that new show up and running soon!!
