Who you want to leave a voice mail for is Keith Samples, the President of Television. Expess your desires, via voice mail, to have Moonlight resume being aired again, but on a different network: The ph# is 310-786-1600, then press 1 for to reach his extention as prompted Note: CW Network as some fans are hoping will pick Moonlight up is actually the brain child of both Warner Bros and CBS,, thus the initials CW. So, tell me can we even trust them to do right by Moonlight?

Wish I still lived in CA because I would have been there. Hope enough people showed up to bolster our fight to win Moonlight back on the air. BTW, did anyone see the ph# 818-954-4321 for Warner Bros switchboard at one of the Moonlight sites trying to win this fight? Well I called it today and the operator told me that WB was given orders by CBS to direct all calls to this ph#: 1-323-575-2345. When you call it you that is what you get, CBS!!! The operator actually seemed rude to me as she told me that Moonlight was officially cancelled but we could feel free to leave a comment. OF course I did. I was polite but firm, as we must be to get our points across solidly. I did tell this comment recorder line that CBS must release Moonlight from their possession if they do not intend to put it back on the air in the Fall so that another network can be free to pick it up and please Moonlight fans. Which is, of course, not what CBS is doing. They are playing us all for a fool and I, for one, do not like it one bit. I know, that I, will be banning any programming from CBS on my TV after Moonlight's fainale show tomorrow, Friday, May 16th. Please check out some of the other sites helping with our Moonlight campaign. Please also get info of Alex O'Loughlin's agents from one of the site, as well; I am sure that right now Alex needs all the encouragement he can get to fight along with us again. Let's face it people these idiots who run things at CBS just pulled the rug out from under his feet and he, if you read his letter yesterday on MySpace.com, seems shocked and depressed. He needs to know we will stand by him and remain his loyal fans throughout his carrer. Don't let this man feel like a failure, which I am sure must be going through his mind at this point. DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT FOR MOONLIGHT AND THE STRUGGLE THAT IT TAKES TO MOVE IT TO ANOTHER NETWORK IS GOING TO BE A LONG AND HARD ONE. HOWEVER I FEEL IN ALL HONESTLY THAT CBS IS NOT THE PLACE MOONLIGHT WILL EVER BE APPRECIATED. LONG GONE ARE THE PIONEERS THAT MADE THAT CORPORATION GREAT, NINCOMPOOPS RUN THE BUSINESS NOW AND WOULD NOT KNOW TALENT IF IT WAS THROWN IN FRONT OF THEM.

In fact, the direct quote is this: "Unfortunately TAPS is pretty stuffy about who they allow as ‘family’ members. They’ve had their doors closed to new members for a while now. There is only one group that represents the whole Washington State area. Pretty sad if you ask me. It’s not for our lack of trying, we’ve applied four times now." (June 2007 - The TAPS Family HAS expanded quite a bit since she posted that comment. I don't feel they are "stuffy," but are instead discriminating. They have every right to be. They are giving the groups they approve the right to use their name, to a degree, and as a results these groups represent them each and every time they enter a client's home. Britt Griffith is a friend, a colleague and the perfect person for that job, in my opinion. Regan made her comments long before Britt made it to the TAPS team.

He explained that many email inquiries for family membership have been lost in the past because of server crashes. Britt is currently the TAPS family manager and said things will improve in that area. Regan is not alone in feeling the way she does as I have heard other investigators say similar things. Perhaps it's not all "sour grapes" as you say. Sometimes "good TV" does not coincide with "good investigation". Yes I know "Ghost Hunters" is different than "TAPS" but sometimes it's hard to see it from this side of the TV.

It simply sounds like a case of sour grapes to me. Perhaps the TAPS judgement of character wasn't far off in this case. She also contradicts herself, "There's no reason to be catty..." yet then turns around in the next question and begins bashing. I do agree with her suggestion that people expose themselves to many different groups, and try to work cohesively with other teams. Nobody knows exactly which method is best at this point, and giving yourself the opportunity to see what someone else is doing opens your mind to other ideas you possibly have not yet considered yourself.

I'm not sure if they will see your comment here. I think the person to ask is "shazymay" who is Ginger Yarbrough, the groups founder. They have a nice forum there where you can send her a message. Good luck! Doug Spectral Review Hi Renee,
