On the TV.com website homepage, there is a ranking of most popular shows as of today, this week, this month and all time. Moonlight shows up as #100 under the 'all time' heading and the link below takes you to the page where the show is discussed and where people leave comments. There are also a few video clips as well.

Very interesting. One thing I noticed is that among the clips is a misplaced clip of Kid Nation...and that was the same way on IMDB, too. Curious that.

I wasn't familiar with this site. Once you register, you can rate not only the series but each individual episode as well.
This is the link to go directly to the main Moonlight page:

Hmm. That's not what I had in mind when I asked for a special features disk.

The top 100 shows of all time. And they cancelled it. Can we say idiots?

Moonlight was killed before it's time. But then everyone
here has known that all the long. It's just that things like this remind me how pissed off it made me.

I hate to rain on the parade..but this list seems incomplete to me. I didn't see MASH, or I Love Lucy or any of the "old time" great shows..so, I'm not sure what criteria they are using to judge this..??
If viewership is the key, there are more people watching television now than when these original shows ran..so that gives today's shows a definite advantage.
But, still lovely to see Moonlight on anyone's "best" list...

JIMS - this site kind of gives me the impression of a more refined Hey!Nielsen. I'm not sure, but I get the sense that the "most popular" list is based on viewers' marking a show as a favorite.
There's also a "highest rated" list
Here, which I assume is based on members' numerical ratings (1-10). Moonlight doesn't show up on this one, but it does have an 8.9 rating, which all of the shows in the 83rd through 100th spot also share.
So, it seems that there is the possibility of a show moving up or down on the list based on members' responses. What seems to set it apart from the old Hey!Nielsen site, I believe, is that a member's opinion only counts once. However, that being said, members may change their opinions over time and that would also reflect in the standings.

Ahh, thanks, Lilly. That makes some sense, then. So, this is basically a "viewers poll" kinda thing..okay..get it now.
Btw, a bit

but, whatever happened to the Hey!Neilsen site? Did it ever come back or did the MLers break it??

Uh, they basically threw in the towel.
I just found this article discussing its demise:
