CBS Cancels Moonlight, Renews Mother

Yesterday, we named those shows recently cut by the major networks. Now we know which CBS programs will be added to that dreaded list.
The freshman dramas receiving the ax include Moonlight and Shark. Although fans of the vampire series did their best to campaign for the cult fave, their passion simply didn’t equate to ratings. (I’m sure the network feared they’d end up with another failed Jericho in their hands.)
Meanwhile, those programs being spared include: How I Met Your Mother, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Rules of Engagement and The Unit. It seems Britney Spears might be good for something after all…

Possible Extended Season for Heroes

Rumors
Although last year’s writers strike cut many production schedules in half, the work stoppage may actually create a scheduling windfall for viewers next season.
When Heroes debuted in September, the series was originally slated to deliver 24 episodes. Unfortunately, fans were left with only 11 by the time the saga ended. (Given the dipping ratings, maybe some time off was really in the drama’s best interest.) According to Entertainment Weekly, the shortened calendar may now translate into an extended 2008-09 season. It’s possible we may see up to 35 episodes next fall.
Those of you still wanting to catch up better mark your calendars now. Heroes will kick off its return with a three-hour event on Monday, September 15.
