Synopsis
In the comedy/detective series MOONLIGHTING, witty private investigator David Addison (Bruce Willis) gains an unlikely partner of the form of model Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd). Together this odd couple attempts to solve various mysteries--and avoid falling in love. A classic of 1980s television that gave Willis his first major role, the show ran for four years. This collection features the pilot episode along with The Lady in the Iron Mask and A Womb with a View.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maddie & David? Like seeing old friends again., 30 Oct 2001
By A Customer
I was an enormous fan of moonlighting for the five years that it ran for a myriad of reasons than go beyond this review. So I was very quick to buy the Moonlighting DVD that included 1.The Pilot 2. The Lady in the Iron Mask & 3. A womb with a view. The Lady in the Iron Mask is taken from the 1st season & A Womb with a View from the final season.
The one thing that ruined the DVD was in 'The Lady in the Iron Mask' the soundtrack to the whole episode is not the original one that we heard on TV when it was originally trasmitted in England, which was a sort of haunting female synthesized vocal that was again used in a future episode. You can ALMOST forgive the new repetitive soundtrack but why does it ruin it so much? Well simply, the last scene (the chase) had one of the most memorable funny scenes that Moonlighting produced (Maddie, David & two others all dressed up as the same woman running through a hotel corridor) which was originally set to a famous classical cavalier style racing piece (can't think of the title but you would know it if you heard it) this music added to the humour of the chase & made you roll around with laughter. But NO! they even changed that & the scene was flat & not half as funny. You may think I'm being picky but I have the original on tape & if you compare the two I believe you would totally agree with me.
Does anyone have any idea why the original soundtrack was disgarded? lost perhaps?
The rest of the DVD is great fun & brings back warm memories.
Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars The magic of Moonlighting, 25 Oct 2001
This review is from: Moonlighting [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Moonlighting was the best series of the eighties and little has touched it in the intervening years.

The sparkling dialogue still shines, fuelled by the wonderful chemistry between the lead characters, the strait-laced but feisty Maddie and the wisecracking, impulsive David. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis vividly brought their characters to life and the sexual tension between them fairly crackles.

The writing and acting, everything in fact is just as good as I remember it. This box set took me right back to the mid-to-late eighties when me and my friends spent our maths lesson obssessing over what happened to and between David and Maddie the night before rather than paying attention to calculus and trigonometry. There was no better way to spend a Tuesday morning!

The only criticism I have is the odd choices in what appears to be a 'best of' box set. We've got the pilot and final episodes but why aren't some of the really classic epiosdes here? Where is 'Atomic Shakespeare', Moonlighting's sublime take on The Taming of the Shrew? Where is 'The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice' which segued to a black and white 1940's film noir with Maddie and David dreaming about a 40-year old murder? And what about the quartet of episodes where Maddie and David finally scratched the itch all the audience had been wanting them to scratch since the first season?

This is wonderful, quality television that hasn't dulled with time even if the fashions and Bruce Willis' hair have. I can only hope that more episodes are released in the very near future! Brilliant stuff!

4.0 out of 5 stars Seasons 1 and 2 will be on DVD soon. So wait for that!, 20 Feb 2005
Hi, Moonlighting is my all time favourite series, so you may think me slightly biased!

If you're looking for fun and romance you can't do much better, but i agree with most other reviewers about the choice of episodes here.

Both extra episodes along with the pilot are OK, but i think they could have been much better chosen.

I personally would have preferred a good quality copy of the Sam and Dave arc. (The episodes leading up to 'I am curious . . . Maddie' if you haven't seen the series). I've seen these episodes so many times my taped version has lines etc!

It seems a pity that such lesser episodes have been chosen, and classics such as 'The dream sequence always rings twice' and 'Big Man on Mulberry Street' have been left out.

DONT BUY YET. In due course, sometime this year, you will be able to buy at least the first 2 seasons on DVD. So hold out for a little while longer!
