19. "Moonlight" – Rating 7.7
In a way, "Moonlight" was cursed. It premiered in 2007 and aired Friday nights on CBS, getting only 16 episodes in total — and those episodes were broken up by a hiatus for the Writers Guild of America strike.
Fans hoped that "Moonlight" would end up on another network, but it didn't come to pass. If you head to the message boards, you can see fans still miss the show, which starred Alex O'Loughlin as Mick St. John, who was turned into a vampire by his wife on their wedding night 50-some years prior, and went on to work as a private eye in modern L.A. There's a thread titled "ugh I miss this show!!!" that was launched in Februrary 2015, several years after the 2008 cancellation. As one user wrote:
"I really wish they would do something for 'Moonlight' like they did for 'Firefly' and make a movie. At least that way, hopefully there would be more closure."
