Moonlighting was ridiculous at times despite a pilot episode with a serious theme. It was strangely enjoyable though.
The lovely Cybill Shepherd played Maddie Hayes, who had some troubles with embezzlers in the pilot show and decides to make her PI agency profitable. There, she meets David Addison played by the talented Bruce Willis.
The main appeal of the show was the 'will they, won't they' relationship between Addison and Hayes. This plot formed the majority of the episodes, the other parts being filled by Addison and Hayes actually doing a bit of detective work. There were some crazy episodes throughout and plenty of self-referential scenes.
By the second series, Addison and Hayes leapt into bed together which obviously helped the ratings initially. The show lost some of it's appeal after that but was still enjoyable.
Don't think about the plots-they were crazy. If you can figure out the crazy plots, then you deserve to be head of MENSA.
A great great show and the final episode ended nicely and in a way that made the viewers think that they were saying goodbye to an old friend forever.
