Moonlighting

[TyneTeas]

Remember watching this fondly as a teenager.

Would it stand today or be 'of its time'?

Loved Moonlighting but it went downhill fast when they actually got together.

found episode 1 on you tube. thanks

BW is so good in it, shame he never did any more comedy after he became a big action hero.

I agree, I think this was his best acting ever.

If it seems a little hazy, that'll have been the net curtains :o

The thing I've enjoyed Bruce Willis in the most, since then, is Fifth element. One of few films I have watched more than once without getting bored of it. PP is right, he should have done more comedy.

I recall Kevin Smith has quite a lot to say about BW being somewhat difficult to work with. Apparently everything is done on "Bruce Willis Time" (although to be fair could be a massive who clash)

Another interesting thing about Moonlighting is that it doesn't get the credit it deserves for being innovative - it seems to have been forgotten because there weren't enough episodes to play endlessly on cable channels in the US. But as far as I know it was the first show to use the "walking & talking" scenes which were such a hallmark of The West Wing.

And the speed of dialogue - it didn't patronise the viewer by signalling every single joke.

Does anyone else remember the receptionist, Agnes DePesto?

Always answered the phone with a rhyming verse as her opening greeting.

I still remember the taming of the shrew episode! 😁

And the episode in the lift after she lost the baby. Still makes me tear up.
