DVD Reviews of Moonlighting - Seasons 1 & 2
DVD Review: Moonlighting
Summary: 5 Stars
In my ordering career with both Amazon and Ebay--I have NEVER received an ordered product any faster. It arrived within 36 hours after placing the order.
Outstanding company to work with.
DVD Review: Forgot how much I enjoyed this series when it was on
Summary: 5 Stars
We're all used to Bruce Willis in his classic action pictures. Try the "somewhat goofy, loveable side." Don't go into this thinking this will be Willis' typical action show -- not even close. Entertaining and fun.DVD Review: As fun to watch as I remembered ... Moonlighting Magic
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched for Moonlighting to come back as re-runs for a very long time and finally found out that the DVDs were available. I am so happy that I went ahead and bought them. The shows are as delightful as I remembered and I'm enjoying making my way through the season ... a show a week, just like in the "old days." Not too slick, lots of 80's style, and some truly goofy characterizations make this one of my favorite collections.DVD Review: Season 2 is the 1
Summary: 4 Stars
Although season 3 has the remarkable Billy Joel episode that goes into David(and Bruce's) NY bartending past, it is season 2 where Moonlighting hit it's greatest stride. The self conciousness self-parody and the Mark Harmon seriousness that would take over the series in later years is nowhere to be found. This has to be one of the greatest seasons of any show ever. Genius TV.DVD Review: Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't know what caption to give this, so I settled on "fun." My first viewing of "Moonlighting" was on the DVDs, having missed it when it ran on TV.
Ms. Shepherd is certainly beautiful to behold, and, unlike many runway models, she has acting talent and intelligence. She is what makes this work--for me, at least. Mr. Willis isn't bad (pardon the litotes), but the writers made him just a bit too smart-mouthed with the wisecracks. That wasn't the actor's fault.
The stories are full of action, which sometimes or often takes the place of genuine drama. Unfortunately, moviemakers frequently do this, and perhaps that is what many viewers want. Real drama takes place behind the eyes and countenance of good actors, not in gun duels or fistfights. Alas, subtlety is lost on many.
That said, this is fun to watch, to pass some idle time.
Description of Moonlighting - Seasons 1 & 2
Maddie Hayes (Cybil Shepard), 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 (Bruce Willis). 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?Glamorous Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) is an ex-model with a problem--her accountant just ran off with her money. Granted, he did leave her with a few broken-down businesses. One happens to be a detective agency run by charming loudmouth David Addison (Bruce Willis). Her attempt to shutter the agency fails when they stumble across a crime and David convinces Maddie to help him solve it. And with that, one of television's most popular partnerships was born. Moonlighting made a star out of newcomer Willis and turned Shepherd (Taxi Driver), who had already found fame through fashion and film, into a bona fide TV star.
Created for ABC by Glenn Gordon Caron (Remington Steele), the romantic comedy/detective drama was a mid-season replacement that quickly became a hit. There were only six episodes in the first season, including the two-part pilot, but 18 were produced for the second. Rhyming receptionist Agnes DiPesto (Allyce Beasley) was a regular from the start, while Herbert Viola (Ray's Curtis Armstrong) wouldn't hit the scene until the third season (as with Paul Sorvino and Mark Harmon). The first two seasons attracted an eclectic array of guest stars, including Tim Robbins ("Gunfight at the So-So Corral"), Beasley's husband Vincent Schiavelli ("Next Stop Murder"), Dana Delany ("Knowing Her"), Richard Belzer ("Twas the Episode Before Christmas"), and Whoopi Goldberg ("Camille"), who earned an Emmy nomination for her performance. The most notable guest was surely Orson Welles, who introduces the black and white noir spoof "The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice." It would be his final TV appearance. Moonlighting ran for three more years. While the Emmy-winning Willis would abandon TV for the big screen, Shepherd found subsequent small screen success with Cybill. Caron, meanwhile, would launch another mid-season replacement series which became a surprise hit: NBC's Medium with Patricia Arquette. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
