Moonlight: About the Show

About the Show

Mick St. John is a captivating, charming- and immortal- private investigator from Los Angeles who defies the traditional blood-sucking norms of his vampire tendencies by using his wit and powerful supernatural abilities to help the living. In a life-altering twist of fate, Mick was "bitten" 60 years ago by his new bride, the seductive Coraline.

Forever 30 years of age, Mick's as handsome and charismatic as the day he was "turned," and he eschews others of his kind who view humans only as a source of nourishment. With only a handful of like-minded confidantes for company, including the eternally young, wealthy and mischievous Josef, a hedge fund trader who relishes his uniqueness, Mick fills his infinite days protecting the living.

One night years ago, a single act of kindness changed Mick when he saved a young girl's life, making him want to be a better vampire. Now their paths cross again and Mick develops a distinctive bond with Beth Turner who has grown into a beautiful, ambitious Internet investigative reporter. Reconnecting with her unleashes feelings Mick knows he can't pursue without exposing the part of him that would make him a monster in Beth's eyes.

As Mick lives between two realities, fighting his adversaries among the undead and falling in love, he discovers the mysteries and pleasures that a valuable life has to offer.

Hello!

The sticky above indicates that Moonlight is ON AIR: Fridays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT)
I thought it was Fridays (9:00-8:00 PM, ET/Central). Is this the same thing or not? (where I am it airs at 8:00); or have they changed the time slot?

Thanks for in advance!

Selene St. John · **Posted:** Wed Feb 27, 2008 11:11 pm

Same time slot just different "zones" For me in Ohio it airs at 9pm right after Ghost Whisperer.

GREAT QUOTES FROM "THE RINGER" (on at Sci-Fi on 03/06):

Mick:(voiceover) One thing you learn when you live forever is not to get too set in anything… Cause it is all going to change. Just when it seems like everything is going your way and maybe you’ve been patting yourself on the back… That’s when it happens.

Beth: Hey, I’m sorry to stop by without calling, but since you are a night person. I thought you might be up.
Mick: Well, you know me too well.

Mick: (Voiceover) The longer you live, the more surprises you get. You’d think you would come to expect the unexpected, but you don’t.

Mick: I saw Coraline last night.
Josef: Coraline? You mean Coraline... Coraline.
Mick: Yeah, that Coraline!
Josef: Was she dead?
Mick: No!
Josef: Then it can't be Coraline, you killed her, remember?
Mick: Yeah...I'm aware of that!
Josef: Coraline drove you crazy the whole time that you knew her and now she’s dead and she’s still driving you crazy. You need to let her go.
Josef: Mick, look at me… Coraline did not come back from the undead to exact revenge on you.
Mick: You know how dangerous she was.
Josef: Yeah… I’ve known her for a century more than you. And she’s capable of anything but not even she could pull off a resurrection.
Josef: And...did Beth recognize this Coraline?
Mick: No!
Josef: Well, if it really was the woman who kidnapped her as a child, I think that Beth would have a few opinions about it.
Mick: Beth doesn't remember me from back then, and I'm the one who rescued her! What do you remember from when you were four?
Josef: It was 1603, Mick, it reasonable it would be a little hazy!

Beth: Do you guys know each other?
Coraline: No
Mick: No, we just met.
Beth: So you don't know each other.
Coraline: No
Mick: I thought we did, but I guess we don't. I'm Mick.
(Mick shaking hands with Coraline)
Coraline: Morgan. Now we know each other.

Beth: I'm just not used to being grilled about the girl that you're after.
Mick: I'm not after her.
Beth: I wouldn't have picked her as your type.
Mick: This isn't about types.
Beth: Even if it is, it's fine. It's your business.
Mick: You're jealous!

26 Great TV Shows That Got a Quick Hook

By Jean Bentley, Tanner Stransky | Mar 24, 2009

With the sublime ''Andy Richter Controls the Universe'' hitting DVD, we're thinking about other promising shows cut down when they still had a chance to catch on.MOONLIGHT
(CBS, 2007-08)
Number of Episodes: 16

CBS's Friday night vampire romp came just one year before the Twilight craze really sunk its fangs into America. Had Moonlight
come just 12 months later, would viewers have devoured it? (And, subsequently, CBS, too?) No one can know for sure. But it's a pretty good bet it might still be around.

Corco66 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 24, 2009 11:00 pm

Yes, I agree with this author... Moonlight was absolutely a victim of poor timing among other things.

Harmony · **Posted:** Wed Mar 25, 2009 4:19 am

Just don't get me started about this. It only makes me unpopular around here. Those who have been on MVS for any time at all know my feelings on this subject.

As has been posted before me, you are not alone in your thoughts regarding "Moonlight", Mel. But as long as we have our DVD's and this fantastic group of friends here it will live on always!!

I second that Moonstar. Well said.

Here is a write up about Moonlight (for the DVD release) by a lady named Melissa Bradley.
She has very nice things to say about my favorite show.
