Moonlight

This show was cancelled by CBS after one season. A promising show in between Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs.

Slow at first, Moonlight picked up with the inclusion of secondary characters. Joseph, played by Jason Dohring, was the best addition. His attitude and ways were funny and took the audience off-guard.

The principle characters Beth and Mick worked well together. The actors, Alex O'Loughlin and Sophia Myles seemed to have a chemistry onscreen. The third wheel, the ex-wife Corraline played by Shannyn Sossamon, gave tension and suspense to the private detective story outside the main mystery.

CBS without foresight cancelled this series. Alex O’Loughlin is set to star in another series because of his popularity with fans. However, why not keep Moonlight on instead?

Blood Ties

Unfortunate as it is, Lifetime decided not to renew Blood Ties.

This program was based on Tanya Huff’s vampire series. A private detective named, Vicki, who used to be a cop before her sight is threatened by a degenerative disease finds a vampire. Over 400 years old, Henry causes problems in Vicki’s life. With Mike, her ex-partner helping her on cases, the love triangle heats up with every plot twist.

Blood Ties was a creative and interesting television show. The characters were authentic. The story lines were strange and new. Of course, a cult following spurred a second season.

If you haven’t seen this program, missed an episode, or revisit an episode, you’re in luck. Lifetime still has episodes online to view.

We'll also let you know when the series hits DVD.
