It looks like Moonlight is close to earning a second season renewal from CBS, one of two new shows network chief Les Moonves says he feels will make a return in 2008.

NBC probably took the biggest hit, but CBS hasn't fared too well either. In fact, the only other show that would probably earn a renewal is the comedy Big Bang Theory.

It was a Hail Mary pass, said Moonves, shifting his analogies from baseball to football. We took it. We'll continue to do that. We continue to feel very bullish about the network television business. Moonlight has been one of fall's most consistent genre series. Although it's the least-watched CBS program on Friday night, it still is doing almost as well as Heroes on NBC and Pushing Daisies on ABC in terms of overnight ratings. Its household rating fell to a series low in its third episode, but has never really come close since, sitting a little more than half a rating point off its series premiere numbers. Bionic Woman, on the other hand, has not been so lucky for NBC. That show has lost more than half of its premiere audience, and continues to post series lows.

Re: [scifinoir2] 'Moonlight' On Path To Renewal
right wing religious conservatives aren't all racist. Many embrace people of all colors--long as they leave their own thoughts behind and completely embrace these peoples' views. And I've always noted that Blacks in America are actually in the main more conservative than most people think. Most people from the older generations in my family support the death penalty, harsh sentences, Three Strikes, bans on abortion, and any kind of rights for gays. The one thing that's always kept many black Christians from going all the way is indeed skin color: their knowledge that racism enters the picture. I think the beliefs that racism is fading, *and* the recent years' fear of homosexuality, sexual freedom, and general sin, allowed many Blacks to go all the way over to the far right. Look at the Brother (word used loosely) in Ohio who helped get Bush elected. I have friends who are black, love their color, but are absolutely far right wing. In their minds, the true Christian must be up in arms about homosexuals, immigration, fighting the godless Iraqis, and abortion. so while I think right-wing whites are sho' 'nuff more prone to have racists in their mists, since race is an aspect of being an Other, i also think this new Moral Majority of the last few years made some gains into bringing Blacks and Latinos into the fold, long as they drank the Kool-Aid. -- Original message -- From: Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L.
