Classic Corner - Moonlight

Aired - 2007/2008
Cause of Cancellation - Ratings and Guild Strike of America
Starring Alex O'Loughlin, Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring, Shannyn Sossamon

Before the craze of Twilight and The Vampire Diaries there was Moonlight on CBS.  Moonlight stars O'Loughlin as Mick St John a private investigator with a difference.  He's an 85 year old Vampire.  Based in LA, he runs into Beth Turner (Myles) a reporter for Buzzwire who he just so happens to know as he saved her from his crazy ex.  The 16 episodes are based around Mick and Beth investigating both human and Vampire crimes and before you know it they have fallen in love ( through the death of her boyfriend and the return of Micks ex).  If it werent for the Strikes in 2008 this series would probably be in its fourth series at the moment.  The stories are gripping and the characters endearing.  Especially Dohring's portrayal of 400 and odd Vampire Joseph.  A rich vampire who does everything to keep the Vampire secret.  If your ever in town and see this on the shelf pick it up.  You will love it.
