While the series had plenty of behind-the-scenes strife... it consistently entertained, pioneered the dramedy genre that is so popular today, and regularly broke the fourth wall in innovative ways.

Thankfully, Willis' character becomes much more complex and engaging as Moonlighting develops, as does the show itself.
October 18, 2018
One of the more winning attributes of Moonlighting' is its willingness to take chances, to move an inch or two out of the ordinary.

Moonlighting is a welcome addition to primetime TV, offering a satisfying blend of comedy, romance and action - which in itself is unique. Add to the recipe, the special talents of Willis, and you've got the stuff from which hits are made.

Cybill Shepherd as Maddie not only looks wonderful but proves to be an assured and ; appealing light comedian. As her partner in crime solving, Bruce Willis is more than her match.
October 18, 2018
A delightful detective show starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis (whose rabid sexism will, we hope, be toned down).
October 17, 2018
Moonlighting's first season is by no means bad, but it looks and feels ordinary compared to subsequent seasons.
October 18, 2018
The series distinguished itself with its clever writing, too: even the episode titles... hint at the wit and the irreverence the episodes evinced, if not consistently.
October 18, 2018
The trademarks of this ahead-of-its-time series -- rapid-fire dialogue, Howard Hawkes-style humor and the crackling chemistry between leads Willis and Shepherd -- are timeless.
October 18, 2018
This is television at its risk taking best. The real shame here is that the show never made it past five seasons.
April 23, 2018
We expect television programs to be derivative, but Moonlighting doesn't even do its borrowing with finesse.
October 18, 2018
There is a nice chemistry between them, however, and [creator Glenn] Caron's writing is sharp, so that with a bit of refining, Moonlighting may turn into a welcome, if familiar, bit of prime-time diversion.
