Around 18 minutes in, talking about how all the network people were convinced that nobody would believe Bruce Willis with Cybil Shepard, and finally the one female executive stood up and said "I don't know if he's leading man/tv-star material, but he looks like a dangerous fuck to me. As they go to sleep, each of them has a dream where they envision themselves, and their partner, as the suspects in the case. As I understand it, what happened was this: originally, the score for this episode was composed by Richard Lewis Warren (from Remington Steele), who had written music for a couple of early episodes. That's not to say all DVDs will compare like this, but it was an observation i noted between the 2 systems. The transfer is shaky, too -- during the night scenes, compression artifacting and pixelation are sometimes apparent; you'll really notice it on a big monitor.Relive the unforgettable double-talk and witty foreplay as Maddie Hayes (Cybil Shepherd and David Addison (Bruce Willis) unlock the mystery to sidesplitting laughter as TV's sexiest private detectives in the complete third season of Moonlighting. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Moonlighting made a star out of newcomer Willis and turned Shepherd ( Taxi Driver ), who had already found fame through fashion and film, into a bona fide TV star. For what it's worth, I checked the new score through headphones and it's in mono, and tinny mono at that, so it sounds like it was added to the mix some years ago -- it definitely wasn't newly-added for the DVD. I remember reading the trades about this actor that was ticking off all the established stars in Hollywood because he had snagged a record 5 million for his very first starring role in a film -- totally unheard of at the time (it didn't help his popularity in Hollywood when the film promptly bombed).

The difference is that Caron was able to turn this standard guy-girl detective team plot on its ear and created a wonderfully funny and different type of TV show: Moonlighting. While en route to Chicago to find Maddie, David makes an unexpected side trip to prison under another man's name.For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. Yes, we all know that stardom went to Bruce Willis's head and that by the end of the run everyone was fighting with everyone, but series 1 and 2 are a joy to watch, when there was still chemistry between David and Maddy. Twas the Episode Before Christmas with director Peter Werner, producer Jay Daniel and actor Allyce Beasley (Miss DiPesto).

thats funny I noticed the same thing about the music in "Witness For the Executuion" and it really made me scratch my head. There are some problems with the DVD releases, for example they cut out one long intro from one of the later Dipesto/Viola episodes, I remember this was long and just filling in the running time, but why cut it out from the DVD?A. by train, Maddie daydreams about her future while pouring out her troubles to a sympathetic passenger. There's still some funny chases (the airplane ride with David and Bert in Take a Left at the Altar has a nice big-screen feel), and some funny Willis line readings (the Cool Hand Dave two-parter has some vintage Willis shtick). Not only an entertaining and funny show but one which never seems to appear on any streaming service or be repeated on terrestrial television. It's clear that that different score was there in the print they used; the only question is where it comes from. My biggest memory of this show is some episode where they finished the story early and had left over time or something and they filled it with Viola getting up on a chair and dancing and/or lip syncing to an oldie.

Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) was a very popular, and very well paid, model until she'd earned enough money and retired at a very young age. The R2 video was more detailed but had more compression artifacts, the R1 video was softer, less compression issues. Aside from her looks and manner, she could also keep up with the Willis, throwing out quips just as rapidly as he did. I still have the UK box set, I'm only on the lookout for the french box set of season 1 as for some reason, the french dub is on every season on the UK set except the first. Wired News comfirms the DVD release will have all music intact AND releases a preview of the Cover Art in an article titled " Copyrights Keep TV Shows off DVD.

When the show was being remastered from the original elements, the first score -- the rejected score -- was mistakenly used. Lion's Gate being Lion's Gate, they probably had no idea that that episode had a different score than the one it originally aired with. There are also two minutes worth of Moonlighting Pilot Promos in addition to several commentary tracks. After an intense month of intimacy, Maddie starts questioning where her relationship with David is headed. In that episode Maddie and David hear that about an unsolved case that happened decades ago, and they come to different opinions about what really happened.
