Do you remember this show? It has Cybil Sheperd and Bruce Willis in it. Was on for 5 seasons from 1985-1990. She is a supermodel whose investment adviser stole her money and the only asset she has left is the Blue Moon Detective Agency.
I found it on Hulu the other night. It is a lot like the Buffy and Angels series' in that the dialogue is so fun and rather cerebral at times. Just like I like my comedy to be. They work together so well. Am so glad I found it.
Did you like it when it was on prime time?
I found the picture on Adobe stock.

I did watch it when it originally aired. My guess is they’re showing it now to make sure Bruce Willis gets residuals (money paid actors when a show re-airs) to help with care for his frontal temporal dementia.

I grew up watching Moonlighting as well as other 80s detective shows like Remington Steele, Knight Rider, Cagney & Lacey, Starsky & Hutch and many more. Moonlighting is a typical 80s show where you will find a really strong female character. It was the height of the feminist movement, the 80s.

@celticeagle Oh yeah. I forgot about Rockford Files. It's one of my favorite detective shows too.

Oh I loved Moonlighting back in the day . . .I just couldn't wait for it to come on each week. Those two together were hysterical . . . I really miss that kind of chemistry and humor - I don't see that kind of writing for TV these days.

I had forgotten how hysterical they were. I'm sure enjoy seeing it again. There are very few comedies on TV that I enjoy. Most are insulting.

@celticeagle Right - in fact a lot of current shows just aren't funny - I don't "get" the humor.

I remember that name from somewhere else. I love the French language. I've heard people say they liked the German language but I can't see it.

@celticeagle I am trying to learn to speak better German from years, I do not arrive. As much as I like French I hate German.

Yes, it was one of the shows I liked to watch back then. Really enjoyed the bantering. Too bad that he has dementia now.

Among my favorite shows, Wish I could see some of it again. I do not subscribe to any sites like Hulu just cannot afford this,

I never watched it. I will be getting Hulu for $.99 per month for a year so that I can watch Lost. Maybe I will check it out. Have a great day.
