Representing the point at which American television reached a point of mature artistry, MOONLIGHTING took the medium to new heights of sophistication while maintaining a sense of lighthearted fun. Fusing the drama and comedy genres while offering convoluted plotlines filled with serious situations and cultural references, the show delivered laughs according to the tropes of more straightforward sitcoms. The first season begins as the uncompromising former model Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd, THE LAST PICTURE SHOW) loses her fortune to an embezzling accountant; all she has left are a few money-losing businesses retained as tax write-offs. Among these is the Blue Moon Detective Agency, which Maddie plans to sell off until fast-talking detective David Addison (Bruce Willis, DIE HARD, THE SIXTH SENSE, PULP FICTION) convinces her that the business can turn a profit. The two form a partnership, solving the eccentric cases that are forever turning up at Blue Moon. Meanwhile, the two protagonists navigate the growing romantic tension between the wisecracking, smart, but slovenly David and the beautiful, icy, slightly snobbish Maddie. In the first two seasons, Maddie and David discover a dead body that goes missing as soon as they report it; a woman who thinks she's a leprechaun wants to hire Blue Moon's services; and a man who has put a hit on himself hires Dave and Maddie to call it off. Episodes include Gunfight at the So-So Corral, Next Stop Murder, Brother, Can You Spare a Blonde? and In God We Strongly Suspect.DVD Features:Audio: Dolby Digital - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Deleted Scenes Outtakes Audio Commentaries - 1.
