Moonlighting (TV series)

''
Moonlighting'' is an American
comedy drama television series that aired on
ABC from March 3, 1985, to May 14, 1989. The network aired a total of 67 episodes. Starring
Cybill Shepherd and
Bruce Willis as
private detectives,
Allyce Beasley as their quirky receptionist, and
Curtis Armstrong as a temporary worker (and later junior detective), the show was a mixture of
drama,
comedy,
mystery, and
romance, and was considered to be one of the first successful and influential examples of
comedy drama, or "dramedy", emerging as a distinct television genre.
The show's theme song was co-written and performed by jazz singer
Al Jarreau and became a hit. The show is also credited with making Willis a star and relaunching Shepherd's career after a string of lackluster projects. In 1997, the episode "The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice" was ranked number 34 on
''TV Guide''s 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time. In 2007, the series was listed as one of ''
Time'' magazine's "100 Best TV Shows of All-''Time''. The relationship between the characters David and Maddie was included in ''TV Guide''s list of the best TV couples of all time.
