DVD Reviews of Moonlighting - Season Five - The Final SeasonDVD Review: Series is Memorable and Product Packaging is Perfect! Summary: 5 Stars5 stars for Season 5!
It is ashame that I must settle on 3 stars for Seasons 1&2, 3 and 4 of this wonderful series:
SERIES RATING is 5 stars (*****)
Packaging for Seasons 1-4 is 1 star (*).
Packaging for Season 5 is 5 stars (*****)!
The manufacturer must have gotten a clue by the 5th season to keep the package straight forward and safe for the disks. The packaging for Seasons 1-4 are bare cardboard covers with glued plastic pages that fall out as soon as the shrink wrap is removed.
My solution for the packaging was to use multi-disc covers, cut up the original cardboard cover, insert them into the new covers and VOILA! I have myself the same packaging as Season 5's package.
It has been years since I have seen any of the episodes. Even then I was not able to catch all of them in order. What a treat!
DVD Review: If you love Bruce Willis, go for it. Summary: 5 StarsThis was Bruce Willis' start. He is at his "cool-est" and "funny-ist". Classic Bruce Willis! He later sharpened his talents from this TV series to Movies. Bruce, if your reading this, please ask me out for lunch. My husband won't mind.
DVD Review: Moonlighting fan Summary: 5 StarsThis TV show was one of my favorite shows to watch. It took a long time for it come on DVD, but it was worth the wait. I have all the seasons and continue to be entertained by the antics of David and Maddy and the crew at Blue Moon Detective Agency.
DVD Review: Moonlighting Summary: 5 StarsArrived fast, mint new condition--very happy with this purchase. Funny series that all ages can enjoy, with silly and clever humor.
DVD Review: Moonlighting, One Of A Kind! Summary: 5 StarsFor a while there, Moonlighting was great, wasn't it? It's a show that truly defines the 80s (the clothes, the attitude), it was really fun and clever, and made Bruce Willis an A list star. Sometimes it's easy to forget how SCREWED UP the show got there for a while. Almost every episode had some problem (script delays, fighting between cast members), and there were whole episodes that were affected by a writers strike and episodes where costars Allyce Beasley and Curtis Armstrong had to take over. It was a rather up and down show, especially in the last couple of years. But it was always entertaining and even joked about these delays and problems in a good, wink-wink sort of way.
The final season DVD begins with one of the odder moments of the show, the "A Womb With A View" episode. Maddie (Cybill Shepherd) is pregnant and the child waiting to be born and visited by an angel. She ends up having a miscarriage, and I always thought that was a really uncomfortable plot to have to deal with. The show was always driven by a "will they or won't they have sex" plot, and then they had them have sex and then she got pregnant? And then she has a miscarriage?
This last season is 13 episodes long, and while it's not the best the show had to offer in the earlier seasons, there's still some good stuff here. "Plastic Fantastic Lovers" is an interesting episode (written by Permanent Midnight author Jerry Stahl) and the late Charles Rocket shows up again as David's (Willis) brother in "Those Lips, Those Eyes." David also falls in love with guest star Virginia Madsen (playing Maddie's cousin Annie), but that ends too. Not that he ends up with Maddie either. But in the end of the series, Agnes DiPesto and Bert get married.
This is a really good show to have on DVD, since it's not shown much anymore and it's great to pop in a DVD and sit back and say "oh, yeah, this episode was great!" Thery're aren't many "great" episodes in this last season, but Moonlighting is well worth having on DVD. All five seasons.
Description of Moonlighting - Season Five - The Final SeasonMaddie Hayes, a wealthy former model, discovers one morning that her business manager has stolen all the money she has in the bank. However, it turns out that she still owns some non-liquid assets -- money-losing companies which were maintained as tax write-offs -- one of which is a detective agency run by David Addison. Maddie meets with him to inform him that the company is to be shut down, but he persuades her to keep it open by convincing her that the detective agency can make money. Maddie becomes David's new boss and accompanies him on adventure after adventure. While their personalities clash, a sexual tension arises in the time they spend together. But the question always remains... will they or won't they?
