s2e15 Witness for the Execution
episode starts out with david extremely hungover on the floor of his office monday morning. he spent the weekend binge drinking in las vegas.
a man born in 1896 is only 90 years old and in 1986 being 90 is like being 110 today, which is pretty good progress i think. we’re on a good track to live forever. anyway this idiot thinks the medical technology keeping him alive is bad and he hired a hitman to kill him, and now he’s hiring the detective agency to document his murder (for tax purposes).
maddy is against euthanasia but david sympathizes with the dying man. david thinks about it and goes to visit the old guy early to talk him out of it. but he gets there too late. david tries fiddling with the knobs on the medical machinery and a nurse walks in and accuses him of murder. he runs out into the rain but he signed his real name in at reception so he’s fucked.
cops come to maddy looking for him and she lies to protect him. he refuses to stick around and implicate her, and goes on the run.
maddy cracks the case after a single visit of the dead man’s hospice room (they didn’t call it a hospice, though. it was called something different in the 80s, even though it’s exactly the same except today’s are shittier and more expensive). the old man committed suicide and implicated these random private detectives, for tax reasons.
maddy and david share their first non-fourth-wall-breaking kiss of the series.

david befriends a very classy very beautiful prostitute who has a mobster client who talks in his sleep. david pays her to stay up all night and write down the crimes he sleeptalks about, and he becomes extremely successful and famous for his crimebusting.
one night the beautiful prostitute tearfully tells david that HE’S the next murder victim. he goes to confront the sleeptalker at this speakeasy bar/brothel, maddy follows him there, and it devolves into a barfight where the cops are called. maddy uppercut punches david and he flies out of a window.
presumably, every member of the offended mafia family was killed in the barfight and david is no longer a marked man

s2e17 Funeral for a Doornail
A white businessman named Roger Clemens hires an anonymous hitman to kill him because he’s depressed about his dead wife. But after he makes the deal, he sees her walking down the street. He hires the detective agency to find the not-dead wife and most importantly stop the hit.
David and Maddy meet the murder-for-hire contact at a private stripper booth in the back of a porno shop. I wonder if any of these still exist. They pay to call off the hit and after telling the client he’s safe they walk him to his car where it explodes, killing him instantly.
They’re breaking the fourth wall more often, but the scene where david and maddy were talking in the car went too far. David is wearing sunglasses and we see the studio lighting, cameras and crew in the reflection more clearly than I’ve ever seen in a professional production. There was no joke or reference to it at all, it was just pure lazyness.
The two of them haven’t slept in days when the missing wife shows up at their front door. She says she faked her own death because he loved her too much, and she didn’t want to take his money in a divorce. Their lawyer advised her to fake her death, and then set up a legal trust scheme to embezzle the fortune.
Maddy and david confront the lawyer on this and david and the lawyer swordfight with mops. And maddy soaks them with a firehose the end

young whoopi goldberg shows up in this one as a con artist who tries to marry an extremely old man in a nursing home, but the old man dies at the altar, and she’s immediately arrested by a bounty hunter (judd nelson) for previous warrants. she has one blue and one green eye and looks fantastic.
while escaping judd nelson on foot, she inadvertently foils an assassination attempt on a senator. the senator kisses her and the secret service/crowd of reporters shields her from the pursuing bounty hunter judd nelson.
this whole episode has a completely different pacing and feel from every other moonlighting episode. and by that i mean, this episode is actually good.
david and maddy track down whoopi (camile) to offer her a job as a detective. and she’s lounging in a suite with flowers and cards everywhere and she’s holding court, everyone wants a piece of her and our detective agency can’t realistically compete, so they leave dejected. next up is bounty hunter judd nelson, who blackmails her for money. which leads her back to david and maddy.
david hires her and maddy is suspicious. turns out maddy is right because camille doesn’t know the first thing about being a detective. she also gets caught stealing thousands of dollars from the agency safe, but david defends her despite all this. camille flees and judd nelson tracks her down again because every job involves getting a license and judd nelson knows how to find the names of everyone who applies for a license for any job.
david and maddy confront judd nelson as he’s re-arresting camille and demand proof he’s actually a bounty hunter. he pulls a gun on them and chases them off the set, through the studio lots of other productions. judd nelson gets a ride with a cowboy on a horse because they’re both “bad guys”.
the final scene is cut short and the characters discuss what the script says should happen as the production crew tears down the detective agency set around them. the episode ends with david and maddy silently walking out off the set and into the studio parking lot. they still call each other david and maddy as they wish each other a nice summer. they don’t kiss, but they both obviously want to. saving it for season 3. smart.

david’s estranged father tracks him down to tell him he’s getting married. david agrees to reconcile their relationship, and upon meeting his new stepmom he recognizes her as a gorgeous woman he had an unforgettable one-night stand with.
he spends the whole episode sweating over how to handle this situation, culminating with him interrupting the wedding to talk to her in private. she confesses she used to be a drunken superslut and that his dad is a true gentleman who won her love and she’s really into him. david learns that she doesn’t remember him AT ALL, and certainly not banging him in the greatest night of his life.
david feels relief and she marries his dad. this show was way ahead of its time in terms of erotic situations this freaky shit didn’t catch on for another 30 years.

cold open has maddy lip sync singing with the temptations. wild that 30 years later literally all the kids are doing this shit
maddy is frustrated with the quality of men she’s been lowkey dating. david asks her out and in her delirium she accepts. he hires a limo and takes her to the opera, they’re both in formalwear. this is a poor idea for a first date because who is he trying to impress? she’s his boss, she knows exactly how much he makes, and it’s a hell of a lot less than she’s already got. but alright, they go to the opera, and their seats are far away from each other and david causes a disturbance trying to chat with her across the room and they get thrown out.
by the nature of their odd seating arrangement, they’re implicated in a spy plot. they try to call the fbi but the fbi didn’t answer their phone. so they’re left on their own to infiltrate a boxing match by brutally assaulting the american boxer, and have david take his place in the heavyweight match against a soviet supersoldier, whom he is trying to protect from a public assassination, possibly by snipers. the russian either doesn’t speak english or doesn’t believe david, because he relentlessly beats his ass.
in round 3, david comes up with a plan to just run out the clock by running away from the guy the whole time. but maddy gives him an inspirational speech to go out and win, to defend the american way. he instantly gets knocked out, and maddy runs onto the ring to fight him. he ignores her, then lightly shoves her back. she kicks him in the nuts, knocks him down, the sniper on the catwalk misses and hits the bell. don king runs onto the ring to declare the fight over and maddy the winner.

a priest falls in love with one of his semianonymous parishioners, who he only knows through confession. he thinks she’s suicidally depressed and hires the agency to track her down and see if she’s okay and also if she’s willing to date a lonely priest. they track her down and she seems happily married and living in a mansion.
david and maddy debate over the merits of religion. maddy says psychiatry is superior, but she quit psychiatry when her shrink fell asleep on her. david fiercely defends religion. the woman dies by apparent suicide, but investigating it, maddy buys the same shotgun and tries to put the end in her mouth while reaching for the trigger. she can’t do it, so reasons it must have been murder.
turns out the husband (mr horne from twin peaks) had his mistress fake the confessions to the priest so back up the suicide story. as him and david are fighting on a rooftop, the husband starts beating david with a large tv antenna. it’s a thunderstorm, and he’s struck by lightning.

david embarrasses maddy at a fancy breakfast meeting with a client, and they have a huge fight. david is wearing a two-tone rolex datejust with champagne dial and baby blue alligator leather loafers. during the fight it comes out that david has an ex wife, and it’s a shocking revelation because maddy has always viewed david as basically being 14 years old, with the way he acts.
she’s thinking about this at night and we see her fall asleep into a dream sequence. it’s like a broadway musical of younger david living in nyc, and he does a lengthy choreographed dance routine with a woman, symbolizing their courtship, marriage, and breakup. She imagines the woman left david for another man, and then she imagines herself walking in and making out with david before she wakes up
In a bar in nyc, billy joel’s new york state of mind is playing in the background. This is the first recognizable song I’ve heard in the series. I remember reading that they couldn’t get the music rights to stream for many years and watching 2.5 seasons I couldn’t imagine why. I guess they’re gonna do more of this
Anyway, maddy flies to new york (david’s there attending his friend’s funeral. The friend is also his ex brother in law), and they bond as david reveals some level of vulnerability

The cold open shows this episode is from the perspective of a young american 1980s boy, whose mom turns off the tv show moonlighting and forces him to study shakespeare for a school exam. The boy goes upstairs and cracks the book, and we’re transported to a full episode length shakespeare medley (heavily modified for comedic effect) with moonlighting characters playing the parts. Also, colm meaney is there for like two seconds. He has one line and he’s in the background of one other scene, it is criminal how they underused colm meaney. Absolute disrespect. Booger from revenge of the nerds is surprisingly good in it.
David and Booger are two gentlemen of verona. Booger wants to marry agnes, and ropes David into marrying her sister (maddy), who does not want to marry anyone. So david has to do taming of the shrew on maddy. It’s the 16th century and women are treated as property, so a priest marries them even as she is tied up and gagged, protesting with muffled screams.
david and maddy, now married, eventually come to an unconventional arrangement: the husband has the wife’s support, as long as the wife gets the husband’s equal support. the townspeople are amazed at how unc*nty maddy has become, but they’re thrown into an uproar when they find out the price of peace was equal rights. but david calms their nerves by showing that wives can make good points worth thinking about, idk, they always wrap this show up fast

s3e8 It’s a Wonderful Job
christmas episode! in the 1980s, ronald regan mandated that every tv sitcom acknowledge the birth of our savior jesus christ, every year around christmas (but never ON christmas).
maddy’s aunt ruth (previously unmentioned) is dying in the hospital, and the agency is forced to work through the holidays. the office workers HATE maddy for the decision to work on the high holy day, and make a big show of undecking the halls of all the decorations in front of her. one of the workers talks shit as maddy is leaving early to see her now-dead aunt, and she fires him. he says he quits, and the whole office applauds. a full mutiny. this is the strong “DO NOT fuck with christmas” attitude that many in this country believe we’ve lost.
that night, maddy is drinking alone at a bar in a depressed state. a bearded 1980s creepo chats her up at the bar, and she tells him to take a hike. she leaves to the rooftop and contemplates jumping when that guy starts talking to her again. he’s claiming to be a guardian angel and he’s gonna send her to an alternate dimension where she fired everyone and shut down the agency in the s1e1. maddy is a staunch athiest and believes she’s in a lucid dream or in a coma and decides she’s gonna party. she’s thrilled about it.
but the angel refuses to let her party, and forces her to haunt her friends and take a look into how miserable their lives would be without her.
agnes is president of a greeting card company. a high-powered and BRUTAL executive who forces all her employees to speak in rhymes at all times, and physically assaults them when the rhymes aren’t good enough.
david is living in maddy’s mansion that he bought from her on the cheap, and he just married cheryl tiegs. this is considered bad because maddy is the star of the show.
finally, the angel brings her to visit herself in the alternate dimension on the day her aunt dies. she’s getting drunk in a bar alone and the angel tells her she has no friends and she’s broke anyway. they then get in the car while dimension B maddy drunk drives 100mph through los angeles. the angel says she’s destined to kill herself, and maddy begs the angel to undo it and send her back. she screams and pleads as they drive full speed into a brick wall.
she wakes up at the bar and sees she’s back in the season 3 reality. it was a drunken dream, there is no god. she goes back to the office and tells the employees that they’re on vacation and won’t have to work on christmas.

this episode is in the style of a behind-the-scenes celebrity gossip mockumentary investigative report. maddy and david are real people who work in this detective agency, but they also star in a show about the same thing, with a set depicting the office. it’s a clip show where this reporter sets up the clips in the form of interview questions with members of the cast.
they picked good clips, this episode reinvigorated me on my mission to continue with the series.

s3e10 Poltergeist III – Dipesto Nothing
agnes is frustrated that booger is getting to go out on detective missions when she’s been working hard at the front desk for years. so when david and maddy refuse a case about ghosts from a loony woman, agnes tracks her down and takes on the case herself.
she’s apprehensive about ghosts, so the extreme hauntedness of the house she’s investigating really freaks her out. booger shows up to assist with the ghosthunting and gets electricuted. agnes hears a ghost and her client runs into the hallway with a shotgun, accidentally shooting her husband dead.
the police come and send everyone home. on the drive, agnes and booger finger the butler as the scooby-doo-esque villain, and drive back to accuse him in person. he’s dead. they scream and the old lady client shows up at the door, also dead. agnes runs into the hallway and the family doctor making an innocent housecall accosts her with a poison syringe. he confesses to both of them that he’s the mastermind of the hauntings and murders.
booger fights the doctor, and they run into the library where they throw books at him. a secret corridor opens in the bookcase and they defeat the doctor in his lair because a ghost turned off the lights at an opportune moment, giving them the upper hand.
gonna tell my kids these two had the best love story in moonlighting (1985-1989):

s3e11 Blonde on Blonde
maddy is depressed as a result of existential dread. david tries to talk to her and she basically says she’s too horny, and feels like she’s about to explode and bang a stranger
when maddy leaves work for the day, david grabs booger (real character name Herbert) and they follow her in spylike fashion as she does errands. david mixes her up with another blonde woman involved in some shady shit, and wakes up framed for murder.
while in jail, the real murderer (the other blonde) counsels him on showing his true feelings for maddy. when the fbi shows up to provide incontrovertible evidence that the blonde woman they were following the whole time definitely is the only murderer, david goes to maddy’s mansion with handful of flowers at 4am in the rain. a handsome man answers the door. heartbroken, david slinks away. episode end.
