While I like Moonlight very much, I felt the same about Beth.  She just didn't
 appeal to me or interest me at all.  I'm hoping to warm up to her as time goes
 on.  Maybe the writers will get the idea and change the character somehow to
 make her more appealing/interesting.

Worst part about moonlight is, I liked the show, but a new series on ABC
is premiering next Friday in one week. Guess what time? Same as
Moonlight! And I now no longer have a DVR since it just wasn't
cost-effective to keep it. *FROWNS* Well, looks like I'll be flipping
back and forth between the two channels, or find a really good friend
who would be willing to tape one of the two shows for me.

You can  stream full episodes of shows at CBS.com  I watched the 3 minute

I like the show.  I also didn't and don't compare it
to either Angel nor Forever Knight.  The show is
different enough not to warrant comparison.   Although
I do find the female character not at all interesting.
 my 2 cents

"There's no accounting for taste." Period. By adding a modifier, you've
effectively put a stop to the discussion.

I was disappointed by Moonlight, because whole swatches of dialogue sounded,
to my ears, lifted straight out of Daytime Soap Writing 101. Then again, I
only gave it a look because I like the young actor whom I still think of as
Veronica Mars's Boyfriend <shrug>.

Cheers,

Subject: Re: Moonlight

I have learned to never judge a show by its first episodes.  Sometimes,
you're lucky, and a program is fantastic straight out of the box.  But for
the most part, the actors have to get into the characters' skins, the
writers have to find out what works best, etc.  Some of my favorite shows of
all time have been those that I started watching after the introduction
period.  When I would catch up in reruns, I was often amazed at just how bad
the first part of the first season was.  Just look at how far the characters
had progressed in FK by the end of the first season.  Lots more humanity,
backstory---it had truly been allowed to come into its own.

Sadly, in today's crash and burn programming mentality, a lot of programs
with potential never get the chance to stretch their wings and find out if
they can fly.

Dare I mention the Unsuited thread on Jadfe?

On second thought, I suggest copious doses of Stranger Than Fiction to get

>I have learned to never judge a show by its first episodes.

    Exactly, but more than that, a show can take time to develope
    its audience as well as ratings.  I love M.A.S.H., but I can't
    bear to watch the first three seasons anymore.

    Star Trek - the original series -- didn't really come into its
    own until after it was cancelled and went into syndication.

    The critics (and others) may have bloodied Moonlight
    with their criticism, but we should give the show more
    than one episode to prove its case.  Why, there is even
    an episode of Forever Knight that I would pass on.  ;->

    The classic example of lettinng a show find its audience is
    "All in the Family".  It was a Spring replacement series
    and had pretty low ratings.  Then college students discovered
    it over the Summer and it bacame a ratings powerhouse.

    The Dick Van Dyke show is another example.  It was
    cancelled at the end of the first season, but the producers
    managed to talk the network into giveing it another chance.

    Cameras used tto have film which needed to develop.
    Now we have digital cameras and people today don't
    know what development is.

    I think one of the interesting things about Forever Knight
    is that "Dark Knight" was about as polished a product as
    any of the better episodes.

    This is, I suspect, because "Dark Knight" was a remake of
    the original movie, "Nick Knight".  In efect, this gave the
     production staff a practice run which they could use to
    check to see what worked and what didn't.

    This also gave the actors in "Dark Night" a chance to work
    with characters that were a more defined and developed
    than they would have been if "Dark Knight" had been made
    from scratch.  The actors were able to get into their characters
    earlier and faster than in many other series.

    So, while some of the first season's shows may have been
    a bit rough around the edges, almost all of the things we
    love about FK were there, and done pretty well.
    It's first year was better than a lot of other series first years.

    Anyway, the long and the short of it is: give the show a break,
    there's only been one episode aired so far, and comparing it
    to FK is basically unfair 'cause FK is a hard act to follow.
