Moonlight fans give blood

There will be blood - from fans trying to save CBS' vampire drama, Moonlight. The show, which has yet to be renewed, is the focal point of a nationwide blood drive that fans hope will convince network officials to bring Moonlight back for a second season. The rallying point, YouChoose.net, claims that more than 3,000 people have pledged to donate a pint of blood each.

Moonlight star Alex O'Loughlin has been so touched by fans' efforts that he has agreed to become a spokesman for the Red Cross, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Despite the fans' efforts, at the moment Moonlight is not in any real danger of getting cancelled. With four new episodes slated to air starting April 25, the modestly rated series is expected to return next season. Viewers say they aren't taking any chances. "We wanted to celebrate the return of episodes and really focus attention on the show," said Barbara Arnold, a fan who helped organize the drive.

Another CBS show, Jericho was briefly returned to the air following a fan protest in which tons and tons of peanuts were sent to the network. CBS cancelled the series for good two weeks ago.
