Missing Episodes?!?!?July 18, 2010 Jean Jones(Duluth, GA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Okay, is it just me, or has anyone else had this problem? Especially because Season 3 was so key to Moonlighting (probably the best season of the show), I was excited to watch all the episodes again. First, I purchased the set that contained Seasons 1 through 3. When I got to Season 3, I discovered several episodes were missing. Frustrated but not deterred, I thought perhaps when they consolidated the first three seasons, they cut some shows out, so I ordered this selection of Season 3 by itself. Those four episodes were still missing. Arrrgggghhhh.... And two of them are ones I especially wanted to see. Here they are:
7 Atomic Shakespeare 8 It's a Wonderful Job 11 Blonde on Blonde 12 Sam & Dave
So overall I give this DVD set four stars - if it actually had all the episodes, I'd give it five stars. Love Maddie and David.
The best season? And, what brought the show downJune 6, 2010 mskrisclark(home) Ok, we fans of the show will debate of which of the 5 seasons were the best.
Season three had more unique episodes. All the episodes due to the writers strike. Rona Barrett, the introduction of the Hubert (Bert) Viola character.
The episode Atomic Shakespeare a great idea, I always enjoyed it. In the commentary we learn it was the lowest rated episode. NOT good after the work & idea put into it.
Then, the introduction & removal of the Sam character with Mark Harmon. The set up for the last 2 episodes of the season I Am Curious...Maddie the episode where Maddie & David finally get together & To Heiress Human the day after episode.
Cameos from future celebrities, look for those as the show goes on.
OK, let's get technical. The chases & stunts. NOT a good job with the stunt people looking like the characters. But, you remembered the chases because the were funny.
We did NOT really care about the case for the week, we cared about the characters. How the characters were written & how the behaved is what brought we fans to the show week after week.
The quotable lines.
Commentary on some episodes & 1 extra in this season DVD package.
Great season but a few episodes seem to be missing....May 21, 2010 Megan(Brisbane, Australia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The relationship between Mattie Hayes and David Addison (Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis, respectively) really develops and comes to a head in this season. My only complaint is that on this DVD set, there seem to be episodes missing. There are audience reviews built into the show - prior to credits in a few episodes - as giving the viewers a re-cap of the show. Several of the interviewees speak about a show that is not actually included in the DVD set - we are shown only clips of the "previous week" and those were important clips about Mattie and David's relationship. Mark Harmon stars as Mattie's long lost love who returns to vie for her affections, and it's an episode in which he stars that is missing. There are a few episodes that really focus on the relationship and that's where the acting is the best.
Moonlighting April 2010April 19, 2010 A fan of Laurel and Hardy(USA) I bought seasons three for the Shakespeare parody. It was great to see the episode again after 20 years and the commentary that went with it was very interesting. The transfer looked great on both my digital and tube TV's. If you are a fan of Moonlighting you will not be disappointed. I have noticed that hour long shows of the 60's 70's and 80's tend to drag a bit compared to today's quick action and paced Law and Order shows.
PRAISE GOD!April 16, 2010 Tamekia Sanders(Jupiter, FL) I'm sorry to be religious but I am grateful to God for this product. I love the romantic bantering between the two. It is fiery passionate love, everybody can't have historical prince charming romance, but this is so delectable as entertainment!Thank You! Thank You! Thank YOU! I watch a portion of it 6 out of 7 days a week. I feel my peace has been polished. PEACE HAS BEEN RESTORED TO THE HUMBLE CITIZENS OF THE WORLD! THANK YOU FOREVER!
