Trivia:
One of the hallmarks of this show was the irreverent (and frequent) way in which the so-called "fourth wall" was broken: at various times the actors would look directly into the camera and speak to the audience; dialogue referred to the "producers", "director" and especially the "writers"; and in the episode "Devil With The Blue Dress On", the characters actually left the set and went running around the film studio lot. moreQuotes:
Agnes DiPesto: Mr. Addison. Here's your ticket.David Addison: Thanks again, Agnes.
Agnes DiPesto: I guess this means you're going away.
David Addison: Agnes, in all my born days I have never met a person who could put two and two together faster than you.
Agnes DiPesto: Math was always my strongest subject.

Presently, "Moonlighting" is being shown on cable (Bravo)here in the U.S. I must say watching these episodes after fifteen years brings back a lot of joy for me. It was one of my favorite shows of the '80's. I remember enjoying the verbal sparring between Maddie and David. It was also fun to watch what antics David would pull. True, some episodes weren't all that great, but what T.V. show has been truly perfect? Anyway, for the most part "Moonlighting" was a wonderful show that was well-written. As I watch these episodes again, I'm struck by how beautiful Cybill Sheperd was photographed and how young looking Bruce Willis was. (I think they've aged pretty well.)Last night I saw "Twas the Episode Before Xmas" and loved how they (writers and actors) frequently broke through the "fourth wall". That's another thing I loved about the show. It frequently broke through the "fourth wall". In all, "Moonlighting" was a witty romantic comedic show that put a whole new spin on the detective show genre.
