CBS blows. I stopped watching it after Moonlight was cancelled even though I love Craig Ferguson. I have principles. LOL

The Nielsen rating system needs to die.....period.
$2.5M?!? That's insane. Wow. Especially for a show with no name stars. No offense, but I don't blame CBS for making that business decision. If Arrested Development- a star-laden, critically acclaimed (both qualifiers that Moonlight can't match up to- no offense) comedy was canceled due to its $1.2M per show budget, then, well, there's no hope for Moonlight. That budget is just silly. Where do they shoot, the actual Transylvania?

Like I said, it would be perfect for syndication (a late 00's version of Forever Knight, a highly successful syndicated show ten years ago), but things have changed.
