Moonlight is not going to just go away quietly and join that long list of one-and-done shows. People keep saying it’s over, but apparently not everyone is listening. The latest rumor, from Nikki Finke’s blog, has the show landing at the CW. And how would that work, taking into account that the CW has already made their schedule? I’m glad you asked.

You may recall a post from a few days ago about the network throwing in the towel on Sunday nights. That has now been confirmed with their upfront announcements. Sundays have now been outsourced. Moonlight comes back into the picture as a possibility to fill one of those two hours for Media Rights Capital, the new programmers for Sunday nights. If they could get even 60 to 70 percent of the show’s viewers to make the move with them, it could be the most watched show on the network. Something that sounds very plausible given the loyal following the show has developed. It’s still firmly in long-shot territory, but has the makings of quite a story.

Here are the weekly cable ratings, by number of viewers.

OK, I know that everyone is really excited about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but I’m still surprised that a repeat of an almost 30 year-old movie grabbed the number one slot in the cable ratings this week. Not only that, but the sequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, got the number six slot. Hasn’t everyone seen these movies a gazillion times already?

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark (USA)
2. NBA Playoffs - Hornets/Spurs (ESPN)
3. NBA Playoffs - Cavaliers/Celtics (TNT)
4. Monday Night RAW (USA)
5. Monday Night RAW (USA)
6. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (USA)
7. NBA Playoffs - Jazz/Lakers (TNT)
8. NBA Playoffs - Hornets/Spurs (ESPN)
9. SpongeBob SquarePants (Nickelodeon)
10. NBA Playoffs - Jazz/Lakers (ESPN)
