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

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 ... Read More

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.

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.

So many times I reminisce about old TV shows long since canceled, buy them on DVD and find myself wondering "Why did I like this show? This is horrible!" That didn't happen with Moonlighting. This show is still just as great as I remember. The writing is great, and the delivery of dialog from all the actors is sharp. Fantastic show!

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.
