Billy Joel writing a song with Moonlighting in mind and the show, not only using it, but building a whole dance scene and episode around it, is everything you need to know about how awesome the 80s were.

The chemistry between Bruce and Cybill was and is amazing. The way they spoke over top each other is what made it feel real. You can't fake interactions without chemistry. God bless all who worked on moonlighting.

There was no cases to be investigated it was just them two in the office arguing and slamming doors and when it ended I remember everyone being sick of the show.

The turnaround time for the show's editors was, well, unusual for a weekly series. Another time, we shot on the day of the Oscars. Cybill was happy to be released early as she had a party invitation. A number of us extras had to stay later...we had been shooting at a bar in an LAX hotel.

David Addison's multiverse doppelganger who goes by the name Hudson Hawk.

We all loved the show! The characters, the chemistry…. The writing, everything coming together

Our family watched the series together from the first episode. The show was so different and always had something unexpected. Very witty, very intelligent. It is a one of a kind tv show that was properly place in the 80s.

I absolutely loved watching this show, there was something very charasmatic and lovely energy between characters. The theme songs was also terrific 👍💖 Thanks to all involved in making this so great "Moonlighting".

Just heard today that Bruce was diagnosed with ftd/frontotemporal dementia, which may be part of his aphasia condition. wish he and his family all the best I have to find some time to go back and watch Moonlighting again which I haven’t seen since the 80s. we love you cowboy!

My all time favorite tv show. I had such a crush on David Addison at 11 yrs old! Didn't miss an episode. 😊❤

David Addison was one of my first tv crushes as a tween…growing up I kept hoping all guys would be this quick-witted and fun😏Boy was I wrong lol

Thanks for the upload. Don't know where you found it. It was one of my favorite shows back in the day. It means way more now in light of Bruce Willis health today that we have this time capsule of him and Cybil together talking about the show. It's a shame they don't make shows like it anymore.

I believe this was produced for the Moonlighting seasons 1 and 2 DVD set from the early 2000's which are now out of print and are expensive on the secondary market.

They sure impacted my life. I loved the show so much, and both of them, still, to the max!! Maddie and David will live on in my heart, for always!!! ❤️

my wife's sister, Suzanne Waite was Script Supervisor on Moonlighting. Suzanne is the daughter of Ralph Waite, most known for the Waltons... 23:00 Mark Harmon worked with Ralph on NCIS. she passed away and all her things she collected from her time in the industry, we now have. Suzanne would take pictures of ever thing she worked on. Suzanne has about 60 HQ Pictures of the Atomic Shakespeare episode... Behind the Scenes awesomeness.

Thank you so much for this. 🌙Moonlighting was an extraordinary, irreverent and altogether joyous experience for the audience. We were taken on an amazing ride with each episode and it was no wonder everyone clamoured for more. It was like tasting ice cream for the first time and we all got our very own favourite flavour, so it was difficult to wait to have it again. Most people don’t know how complex production is for everything we watch, from commercials to television and all the way to cinematic spectaculars. To produce something of this caliber would probably be impossible today, so I’m happy I got to experience it real time. Thank you all for your wonderful work.❤️

I used to watch this very classic Tv show and I still do. Everything about it is so good from start to finish.

Bruce Willis won a Best Actor Emmy for this lauded TV series...

Makes me miss the 80s. I turned 30 in ‘87. Totally different world than now.

Moonlighting was meta before there was a word for it. Just amazing writing.

The Taming of the Shrew episode is one of my favorite episodes of television of all time. This show was both ahead of its time, and a total throwback. Shorter seasons (for the sake of quality) is very reminiscent of streaming shows, and yet, the banter between David and Maddie reminds us of the classics with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, or William Powell and Myrna Loy.

Cybill apparently did give the writers copies of the Thin Man movies as an example of the witty, snappy dialog she was hoping for, so you nailed it.

My absolute favourite ever TV show. Thank you to all those who were involved. I just wish more episodes had been made at the time. Truely fantastic.

Wow... really takes me back. So sharp, so fresh-- feels like the '80s. Anything was possible; the world was a happy place.

I watched again the 5 seasons. I loved it and I always will. Masterpiece .☺I miss it .. It is good to see the creators behind it.

Loved, Loved, Loved this show. I was working for a company and traveling most of the time. Every Tuesday night I would be in my hotel room and Al Jarreau’s theme song would be playing on the TV. Great show!

Awwww, so cool to see them together after all these years. I absolutely loved Moonlighting! The quick dialogue, the puns, innuendo, just everything about it was awesome. The Shakespeare episode is one of my favorites! Bruce and Cybil hugging and walking with their arms around each other was sweet to see.

I was too young to appreciate shows like this at the time. My parents loved it. I loved the 80s from what’s I know of it as a young kid back then the feeling was just so positive even though I’m sure their were problems. So sick of the woke crap going on in our country today and todays shows really reflect it. I really want to immerse myself in the eighties through tv. I wonder what streaming service would have the most comprehensive eighties shows.

Yes, it was the part of his obnoxiousness that I loved. I am very obnoxious at times. It drove my wife (now ex-wife) and my mom so crazy.

This was the first show I ever got seriously "fangirl" over . I recorded the episodes on TDK video tape to watch over and over. A lot of shows have tried to imitate this show , but it's hard without the chemistry and brilliance of the two leads. It's a shame about Bruce being ill . I often wondered whether they would have done a reunion type show for the two of them. It would have been interesting with the two of them older.

One of the best series of all time. Wish Bruce had done more comedies later.

Some brilliant episodes, great show. Glad they did a reunion. Of course, I always hoped she'd play a "Die Hard" villainess/ex-girlfriend of John. That could have been so hilarious.

Very good show! I remember when it first was advertised to come out. Couldn't wait and was not disappointed! Never was! The very best to you all!

Still rate this as the show I loved the most, the 80's was a special time and this show was part of the reason why.

Moonlighting hit at that point in my life where everything changed. I remember distinctly the night I chose to go out vs stay and watch the show

I loved this show and was so sad when it went off the air. Bruce and Cybil were both so great together. I gotta figure where I can rewatch these. Also...I love that Bruce came to the interview in character.
