Moonlight was a short-lived American TV series featuring the vampire private-eye, played by Aussie Alex O’Loughlin. It lasted just sixteen episodes despite ratings that were far better than some other shows that were brought back for second seasons. The series played a lot of background music by many established and up and coming singers and bands. Fans of the show were soon buzzing on the various forums devoted to Moonlight, to find the titles of songs played in each episode.

The show was first broadcast on U.S. TV on the CBS network on September 28^th 2007. The final episode was aired on may 16^th 2008. Because of the writer’s strike that year, there were only ever 16 episodes made. Despite a huge outcry be devoted fans, CBS would not change its mind and despite interest from the Sci-Fi channel, no other network came forward to rescue the series. There is talk of a feature-length film being made in the future, but nothing definite yet.

So, Mick St. John, vampire detective, has joined the ranks of those characters that the public love to see, but that the network execs decide to give the chop to!
