Format:DVD
This series out of the 80s is wonderful!
Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis are a great couple and you just have to love them.
Maddie is a former now (thanks to her accountant) poor super-model, who has two choices: Closing and selling the detective agency she owns or make it a profitable business. Charming and funny David Addison - a childish detective- teams up with her to rescue his agency and together they make a hell of a team.
Some information on this DVD-Box:
This DVD-Box contains 6 DVDs (1&2 are season 1, the rest is season 2).
Languages: English, Italian, Spanish
Really this show is just wonderful and a must-have!
And as a special tip: The price for this DVD Box (seasons 1 & 2) is even too good to let it go!

When I watched moonlighting as a young man, I found the quirky detective series great and I would watch every episode. Watching the DVD first 2 season set brought back all those laugh, with the much younger wise cracking Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepperd's foil. It still works, fantastic.

Firstly, you will need a DVD player that will play Region 1 DVD's.
This is where it began, 24 episodes including the double-length pilot. First shown in the UK on BBC 2 in 1986 (and rarely on terrestrial TV since the end of the series in 1989), Moonlighting has aged well even if the hairstyles and clothes haven't. If you can divert your eyes from Maddie's hair disasters, you will notice David's hairline receding as the series progresses.
But Moonlighting wasn't about clothes or hair. It was about Maddie Hayes and David Addison's love-hate relationship. They slam doors, argue, yell at each other at the same time and yet somehow always end up working very well together. Added interest is in the cases they solve, which almost always have an unexpected twist.
As well as being a romantic comedy, Moonlighting is also a spoof detective show. The characters break the "fourth wall" and walk off the set. They talk to the viewers in character. It snows in the office at Christmas. All great fun, and both Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis are at their best in this series.
When you've watched this set, you will want to invest in the other three series (or seasons) of Moonlighting. Despite the spoof nature of the show, and its refusal to take itself too seriously, it just about manages to avoid being too silly.
Definitely 5 stars.

Didn't know it wouldn't play in UK DVD players
It wasn't made clear to me that this wouldn't play in UK DVD players so I had a very disappointed daughter when she was unable to play this. Read more

I loved Moonlighting in the 80s, and bought this DVD with some trepidation in case it was dated and dull.

Over the moon (geddit?)
Moonlighting, like any other show, even 'Monty Python' (will the purists let me say that I wonder?) has a few turkeys in the batch, sometimes the jokes fall flat, sometimes if... Read more

Nostalgic
I loved Moonlighting when it first aired.
Now, many years later, it is not exactly the same. To be perfectly honest, it is somewhat outdated and very corny. Read more
