It's with the Temptations (singing and dancing)....as David is going to make a funk video......so it's good......BUT MADDIE LIPSYNCING TO THE TEMPS SONG IS AWESOME......( Note: Bruce Willis is great as David Addison in every episode....so when Cybill shines....I pay homage ! I've watched the first 5 minutes at least ten times...LOL)
- DirectorPeter WernerStarsCybill ShepherdBruce WillisAllyce BeasleyPaul McCain reigns over late night AM talk radio, KRKD 1040. During the 2:00 to 6:00 o'clock a.m. time slot, listeners could call "The Heartbreak Hotline" at 555-HART to pour out their fears, hopes and dreams. One night, in the midst of a live broadcast, loud, violent staccatos of gunfire burst out across the air, stopping the voice of Paul McCain in mid-sentence. The resulting investigation receives attention and front page headlines; David immediately sees dollar signs; all Maddie sees is they have no client and she turns up her nose at the idea of lonely people calling a stranger on the radio. David insists Blue Moon pursue the case, so the pair visits KRKD. General Manager, Sonny Brezner, tells a story of McCain as a very talented man who was also a loner, a man who received many lucrative job offers but chose to work the night shift. Brezner said McCain could have had the prime daytime slot, but he preferred the dark. Brezner alluded most married men work during the day, their wives were at home alone and McCain had his reasons for wanting his days free. Maddie leaves KRKD with distaste for the meretricious man of the dark. But, as she listens to taped recordings of his show, Maddie is drawn to the man; David, in turn, becomes jealous. The pair look for clues and meet Laura Boyd, the wife of multimillionaire, Arthur Boyd, owner of KRKD. Laura draws her weapon on David and Maddie when she and Brezner catch them in McCain's closet, believing her husband hired them to follow her. Laura Boyd describes her husband as cold and autocratic, a man who owned KRKD and other possessions just as he owned his wife. She candidly admitted she stayed with Arthur Boyd for his money and power. As the investigation progresses, Maddie and David solve some mysteries and learn a little bit more about themselves, in the process.As episodes go....and as story's go.....this may be the best !
Gregg Henry ( Who's in my top ten VILLIANS of ALL TIME ) is great in this one and he's not the Bad Guy !!! - DirectorPeter WernerStarsCybill ShepherdBruce WillisAllyce BeasleyA criminal in the witness protection scheme is killed but his wife and baby manage to escape. When fleeing, the baby is left in Agnes' apartment but without any explanation. Maddie and Addison decide to try to find the mother.Best FEEL GOOD Moonlighting episode......
- DirectorPeter CraneStarsCybill ShepherdBruce WillisAllyce BeasleyAn Irish girl who claims to be a leprechaun wants to hire the Blue moon detective agency to protect her. David is willing to take the case, but Maddie thinks that the girl is mentally ill and needs a psychiatrist, not a detective agency.Second best FEEL GOOD Moonlighting episode.....

This episode and the Christmas one above could both be in my Top 5 if I think about it long enough.....
