Title theme & opening, Moonlighting

[TheWarrior124]

my favorite show all time......excellent cast, storyline, the witty humor & back and forth between  cybill & bruce. i remember couldnt wait to watch this every week, even got haircut like David Addison...... just love this show

[netscorcher25]

Sad we will never see those days again. Sigh.........

[roxgurrl6090]

I love this series!! I watch it all the time!!

[LisztianGR]

I miss my childhood... :(

[MegaJazzy18]

fell in love with this show in 86"......... wuz 6 yrs old had to sneak and watch ....... equalizer, spencer for hire, hawk , miami vice , were excellent shows to.... miss 80"s tv shows.

[modblogger1]

The shows of the 1980's were so much more riveting. Albeit, the scripts unlike this show could be a bit campy, i.e. A-Team, the shows were creative. The shows drew us in every week. Shows now are tacky and boring. TV is dead.

[TJCATLOVER]

Good memories!!!!!!

[kokoriko999]

How did years go by so fast??? Sooooo nostalgic :'(

[AlbertoEscalante15]

Wow. Shows were actually good once. I just love the intro, and I mean, man, was this deep. It's more than a TV Show, it's like making love to your ears.

[YOUvsBULLIES]

I recall a scene where they were being chased in a hallway by a bad guy with a gun and she bravely grabbed a fire extinguisher from the wall and rolled it toward the bad guy to trip him up. Not a very good idea as he merely jumped over the slow-moving object. It was funny.

[roxgurrl6090]

@YOUvsBULLIES i love that episode!

[istanbultravellers]

ahh memories are so fatal as listen this one

[sarajery8]

i melt when i listen to this

[Majormaxie]

Seems as though broadcast TV is trying this year to rekindle the sly & witty, yet provocative thoughts that Moonlighting captured so long ago. I haven't watched much broadcast TV of late -- too many insipid reality shows -- albeit some reality shows are intriguing, most fall to Lowest Common Denominator (another type of LCD)... and the copying/plagiarism is rampant. BUT -- there are a few "gems" trying to emerge.

[ktdacas]

This was my show!

[Lion33Queen]

Yep, I was about 10 year old too. It's crazy how involved I was in this show. Like PrincessofPower said, it takes you to a warm and romantic place. I remember David and Sam competing for Maddie's heart - so intense.

[kay77764]

i love this song!

[younghoss]

This was my favorite, too back in the day.

It was so very witty and clever until Maddie slept around season 3(as an excuse for her real-life pregnancy).

Then the show expanded the roles of Agnes and Burt to mask the war between Cybill and Bruce. But those first couple yrs were fantastic.

[pipopecelebre]

series que nunca volveran ...las series de ahora son BASURA!!!!

[ARakaLordBrilliant]

I used to watch this as a kid and the song made me like wow I have dreams. I used to go to sleep watching it. I was in third grade I believe! This song is good. Classy like black dynamite said.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

Classy, elegant opening

I'll always remember this as the last time Bruce Willis actually showed some acting "chops"

[crysjumar1]

@BlackDynamiteNYC yippy ki yay mutha......

[kray97]

It's been a long time since I've seen the show....I think I was in fifth grade when it came out, but I know that theme song well, every scene, every part of the song.

Great show, and it had Bruce Willis before Die Hard.

[AlbertoEscalante15]

Everyone! Please go to the link and sign the petition, it is to get Moonlighting back on air!! Yes! Please! I am 15 years old and I have never seen it! Please Please Please! We're trying to get 1000, I know everyone would love it!

[KevinAnthonyB]

Sometimes I think I had life more figured out back then.

[manoskok]

@KevinAnthonyB join the club my friend. Most of the time I feel like that .. *sigh*

[misterashley]

Man, this show was good.

[nickie2011]

I was born in 1976... this TV series is part of my childhood.... Oh God, those were times... what a different world back then.

[somewhatlongdong]

Bruce Willis is still a stud.

[gamemaster52]

0:40 alright... lady gaga existed in the 80's?

[ShaneC27]

Moonlighting, Cheers, Dallas, Live Aid, Queen, Michael Jackson, Max Headroom, Barry McGuigan, White Pepsi Cans, Back to the Future, Breakfast Club, Space Invaders -- there will never be another decade like the 80s!

[tanrat7]

this theme song reminds me of when it was time to go to bed when I was a kid

[IrrepressibleGuile]

@tanrat7 I was just about to make the same comment. Never knew what this show was about, nor did I ever watch it, just remember being in bed and hearing the theme music...samething for cagney and lacey too

[nickie2011]

@tanrat7 Me too, hahaha!!! here we are, a bunch of people from all around the world, sharing the same experience... LOL. I'm crying. I think I'm having my mid-thirties life crisis. Waaaaaahhhh

[Credithelper75]

Now here a was a great 5 star 1980's detective show.....loved it!!

[SkyperRj]

ohh this seems a good series i´ve too see

[astergia]

the best ever...very nice years for tv . .

[Adesign4]

Love love always this show. Love Bruce still.

[timgrez]

damn I almost forgot how Bruce Willis looked with hair!

[YoungKoolness17]

my dad got this from japan and the quality was better then anyone version i've seen

[wendys120]

I always thought they were calling that secretary Mr. Pesto. And I thought that was a strange name for a female! :)

[mapf78]

This serial TV was hit in Spain and Portugal.

In Spain was called "LUZ DE LUNA" ('Light Of Moon')

Ahhhhh, the '80s... "Miami Vice", "The A Team", "Knight Rider", "V", ... the Game & Watch from NINTENDO jejejejejejeee. ;)

For the spanish people and who speak spanish must watching the Coca-Cola tv spot tittled: Coca cola generación 80 spot.

My name is Miguel Ángel i was born in 1978 and i from Seville - SPAIN. Bye to everybody !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[icaktan]

This was a hit in Turkiye aswell. Just remembered my chilhood ...

[Verd1m5]

0 dislikes. The way its meant to be. :)

[zestydude87]

@Verd1m5 and still zero dislikes. God i miss the 80s

[Diskoboy1974]

If anyone ever asks you to sum up the 80's in a minute, or less - just show them this.

[karakteran]

the best theme of all time. the best tv series too.

[rochstan123]

What a great era the 80's was, I loved this show, think everyone knew Bruce would make it big, don't know what happened to Cybil Shepherd.

[illuminatioracle]

0:40 lady gaga's so fucking original, huh?

[sean2015]

@illuminatioracle you hit the nail right on the head. Watch Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" video (the scene where she emerges from the pool with the two boxers) and then compare it with the Gozer scene from the movie "Ghostbusters".

Lady Gaga has copied every part of her routine from another movie or music video.

[timhomer2009]

Is the Jack and Mike theme available on here? (It was a spin-off of Moonlighting).

[emaimon1]

I had such a huge crush on Cybill Shepherd

[geeyach040]

Brings back good memories. High School days. Sigh

[clair1900]

Seeing this is very poignant for me. I was in my late twenties at the time of this series and I and my friends watched it FAITHFULLY. I had just reentered art school. - long live big hair, I was a "new romantic"...My boyfriend, soon to be my husband, said he thought of this song when he thought of us, so I guess you could say it was our song. It was all very... roses sent to me for no reason at all, etc. - may you all have a romance like mine. "The 80's" WERE a thing of beauty.

[OOOpopularpopOOO]

i used to watch this drama on TV with mom in here , Japan.

i was a little kid but i really enjoyed it and was in love with Cybill.

[aztekarrow]

Before John McClain.

[keithsmove]

OMG Who is the woman with the large bazooms?

[DaringDarkwingDuck]

@keithsmove That's my homegirl Angelyne. She's funny as hell, because she pays for billboards of herself to be put up.

[rudydynxx]

beautifull tune man

[DaringDarkwingDuck]

This was one of the shows that I would watch just to hear the opening theme. After it was over, I would change the channel.

[Cranberries87]

@DaringDarkwingDuck That's how I felt about LA Law! I never watched the show--it was out when I was in elementary school--but I'd watch the opening credits just to hear the theme song.

[avecmoi1117]

Wow...this use to be my show!! I was like 10 years old when this show was really popular. I thought Bruce Willis was so funny and Cybill Shepard was so sophisticated as Maddie. Loved the banter between them and the whole will they are won't they storyline.

[islandbee]

I loved this intro so much that I would be disappointed if I missed it on TV. The still shots and photos made it look like city life is fun and full of things to do. I was just entering high school when this premiered on ABC and was hooked till the end. It was hard to do my homework while watching this show.....LOL Memories.

[mason6288]

al wee need you don't died. xoxo.

[tanrat7]

this theme song reminds me of getting ready to go to bed in 4th and 5th grade :p

[steelerbradd]

ahhhhh back when T.V. had actors, not reality t.v. Don't we sometimes watch T.V. just to escape reality for a while. I miss shows like this and Family Ties etc. Shows that took the time to develop characters. Thanks for posting this, great memories.

[illuminatioracle]

@steelerbradd reality does have actors. it is just marketed under false pretenses because people generally have an attraction to watching a show not for entertainment anymore, but to look down upon others so they can feel better about themselves. its like a drug to them.

[steelerbradd]

@illuminatioracle I buy a lot of what your saying, nicely put.

[ANTON20099]

Memories of mychildhood

[Peter1999]

Memories of my childhood

80´s ♥

[2008mplee]

this was my mom favorite show bk in that day.lol

[txfantastic]

my god i want to cry .

[weegerjones]

One of the better shows in the 80's...especially the first few seasons.

[kevhar12]

I have this song on my mp3 player.! Great tune. I love the 80`s.

[xandervaliya]

Prime-time shows from the 80's were like love letters to southern California, but this intro (let alone the entire series) had me ready to pack off to LA that evening. IMO Moonlighting made LA like a character of her own, like what Seinfeld would later do with NYC. Nowadays I love my hometown, but TV really ought to give LA it's due again.

[EastCoastDude99]

@xandervaliya.......NYC was already a multi character before Seinfeld. Movies like the Godfather locked up an outsiders view of NYC long before the that show

[johnyzero2000]

Great show shot in glacomavision!

[WanderingGnome]

Those two had MAD chemistry!

[myrone]

Anyone know what font is used for the titles?

[jwcomposer]

@myrone Avant Garde.

[xandervaliya]

@myrone I think "Avant Garde".

[sherman4970]

This was and still is an absolute work of pure class.The song works so well with the series.This is how stuff should be today. 10/10

[MultiSmartass1]

This was a show I discovered as a high school student while channel surfing.

MOONLIGHTING charmed me from the first episode I saw.

Shows like this are Raria Avis-rare birds-because this show evolved from comedy/mystery to romance to screwball to in-jokish self consciousness.

This was not one show but several shows in one.

I would argue the show was cancelled in 1989 partly because it was a tough show to write and produce.

[WanderingGnome]

Those two had great chemistry and they both looked damn good.

[old12school3]

A-team,hill street blues,SF 49ers,miami vice,night court,cheers,mash,moonlighting­....O the 80's

[BwayLine7795]

Best TV show ever!Bruce Willis is da greatest actor ever!

[N2GLOCK1]

Los Angeles at night is so much better looking than during the day. Especially around the time this show was filmed.

[suckyamada]

damn i love the 80s

[ChelseaAllTheWay13]

moonlighting, hill street blues, jazz funk, no worries...i miss these times also.

[dzucco1]

I seem to remember it being on BBC2 Monday evening's. Life was so much easier then, when the only thing you had to worry about was setting the right time and channel for the video recorder.

[TheShani73]

Just hearing this brings back so many memories. Times were so much simpler than. If i knew then what I know now I would have been more appreciative of just being a child.

[hoodie471]

i remember shows from the eighties i hope someday they will put them back on the air especially moolighting respond back ok

[YoBebeMama]

OMG I remember back in the day when this show was new!!! I was like 5 or 6 and when THIS show or DYNASTY came on...we knew not to talk to my mom or aunts when this show came on cuz we would get Slapped!! lol Man this theme epitomizes the 80's daym I miss those days I swear

[TootsyJackson]

Reminds me of lucozade, digestive biscuits, wearing my school uniform all day and quietly panicking because I haven't done my homework yet for the next day.

Even in Primary School I was such a mess.

But I still found time to love the theme tune

[MPDLR]

Great show.

[mjfreaklove]

The best times,the best memories and my favourite series!!!I simply ADORE Mad&Dave FOREVER!!!!I MISS THIS SHOW............... .

[groovedoctor82]

Man this theme brings back so many memories!! I love the still shots, and the music, especially the last one. and you're right it does make you feel good. Good times.

[MilkBoyofAH]

R&B/Smooth Jazz

[PrincessofPower84]

This theme song puts me in such a special, warm and romantic place that may never be recreated again. Another great theme song sung by a great singer for a great show with great actors. :) And is it just me, or is Bruce Willis one of the sexiest things to come out of prime-time or what? ;)

[videodoe]

I much prefer THIS original opening credit sequence that ran for the first 2 seasons of this show. When they revised the credits for the premiere of season 3 in the fall of '86, the photos were not as good and a different version of the song was used. Plus, Curtis Armstrong is not in these credits... as his character ("Herbert Viola") had not appeared on the show yet. And I'm sorry, but he was not one of my favorite characters on the show.

[YoungKoolness17]

what kind of genre does this song belong to????

[cityhawk]

I would have to say R&B.

[tazmission16]

I agree it is R&B. They dont have any good tv theme songs like this anymore.

[bmaguire1981]

Its smoothe, I'd almost call it Yacht Rock... lol

[mratfauver]

@YoungKoolness17 I would go two ways on this one: Lite Rock and Smooth Jazz. A perfect fit either way.

[place910]

they dont make 'em like this anymore

[PipBoy5555]

There's a reason for that...

[normazapata]

cuando tuvo pelo jajajaja

[Jey565Flash]

the best ever :)

[somewhatlongdong]

Bruce Willis is still hot today

[jimmyhd1969]

Ah, the 80s. Great time to have been in your teens.

[nightflight83]

No doubt.

[YoungKoolness17]

i know 20st century is cold man, i'm scared sometimes haha

[clockers678t]

dont worry it will only get worse

[NForcerSA]

@jimmyhd1969 I wasn't quite in my teens, but I remember this show on ABC. I was born in 1978. So I remember all these good shows at least. :-)

[gre68]

true sooo true

[zestyguy87]

ahhh, the 80s, such a good decade for tv

[theBELLringer00]

I agree with you on that

Even though I was born in 1982, I SERIOUSLY miss the 80's shows---I actually feel kinda old

[Emani510]

this show came out when I was 5 years old and I watched it all the time and I had a huge crush on David Addison those days are long gone so I had to recapture the memories

[crockett007]

Hands down the wittiest,funniest, sexiest show on TV during the mid to late 80s.

Bruce Willis had that smug boho-yuppie persona working to full effect, while Cybill's cool, stylish, career woman persona also matched the times.

TV, to me, was never better than it was in the 80s.

[TylerMontana]

i miss the 80s too.. life was good and simple back then

[MegaJazzmania]

en sevdiğim diziydi.

[666fannyfart]

takes me back to being a 15 year old watching this every friday and wanking off about 10 times a night......i was like a little chimp......im down to wanking once a month now and my ball bag is by my knees.....oh time is a cruel mistress.

[lucasbig]

i really miss this show

[SG1Mitchell]

One day Bruce Willis should cameo on TV or in a movie as David Addison. Just be smart alecky and walk off. It'd be brilliant and everybody would love it.

[DaftSwank]

They could pull that off on "30 Rock" I'll bet . . . and even bring in Cybill Shepherd back as Maddie!

[Deann17]

I used to love that show. I was really young when it was on, but I had a huge crush on Bruce Willis.

[zitro72]

Sorry is TCM Channel !!! not TMC

[zitro72]

This series is on TMC channel Latin America Monday,wednesday and friday. I love this Couple

[jiveturkey25]

Happen to have or know anyone here with the moonlighting with that more upbeat tune?

[zzzzxxxx341]

miss the 8o's.........wooooooooooohoooo­oooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matdildi]

romance is the best part :D

[mrhollister09]

I actually added this song on my mp3 player. Love it

[weebubs]

this was a time when romance was truly alive x

[hellsugaroO]

love it! sweet childhood memories XD

[JamaicaUK]

Childhood memories here in the UK. This was a hit on the BBC!!!

[Majormaxie]

Awesome! I was NOT aware of that -- thx for the info -- twas a good way for Bruce to get into the world's view.

[MovieMad007]

@JamaicaUK yes i rmbr it well....Monday nights! My Dad who i lost recently was a convert.....I got him into it.....he loved it when in the later episodes or series they talked to the camera and started talking about ABC and the ratings halfway through the episode....so funny!

[djrage70]

@MovieMad007

It aired Tuesday nights at 9/8 central

[Cryssie64]

@JamaicaUK  Was only shown once because BBC2, in their wisdom, didn't buy the repeat rights. I was gutted as it was my favourite show at the time!

[younghoss]

Al Jarreau quite a singer. I like his "roof garden" and "we're in this love together".

I loved this show too, partly because early on it was a clever well written show, and because that was a great time in my life with many terrific memories.

[bvonsvideos]

They don't make theme songs like this anymore with the exception of Family Guy. Even shows like Small Wonder had a theme song you can remember. I miss the 80's.

[JonhMena]

i like the full song. it is better than the one for tv

[Majormaxie]

Seems to be lots of comments about 80s being great or not -- not sure that's the point -- the point I see is there is good and bad in all eras -- look at rock/pop music -- great stuff for last 30 years, great stuff now, I bet great stuff to come! Just good to enjoy the inventive, creative side of people whenever it occurs. I so think it occurred with Moonlighting, like I think so for Lost - but many will disagree. That's life, and freedom to express.... FAM

[FlawlessCock]

@Majormaxie No that's not life that's death and freedom to express insanity and love it as well as the sick fuck you are :) Btw, Bruce Willis sucks and all his movies are crap.

[zubzikmasin]

in the next 10 years

i put Visa for all California even for

US Citizens and the like to go there

mode

fenced off

Zubzik

like WA

[zubzikmasin]

look this Dump is like a toy for me

and You dead people in it like

Zubzik

[klabkebash]

No Booger?

[beardrivescar]

Booger came later in the series.

[Matdildi]

I still love this tv series very much!!I can't get over it!Especially I lke Cybill Shepard !Bruce Wilis must enjoyed this tv series very much ,he used to have so much fun back then!

[headley62]

The 1980's were not that great. People tend to look back at things with a fondness because they are

yearning for contentment.

[yilmazzca]

ve simdi 30 yasindayim..turkiyedeyim ama keske insan hep cocuk kalabilseydi...:))

[yilmazzca]

ne guzel yillardı be o yillar...sadece TRT1 vardı ama tek tv kanalı olasına rağmen tadı nambaşkaydı..simdi o yılları tekrar hatirlayinca huzunlendim....cok duygulandım cunku bu diziyi cocukken izliyordum ve bu dizide cocuklugum ve cocukluk hatiralarim yatiyor..insan buyudugune cok uzuluyor bazen...

[laffolympics]

FlawlessCock, Im 31, with thick hair and young enough to know u suck big time.!Moonlighting with the shit! The 80's were a great time for music and television. U are the over 40 year old virgin who sufferes from reoccuring gingivitis

[FlawlessCock]

Iaffolympics, go back to bed and play with your piece of thick skin supposedly your dick.

Headley62@ Bless you man you know damn well what I'm talking about.. I have nothing but pity for those who yearn for the "good" ol' times.. stop living in the past.. I mean seriously 20 years is god damn long time for people to be talking about.. Back in the 90's I didn't hear shit about anyone speaking fond of the 70's/80's but nowadays everybody does, wonder why...

[adrianpredoi]

This show had charisma, humuor that apparently is hard to get by someone like mr flawless dicky-micky...

[headley62]

She was such a bitch with a crooked nose.

[FlawlessCock]

Finally somebody with no shit for brains. This show sucks and anybody who comes here to honor this program must be over 40 year old virgin who misses the 80's so much. The 80's sucked. Nothing to be proud of, end of fucking story.

[camcam200008]

I love this show too death. One of my favourite shows of all time. They dont make quality tv programs like this anymore.

[FlawlessCock]

Sucks donkey dicks. You call this motherfucker quality program? I call it dogshit.

[dlanceblack]

I loved Maddie, and I addored the cute relationship between Ms. Depesto and Herbert the "sandwich guy".

[der1lowen]

Man, this show was the best, so revolutionary in it's day too. That was what was so wonderful about the Eighties, creativity was at its best and Moonlighting lead the way on TV. I really miss Ms. Depesto answering the agencie's phone. I flat out miss the Eighties! Thanks for posting this.

[FlawlessCock]

Disagree, Eighties brought bad hair and AIDS.

[bilvol]

who sings this?

[Majormaxie]

Al Jarreau's ... melodic opening for mid-80's

[payarui]

Cómo me gustaba esta serie de pequeño. La echaban los domingos por la noche, y la sintonía me encantaba. Qué tiempos aquellos.-

[JaysonsMom]

Ahh memories. I never, ever missed an episode. I was devastated when it ended. Thanks for posting!

[Majormaxie]

Thx for the comment -- I miss shows like this as well -- now its about scifi + nip/tuck edgy scenes + murder -- nothing funny on Moonlighting's level at all. Sad.

[Highghp]

Gives me goosebumps watching this, wonderful show. Wonderful times.

[tallandfun909]

Simply dee-licious!!!!!! Thank you!

[lalogoonie1]

this is just amazing

[lcfanyc]

I love this series. I`m watching the third season now. God, the `80s were cool.

[BayRidge86]

Yup,da 80's!What an innocent decade!
