Created for ABC by Glenn Gordon Caron (Remington Steele), the romantic comedy/detective drama was a mid-season replacement that quickly became a hit. There were only six episodes in the first season, including the two-part pilot, but 18 were produced for the second. Rhyming receptionist Agnes DiPesto (Allyce Beasley) was a regular from the start, while Herbert Viola (Ray’s Curtis Armstrong) wouldn’t hit the scene until the third season (as with Paul Sorvino and Mark Harmon). The first two seasons attracted an eclectic array of guest stars, including Tim Robbins ("Gunfight at the So-So Corral"), Beasley's husband Vincent Schiavelli ("Next Stop Murder"), Dana Delany ("Knowing Her"), Richard Belzer ("Twas the Episode Before Christmas"), and Whoopi Goldberg ("Camille"), who earned an Emmy nomination for her performance. The most notable guest was surely Orson Welles, who introduces the black and white noir spoof "The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice." It would be his final TV appearance. Moonlighting ran for three more years. While the Emmy-winning Willis would abandon TV for the big screen, Shepherd found subsequent small screen success with Cybill. Caron, meanwhile, would launch another mid-season replacement series which became a surprise hit: NBC's Medium with Patricia Arquette. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Customer Reviews of Moonlighting - Seasons 1 & 2
Highly Recommended! Being a big Moonlighting fan, I'm ecstatic that they finally released it on DVD. Watching it on DVD reminded me of how wonderful the show was in every way and how much I enjoyed it when it was on air 20 years ago. Moonlighting is a show that has wits, humor, suspense, action, drama, & spunk all rolled into one. And of course, the sparks generated by the unbelievable chemistry between Cybill Shepherd & Bruce Willis. I can't wait for them to release the rest of the episodes. <
>The DVDs themselves are great, I especially enjoy the extra features, i.e. commentary from the cast & crew. It would be awesome if they'd add the outtakes, deleted scenes, and such on the next DVD set.
My wait is now over
For some reason this show hasn't been picked up by Nic @ Night or TV Land........Loved it when it was on and missed it ever since. Next month Remington Steele comes out. These two shows on DVD......now we're talkin'
My Favorite Television Show of ALL TIME!
I heard that the reason this TV series took so long to be released on DVD was because of the difficulty and expense of securing the rights to all the songs that Bruce Willis sings throughout the series. They could have rushed out a DVD where they edit out his little ditties (much like MTV did with "The Real World New York" on DVD), but I'm so glad they didn't. That was a major part of the appeal of the show for me. Bruce Willis singing got me to buy his two albums when I was a teenager. He was my idol at the time, as I wanted to be like David Addison...the coolest guy in the universe!

>I haven't seen this show in 15 years, so it has been amazing to watch again after so much time has passed. Its like meeting again with an old friend. So many details that I had forgotten, yet some memorable scenes that are awesome to view again (I remembered most the "Limbo Rock" scene, the scene where "This Old Heart of Mine" plays when David reignites an old flame, and lines like, "a coffin in a hearse--call Mike Wallace!" or the Seusslike dialogue about a Chinese man with a mole on his nose). Relive all this and more! This collection represents the first two seasons, when the show was fresh, funny, clever, original, and the best thing on TV (before the battles between Cybill and Bruce became so disruptive that the show focused on secondary characters like Miss Dipesto and her boyfriend).

>In watching these shows again, its easy to see what's great about it and what wasn't great about it. The battles between David Addison and Maddie Hayes were what made this show immensely watchable. The fast-talking wit and clever references to pop culture tidbits always kept the viewer alert and needing to watch again to catch everything. The only thing that doesn't hold up well were the cases. Many of them weren't that well thought out, though there were often twists upon twists. However, in terms of crime solving cases, this wasn't the show for a serious look at that. This show is all about Maddie and David, the tensions between them, their polar opposite personalities that ignited a firestorm between them. Once the show made them sleep together, it went downhill in a hurry. It ran for 5 seasons, but the first three are worth owning to watch again and again. Hope that they will release the other seasons on DVD soon...but until then, I'll continue to watch these classic episodes of my favorite show of all time.
