Joel is the greatest producer for bringing MOONLIGHT to our homes.

By enami, Jun 17, 2008

(I hope Joel reads this)

Dear Joel,

I am a fan of "MOONLIGHT" and fans all over the USA & many other countries are fighting to find a new home for best series to hit t.v. in years.

It was a total shock to everyone including news media.

In word from respected Matt Roush from t.v. guide said (his words) "CBS blew it"

Please, Joel...give the fans some words of encouragement to keep on fighting. A word from you would be appreciated. Please do not let us down. We need you. We need to hear from you.

If the series is completed dead....please advise.

"Thank you"moreless
