This classic 80's detective comedy/drama had viewers hooked for 5 seasons with David and Maddie's on-off relationship, along with some slapstick humour, Bruce Willis when he had hair, and some amazing stunt sequences. The writing is the stand-out star of the show, with some episodes so densely written (and delivered by Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd) at such a pace, that scripts were often twice the number of pages than usual. Fantasy sequences rarely seen on TV these days took the cast far beyond the Blue Moon Detective Agency on many occasions. If you've not seen Moonlighting, it's essential. Pilot Episode
Atomic ShakespeareThe show ventured across to Universal Studios Hollywood's backlot - exterior scenes for this episode were shot on the historic Court of Miracles. The shooting schedule meant that some scenes vary between bright sunlight and dark skies with artificial lighting.
Big Man on Mulberry StreetStunning dream sequence directed by Stanley Donen - truly classic television. Billy Joel's song Big Man on Mulberry Street song was inspired by earlier episodes of Moonlighting, and he approached the show about whether it could feature. This episode was written specially.
