Heard this rumor at http://www.bb9spoilers.com looks like BS to me
"The season will be called, "HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES". It will be 6 celebrities (paid a handsome fee for their appearance) and 6 non-celebrities. The celebrities would live in plush surroundings at one end of the house and the non-celebrities would live in the other end in "basic" surroundings, complete with mechanical rats and roaches. They unwittingly vote each other to move back and forth between the areas until they are merged. Alice Cooper is one of the celebrities under consideration-so is George Michael. 3 nights a week starting Sunday Jan. 13, right after AMAZING RACE finale.

Glad to see Moonlight being kept on the schedule in reruns. It's now my favorite show. It's so addictive.

I just read that it will most likely be renewed along with Big Bang Theory. 2 of the 5 new shows will be back. So yes, Cane is dead as it should be.

So even with a strike on, and all their shows in reruns, they can't be bothered to give The Amazing Race a slot in the spring?

My brain vaguely remembers reading that the next season of TAR wouldn't be ready to air for a few more months (March?). Plus, that press release lists the January and February additions. So there is still hope for another TAR this TV season.

YAY for Moonlight in any form or fashion. I'll watch reruns till the cows come home, but I would prefer all new episodes all the time. In a perfect world, eh?

Thank you, CBS for sticking with Moonight! You won't regret it!

kudos to CBS for keeping Moonlight on the Friday night line up. I will be watching the reruns and look forward to the new shows when the strike is over.

Will Survivor NEVER end? I know it's the Chia pet of TV shows (just add water for instant fun, no work required!) but c'mon, CBS. This show was amusing for one or two seasons but it's long past its prime. Retire the reality shows. There's reality everywhere you look. Pay some writers and bring back good programming to TV!

I hope it is NOT an all-star Survivor - we've had enough of that! Also thanking CBS for bringing in an early Big Brother! I like it

This is good news for the legions of passionately devoted Moonlight fans. It is one of the best shows on tv, and hopefully the reruns will give a new audience a chance to fall in love with the romance and mystique of Moonlight.

I'm pleased as punch that Moonlight, even in reruns, will still be running during the winter months.

The show is fantastic, and actors are amazing, especially with the chemistry between Alex O'Loughlin (Mick St John) and Sophia Myles (Beth Turner). It's positively electric.

Fan sites such as www.moonlightline.com are abuzz with their relationship and what it means now that Coraline (Mick's ex wife) is back in the picture. Will they? Won't they?

It really keeps you coming back for more.

Bravo, CBS for airing this fantastic show! I just can't get enough of CBS President Nina Tassler's Vampire. It seems there are loads of other people who feel the same way.

Some tempered enthusiasm would be appropriate. This show has come a long way from the premiere, but that isn't saying much. It isn't the best show on TV, it isn't even the best drama on CBS (That would be either Cane or Jericho, both of which are far better than Moonlight).

Nevertheless, it is certainly entertaining, and deserves to be renewed.

Moonlight Rocks!
I am so happy that this show will be aired through the winter. I wish it had more episodes, but I will be watching the reruns!
Alex O'Laughlin, Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring and Brian White are excellent in this show.
