Moonlighting

Moonlighting is the ABC TV series that combines comedy, drama, mystery and romance in the story of Madeline "Maddie" Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) and David Addison (Bruce Willis). Maddie is a former model who becomes bankrupt after her accountant embezzles her money. She is left with tax write-off businesses that are failing, one of which is the City of Angels Detective Agency, which is run by David Addison. The carefree detective convinces Hayes to keep the business open, and she joins in a partnership, renaming it Blue Moon Investigations, since she was was most famous as a Blue Moon Shampoo spokesmodel. The team takes on cases spying on unfaithful husbands, finding missing persons, and stopping killers. Maddie and David try to get used to each other, disagreeing on some things but having an undeniable chemistry. The show was one of the first successful TV "dramadies", becoming the first to be nominated by the Directors Guild of America for both Best Drama and Best Comedy in the same year. The show also used techniques like breaking the fourth wall to make jokes about the scriptwriters, audience, and network, and using fantastical elements like black and white dream sequences and Shakespearean costumes on the episode Atomic Shakespeare. Join Maddie and David as they run their new detective agency together in ABC's Moonlighting. MORE
