'Moonlight' Suffers Final Fatal Stake Wound

Call the coroner ... "Moonlight" appears to be officially dead.

The Hollywood Reporter says that last-ditch efforts to bring the CBS show back from the grave were unsuccessful, and that sadly fans have seen the last of Alex O'Loughlin as their favorite vampire detective.

Although there was some interest from other parties, which some have rumored to be everyone from The CW to DirecTV, it wasn't enough to get anyone to sign on the dotted line to take on the expense of continuing the show through a second season.

"The sets have been dismantled. The stage is being taken over by CBS' upcoming drama 'The Mentalist.' The billowy shirts are packed up. It's done," the story from the trade magazine's blog said.

Despite the failure, those close to the show said there was significant interest in the show, but no one could justify the expense based on expected return. Although viewership numbers were strong for even CBS, there was no guarantee that audiences would follow the show to another outlet.

Some fans were saying as late as Saturday that DirecTV -- which last spring struck a deal with NBC to help produce "Friday Night Lights" -- was very interested in the show, and one fan even posted a poll on the message board they said was being monitored by DirecTV officials. The poll, which can be found at Moonlight Line, had more than 2,000 votes as of early Tuesday morning, with 93 percent saying they were already DirecTV subscribers, or would become a DirecTV subscriber if it picked up "Moonlight." Just 5 percent said they weren't interested in switching.

Man, I tried to like his show but just couldn't get into it.  Came across as too Angel without the humor and fun.
