M is to remind us that TIMING is everything

Trailer for the pilot that never aired



The trailer for the show that made it on the air: 




MOONLIGHT aired before the TWILIGHT craze went nova, 
so it died a too-early death. 
Pity.

And what "M" TV day would be complete
without

    I don't think I've heard of Moonlight, but I watched Magnum PI. Miami Vice was stylish and silly.

    Yes, there was an episode of THE GOLDEN GIRLS which had an undercover policeman moaning how he couldn't afford to dress like Crockett on a cop's salary!! :-)

    Yet more programs I haven't watched. Goodness you are exposing my ignorance. I have heard of them of course, but never seen them.

    I loved Magnum P.I. and Miami Vice! Both shows had great looking stars in beautiful locations.

    I LOVED Miami Vice and Magnum, back in the day. Vice's main actors were so handsome.

    I watched Moonlight when it was on and bought the DVD after it was cancelled. And still I didn't know that they shot an entirely different pilot with a different lead actress. She seems really good, though I liked the actress that played Beth, too. The pilot for the unaired show seems edgier than the pilot for the aired one.

    As you say, the timing was bad for this show. AND CBS did a crap job of PRing it. If I'm not mistaken it changed time slots in the only season it was on, which is pretty much sure-fire for killing a newbie show (or even an established one).

    It's hard to be more than cool than someone who has a pet alligator living on his house boat.

    It is all in the timing. Sadly you can't always predict it.

    Blogger ate my earlier replies to you guys! Sorry.

    Elephant's Child:
    There is just so much free time given to any of us. I am sure you watch programs of which I know nothing! :-)

    Empty Nest Insider:
    Is it just me, or do the male stars of today's TV shows look pretty rather than handsome? :-)

    Teresa:
    I daydreamed of going to Hawaii watching Magnum!

    Robin:
    A Moonlight fan! Yea!! Yes, the unshown pilot seemed edgier -- maybe that tone would have saved the show?

    Walter:
    Yes, Elvis the alligator!

    Alex:
    We need a time machine to get the perfect timing, right?

    Gosh I'm old, I remember watching Magnum and Miami Vice and I was in my 20s when they were popular.

    Teenage vampires just don't do it for me, I'd rather watch robots. Magnum PI was great because of Tom Selleck. That one I watched when I had time. Don Johnson in Miami Vice, never watched it. He did start the 'unshaven' trend for men, though.
