Moonlight (New Vampire show on CBS, anybody watch?)
 

Im a big time sucker for anything vampire related so i tuned in tonight for the premiere of this new show. I have to say i really enjoyed it. The lead (Alex O' Loughlin) was solid and has a cool prescense. And the end of the episode they gave some previews for whats in store this season and it looks exciting (hopefully it'll last that long).
If you liked that show Forever Knight you'll dig this....

Although I hate the fact that CBS replaced Close to Home with this show, I will try it. They did some pretty smart cast changes over the summer. I think it was a good choice to dump Shannon Lucio for Sophia Myles.

I also enjoyed it and hope it continues. I didn't like the Josef character, he just seemed too young for some reason.

Definately going to be checking this one out in about half an hour!

I'm always drawn to a good vampire story too. It was pretty good.

I caught this as well...was actually decent.

Yeah i felt the same way...

I'm watching now. I don't usually bother with these weekly "horror" shows but I like the girl from "Underworld" so even though I'd rather being playing video games I'm kinda interested in sticking with tonight's ep.

I saw a little too much "Angel" in the show for a lot of the themes. Black convertible, story line of a vamp-cult was done on Buffy, the blond female reporter even sort of looks like the cop in the early eps of Angel, etc etc etc..

I'll give a few more eps a chance being I like Vampire stuff but it was pretty slow paced..

Oh and :rolleyes: at the whole fangs + pale blue eye contacts for the "vampire" look.. I can understand not wanting to do make up but the eyes look totally fake and cheap.. IMO would better to just go with the teeth and be done with it or step up to some $$$$ contact effects

My dog has better looking demon eyes then the vamp do.. Yeah I know, they are sort of freaky..

I like the show agree with the comments regarding the blue contacts, looked a little cheesy. All though nothing could be the cheeze factor then the fast movement, especially the running. Funny thing is with Buffy/Angel I always felt like it needed to be explained how it worked, but after tonight I realize that some mysteries are better left alone.

Gosh, I thought this show was absolutely horrible.

Bad acting, cheesy writing, and it dragged on forever. I looked at the clock thinking it was almost over and I was only at the 30 minutes mark.

And how squicky is it that he saved her as a ittle girl and now they are going to fall in love?

I love Jason Dohring but he was horribly miscast here.

Yeah I agree it dragged on. They're always trying to make Modern Vampires hip and cool and this show was no exception. They shoulda went for action not lame CSI'sh drama.

Yeah I had the vibe that she might be his daughter then they did the flashback to his wife trying to make them a family, then all of a sudden...he's giving us a corny sugary voice over about "tortured love from afar". :lol: What?!

I guess that's the "hook" for modern day Vampires.

I actually liked it. I thought it was rather interesting, while it definately needs some work...

A vampire who fights crime in LA?

Where I have I seen that before? :hscratch: ;)

Agree 100%. The only person I actually liked in the show was the lead character. Jason Dohring's character to me was Logan Echols with fangs. This was actually the first new show I watched that I didn't like (Life, Dirty Sexy Money, Journeyman, Bionic Woman all have promise to me).

Maybe I will give this a shot next week if you guys think it has potential. The previews seemed abit cheesy but I did want see it with open mind once. Sadly my dvd movie ended :43 and I said forget by then. Personally I'm not feeling any connect yet this season and with no Amazing Race this year my TV may get a rest.

No matter the talent involved this show was absolutley 100% DOA. Sorry, I'll bet my savings account this is cancelled by Novemeber. It did not work in any way shape or form (and this has been my 2nd my anticipated show of the season).

I started it, but couldn't make it past the first half hour. I won't be watching next week.

I enjoyed this much more then any of the Fall Pilots this year....Even though its just like Angel.

The premiere episode is on Itunes for free if anyone is interested and missed it and didnt TiVo it :D

Where? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

Edit: Nevermind

It was only okay, IMO. My problem with a lot of the new shows is the unknown lead characters are not showing of charisma, this show included. I am fine with bringing on a bunch of new guys and girls instead of retreads, but let's have some people that are likable.

Back to the 5pm weekday timeslot on the Sci-Fi channel where you came from!

I like Sophia, but her "American" accent needs a lot of work.

Really? I thought it was good. But then it got me to thinking how annoying it is that we have all these cool UK actors in American shows not using their real accents. I love hearing UK accents so to me it sucks...no pun intended.

House
Journeyman
Moonlight

...and probably a few others.
