Moonlighting - DVD not worth buying

A Customer from London, England, 17th July, 2004

I was a child of the Eighties and remember this programme and the format of the series, but was unfamiliar with the actual stories.

As with a lot of TV programmes that have made their way onto DVD the are only 3 episodes on the disc, which is very disappointing.

Of the stories the first, which was the first ever episode (the pilot) was very good.

The other two were dissappointing stories, especially the last one, in which no crime is solved. It is based around Maddie's baby in the womb, very boring.

What really disappointed me though was the fact that the disc wasn't the first three episodes but episodes from different seasons.

I'd hire another Moonlighting DVD to watch other episodes, but would prefer the DVDs to play the episodes in order. I wouldn't buy this.

Not for fans

A Customer from London, 21st December, 2004

For all you old moonlighting fans, don't bother. There are three episodes on this dvd; the pilot, very wobbly, the cast not yet into their stride; the surreal episode with Bruce Willis in the womb, the scriptwriter clearly off his head that day; and one rather mediocre episode. Would have been better to choose three episodes at random.

Poor episodes

jaybeegeebee from strathclyde, 20th July, 2004

I can't imagine anyone wanting to rent this unless they've seen the show - so I'm not going to elaborate on stars etc! This DVD contains the pilot and two episodes from the series.

The pilot is reasonably watchable stuff, and the first episode is a run-of-the-mill moonlighting classic, plenty of chase scenes and will they won't they. But the second episode "womb with a view" starts well, but then degenerates into a "best-of". I can't imagine who though it was a good idea to include this episode out of all the available material. All in all, watchable stuff, but don't expect to see the anything memorable - maybe they were hoping it would sell so well they could release the lot.

Why these episodes??

A Customer from London, 27th November, 2007

I rented this for a nostalgia trip, having loved the series as I grew up. I agree that having only 3 episodes on the disc is disappointing, but worse is the fact that they are not in order, but are seemingly random. I also agree with past reviewers that the last episode, Womb with a view or something, was from a different series, and was incredibly dull (other than watching Brucey squirm in his baby outfits). Watch the first two on this disc then give up. No extras either.

What on earth......

alexandra s from Newcastle, 8th November, 2007

i rented his title by mistake, i was actually thinking of another detctive show but as it had cybil shepard in it i decided would watch it. the first to episodes on the disk were ok bit slow but watchable however the 3rd was terrible! who on earth decided to make that episode was crazy they obviously knew the show was drawing to an end and thought what the hey anything goes! it really put me off renting anymore epidsode should they be released. they should ahve brought out the first season and seen how well it sold instead of putting together a mis mash of 3 random episodes that didn't compliment each other and left you confused and disapointed.

Hopeless

Juicypefkos from from Reading, 25th September, 2007

This is not good movie because it's not featured in subtitles, advice to hard of hearing neither profoundly deaf people do not watch this film because it's do not involved subtitles, disappointed because bruce willis is brilliant actor

Non-consecutive Episodes...

A Customer from London, 19th August, 2007

Thought it worth mentioning to other pickers that this DVD leapfrogs from the pilot to a really late episode (67 were made) via just one other early one. So the slow-burning relationship between Maddy and David is not on offer. I've no idea why the network would put out such a strange mix, but there you go.
