Fetal Attraction - Part Two19 Apr 202600:52:29

SYNOPSIS:

With fatherhood possibly on the horizon, David is overcome with emotions and all that he has to learn and begins to research as much as he can, even using Bert as a guinea pig. He even asks Agnes about motherly instincts.

He decides to enroll in a Lamaze class, but unfortunately, the instructor says he is unable to attend as he has no partner to work with. But then an unwed pregnant woman named Terri shows up at Blue Moon asking for help. The Lamaze instructor told her that David didn’t have a partner to practice with, so she thought they might be a good match. They agree to be partners in the class.

The relationship becomes a little complicated when Terry develops feelings for David. Maddie receives a package in Chicago from Blue Moon full of childbirth books. She calls Agnes and finds out it was David who sent them. Agnes updates Maddie on what David has been up to with his research into having children.

As Maddie is packing in her room, her mom walks in surprised to see that she is leaving. Maddie explains that she needs to return to Los Angeles to attempt to work things out.

SYNOPSIS:

Agnes is so excited when she hears the news that Maddie is pregnant. Unfortunately, she can’t keep it to herself for long, and tells Bert. But states in uncertain terms that he is not to tell David.

But Bert can’t help himself and goes straight into David’s office to inform him. David races to the airport to catch a flight to Chicago. In the airport lounge, he is tricked by convict Scott “Mad Dog” Hundley, on his way to prison, and they switch places. He ends up going to jail in Hundley’s place.

Agnes is giving herself a facial when she realizes Bert is below her window with his Uncle Phil’s band, serenading her with the song “Sexual Healing.” She lets him into her apartment and tells him that she is worried because Miss Hayes said that Mr. Addison never showed up in Chicago.

After Maddie walks in on a limbo contest in the office between David and her employees, she has a wager with David that he can’t behave like a mature adult for one week.

Glenn Gordon Caron, Creator Of Moonlighting20 Feb 202201:14:39

Glenn Gordon Caron is an American Writer, Director, and Producer, best known for the television series Moonlighting in the 1980s and Medium in the 2000s. 

Glenn shares with Shawna and Grace his experiences in creating this Emmy Award-winning TV Series. They discuss the behind-the-scenes fast-paced environment due to Cybill and Bruce being in the majority of the scenes. They also chat about the cast and crew, the late scripts, the guest stars, the fast dialogue, the cinematography, the various directors, and dealing with the network to ensure his vision for the show came to fruition. Glenn also talks about his many fond memories of the show, one, in particular, was asking Orson Welles to do an introduction to the episode “The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice”.

Caron created Moonlighting (1985-'89), a worldwide hit that revitalized the career of Cybill Shepherd and launched the career of Bruce Willis. He was also nominated for four Prime Time Emmy's for his work on Moonlighting between '86 & '87. Glenn won a Writers Guild of America Award for his 1985 pilot script for Moonlighting. This interview is a great insight into the making of Moonlighting!

Brother, Can You Spare A Blonde? - Part 206 Feb 202201:12:58

SYNOPSIS:

In this first episode of Season Two, David’s brother Richie (Charles Rocket) arrives in town, spending money extravagantly and flirting with Maddie, which makes David jealous. Maddie has just found out that she owes the IRS $35,000. David asks his brother Richie for a loan to help Maddie out but tells him not to say a word about it. David gets angry when due to a mistaken identity, David is attacked by a stranger in the men’s room wanting his money back thinking he is Richie. He has now realized that all this money that Richie has been flaunting does not belong to him. Richie found $100,000 under the hood of his car, but refuses to go to the police as he is sure the money is “dirty”.

The money belongs to a drug dealer, Mr. Navarone, who corners the Blue Moon team at a shopping mall. However, the team scatters the money over a third-floor mall balcony, to the excitement of all the shoppers below and to the dismay of Mr. Navarone. This is the first episode of the series in which David and Maddie break the fourth wall, welcoming the audience back for the second season at the start of the episode.

The Next Murder You Hear - Part 207 Nov 202101:07:50

SYNOPSIS:

Paul McCain reigns over late-night AM talk radio, KRKD 1040. During the 2 am to 6 am timeslot, listeners call "The Heartbreak Hotline" at 555-HART to pour out their fears, hopes, and dreams. One night, in the midst of a live broadcast, loud, violent staccatos of gunfire burst out across the air, stopping the voice of Paul McCain in mid-sentence. The resulting investigation receives attention and front-page headlines. David immediately sees dollar signs and that it's great publicity for the Agency, but all Maddie sees is they have no client and she turns up her nose at the idea of lonely people calling a stranger on the radio. Maddie and David end up investigating the on-air shooting of the radio talk-show host. The host soon turns up alive, having faked his own death to keep the affair from his boss, but is then accused of the murder of his lover's husband, who was also his boss. Both the host and his mistress hire Blue Moon to prove their innocence, and Maddie and David disagree over who they believe actually did it.

The Pilot - Part 226 Sep 202101:15:58

SYNOPSIS:

The series revolved around cases investigated by the Blue Moon Detective Agency and its two partners, Madelyn "Maddie" Hayes and David Addison Jr. With a mix of mystery, sharp dialogue, and sexual tension between its leads, it introduced Willis to the world and brought Shepherd back into the spotlight after a nearly decade-long absence. The show's storyline begins with the reversal of fortune of Maddie Hayes, a former model who finds herself bankrupt after her accountant embezzles all her liquid assets. She is left saddled with several failing businesses formerly maintained as tax write-offs, one of which is the City of Angels Detective Agency, helmed by the carefree David Addison. Between the pilot and the first one-hour episode, David persuades Maddie to keep the business and run it as a partnership. The agency is renamed Blue Moon Investigations because Maddie was most famous for being the spokesmodel for the Blue Moon Shampoo Company. In his audio commentary for the Season 3 DVD, creator Glenn Gordon Caron says that the inspiration for the series was a production of The Taming of the Shrew he saw in Central Park starring Meryl Streep and Raúl Julia. The show parodied the play in the Season 3 episode Atomic Shakespeare.


Grace Chivell and Shawna Saari take a look at each episode in chronological order from the Pilot to the end of the fifth and final season.

They discuss the direction, the production, the outfits, the lighting, the car chases, and the tumultuous relationship between the two leads.

Moonlighting - An Introduction07 Sep 202100:02:43

Grace Chivell introduces the new Moonlighting Podcast and welcomes listeners to this long-awaited discussion. Grace and Shawna Saari take a look at each Moonlighting episode in chronological order from the Pilot to the end of the fifth and final season. They discuss the direction, the production, the outfits, the lighting, the intricate plots, the car chases, and the tumultuous relationship between Maddie Hayes and David Addison. The Podcast includes Bonus Interviews with the creator, Glenn Gordon Caron, Executive Producer Jay Daniel, and actress Cybill Shepherd, and many more.

It centres on Maddie, a former model who loses most of her financial assets due to her accountant's embezzlement but finds out that she owns a detective agency. She teams up with cocky, chauvinistic investigator David, to run the agency and becomes embroiled in various unusual cases. The series premiered on ABC in the United States with a feature-length pilot episode on March 3, 1985. The series lasted 5 seasons. During its early years, the series was popular with viewers and broke into the top ten of the Nielsen ratings in its third season. When Maddie and David ended more than two years of sexual tension by sleeping together in that season's highly publicized penultimate episode, "I Am Curious… Maddie", it drew an audience of 60 million viewers. The show was also a critical hit, receiving 16 Emmy Award nominations in 1986.

Due to popular demand, it is now streaming on many platforms around the world, drawing in a new generation of fans.

Los Dos Dipestos - Part Two29 Mar 202600:52:34

SYNOPSIS:

When Agnes’s mother, Clara Dipesto, arrives in Los Angeles for a visit, she has just come from a holiday in Mexico. While she was there, she was given a complimentary souvenir on a tour, which she brings as a gift for Agnes. Unbeknownst to Clara, stolen jewels have been planted in the statue to be smuggled into America.

Agnes approaches Mr. Addison for a raise, as she wants to look after her mom for the duration of her visit. On their way back from brunch, Agnes and her mother are followed, and hence a Moonlighting car chase begins. Agnes avoids the car that was chasing them but returns to her home to find that it has been ransacked. Agnes leaves her mother at Blue Moon to keep her safe while she and Bert begin investigating the case.

Several unsavory characters are on the trail to retrieve the statue and are willing to do anything to get it back. A funny hallway sequence ensues to the music of the William Tell Overture. Agnes and Bert save the day and capture the thieves in a very unusual and creative way.

Cybill Shepherd does not appear, and Bruce Willis appears only at the beginning and end of this episode.

SYNOPSIS:

Maddie and David have been together for a month, and she is wondering where their relationship is going. David tries to resolve the situation by taking her out on a proper date. They get a late start on the evening and end up at a laundromat, where they discuss their relationship, dance to the Muzak, and express their love for each other, but she still doesn’t know what she wants. Maddie leaves David in the laundromat saying she needs to be alone and think. She goes home, and the next thing you know, she’s on a plane, flying off into the sunset.

There are three fantasy sequences in this episode. Maddie receives relationship advice from Dr. Joyce Brothers. David gets relationship advice from none other than Ray Charles while he sings and plays the piano in David’s living room.
